"Breaking Bad" indeed went out with a bang. Sunday's 75-minute series finale pulled in a record 10.3 million viewers, well up from its previous series record of 6.6 million, which it delivered last week.
The episode also averaged a record 6.7 million viewers in the adults 18-to-49 demographic, improving 300 percent from last year's midseason finale, and is AMC's second most-watched broadcast ever behind "The Walking Dead's" Season 3 finale (12.4 million).
By comparison, "Breaking Bad" premiered to just 1.4 million viewers in January 2008.
