'Game of Thrones': Beyond that wall, it's Iceland: HBO does not want "Game of Thrones" fans to forget that the show is returning April 1. As if they could.

Martin constructed around his imaginary kingdom. It looks beautiful. And cold. Very, very cold.

'Walking Dead' draws record-breaking audience: As massive as the ratings were for CBS’ Whitney Houston tribute-filled Grammycast Sunday, the annual awards show didn’t stop the zombies. AMC’s “The Walking Dead,” returning from its long Season 2 holiday break, drew a record 8.1 million viewers at 9 p.m. and with its 11 p.m. and 12:30 a.m. encores, totaled 10.1 million for the night. Some 5.4 million of those 9 p.m. viewers were the 18- to 49-year-olds advertisers target. That’s more in both cases than last fall’s season premiere, which had already set basic-cable records for a drama. The premiere of Kevin Smith’s “reality” show, “Comic Book Men,” meanwhile, averaged 2 million viewers at 10 p.m.
