I could have sworn they said all the episodes but it looks like its just this season. Glad I just watched season 1&2 on Netflix the last couple of weeks.
Sent from my phone using SatelliteGuys
It was listed and then This past Friday it was taken off and now it is back up wth
That was my impression...that they would be broadcasting all 27-episodes. I just noticed The Green Mile is on AMC so that's not a bad consolidation.
True I thought they were gonna show from the beginning until this seasons mid season finale and thats what the advertisement said
AMC Changes New Year’s The Walking Dead Full Series Marathon: Now It’s Just Season 3
This explains it...

"Dammit, AMC! It’s like you’re jealous of #NBCFail.
This should be an exciting time for fans of The Walking Dead. Season 3 has been amazing so far and it’s coming back on February 10. But instead of coasting along on buzz, AMC has made us nervous. First they announced that showrunner Glen Mazzara is leaving after Season 3, and now we see they’ve changed the full series marathon planned for New Year’s Eve to January 2.
They announced this full series marathon during the original broadcast of Season 3, Episode 8, “Made to Suffer.” It was supposed to start with the Season 1 pilot at 9 a.m. on Monday, December 31, 2012, and continue with Seasons 2 and 3 before ending on Wednesday, January 2, 2013. Instead, the new schedule is just the eight episodes of Season 3, starting with “Seed” at 9 p.m. on Monday, December 31 and ending with “Made to Suffer” at 4 a.m. on January 1. This is a disaster. We purposely didn’t make any cool plans for this week, embracing the idea of an early 2013 hibernation with the zombie apocalypse."

Thanks but they should of let us know earlier or not send out that earlier press release saying they were going to show it from the beginning until mid season finale.Big mistake by Amc and owners of the network
I wonder if it was a rights issue. They may have planned to do the full series starting with the premiere then found out from legal that they had given up the rights when they sold the episodes to itunes/amazon/etc., for a period of time.
I'd rather watch on Netflix then on AMC anyways, no screen crawls, no commercials. And better HD quality than Dish. Of course I also have the BDs...
Why 'The Walking Dead' Killed Off Its Latest Showrunner
Source
Insiders tell THR that "very protective" comic book writer Robert Kirkman was one of many who clashed with now-fired Glen Mazzara.
"When a network fires two showrunners in less than 18 months from its biggest hit -- and one of the most successful franchises on television -- that is sure to make waves in Hollywood and with fans. So no matter how AMC tried to spin the Dec. 21 departure of Glen Mazzara from The Walking Dead as just one of those amicable things, insiders rolled their eyes -- especially because the network let go co-creator Frank Darabont in July 2011 and has had high-profile spats with writer-producers on its hits Mad Men and Breaking Bad.
AMC and Walking Dead comic book writer and producer Robert Kirkman were blamed for Mazzara's ouster and called out by name by showrunners Shawn Ryan (Last Resort) and Kurt Sutter (Sons of Anarchy), neither of whom is involved with Walking Dead but both of whom worked with Mazzara on Ryan's FX series The Shield. Ryan tweeted, "It's a real question now why good showrunners should sell to AMC," and Sutter followed with a tweet declaring that AMC had sent him "a gift basket filled with … broken promises and the marinated tongue used to lick Kirkman's ass."

AMC Networks Head on Glen Mazzara's 'Walking Dead' Exit and 'The Killing's' Surprise Return (Q&A)
http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/walking-dead-glen-mazzara-killing-412767
CEO Josh Sapan tells THR about those pesky carriage battles and the drama that could reinvent Sundance Channel.
For about 20 minutes each morning, AMC Networks CEO Josh Sapan is focused not on programming or finances but rather his transcendental meditation practice. Finding a temporary Zen place is necessary given the 26-year company veteran’s huge responsibilities, managing a portfolio of networks that includes AMC, IFC, WEtv and Sundance Channel.
His flagship, AMC, parted ways with Glen Mazzara, its second showrunner on The Walking Dead, in late December (he has been replaced by Scott Gimple for the show's fourth season), even as the critically lauded zombie drama became the first cable series to beat all of broadcast’s fare in the key 18-to-49 demographic. Walking Dead, along with IFC’s Portlandia and AMC’s Breaking Bad and Mad Men, helped publicly traded AMC Networks’ net revenue reach $332 million for the third quarter, up 17 percent year-over-year, with advertising revenue rising 9.1 percent.
.....
The Hollywood Reporter: Why let Mazzara go from The Walking Dead when the show is breaking records? What happened?
Josh Sapan: We love the show, and we admire and cherish the work of everybody involved who made it an extraordinarily well-crafted TV series. … In the case of Glen, we decided mutually to part ways.
THR: But other showrunners have blasted your network. The Shield’s Shawn Ryan said, “It's a real question now why good showrunners should sell to AMC.” How does that make you feel?
Sapan: We really do believe that people who make great TV shows have a rare capability, and we hold them in extraordinarily high regard. Certainly it would be preferable to have as much continuity as possible. We’ll forge ahead and hope to make great shows and be the best place to work.
THR: So those comments don’t concern you?
Sapan: We’ll do the best we can to be an environment where the best creative people can flourish. We’ll hopefully learn from everything we do.
STORY: Scott Gimple Tapped as New Walking Dead Showrunner
THR: AMC Networks has engaged in a series of carriage battles, with the recent Dish fight getting particularly ugly. Who wins in this sort of public-perception battle?
Sapan: For the most part, they’re just unfortunate, but they’re hard to avoid because of pressures on both sides. The MVPDs [multichannel video programming distributors] are under margin pressure and the programmers need to invest more to compete, and those two things are obviously, to some degree, at conflict today. If there’s a victor -- and I wouldn’t declare a victor -- [it’s us because] I think people want the shows [that we provide].
THR: Is AMC asking too much?
Sapan: Just look at how AMC is performing today in terms of ratings, consumer appeal and then this emerging metric, which assesses what people care about most. We have a good track record for having shows that matter the most to people. That’s genuine value to a retailer, and it should be rewarded. If you look at that constellation of metrics, I think we’d come up at 75 cents [per subscriber], frankly, but history and incumbency have a role in this market. [Before the settlement, Dish had been paying about 50 cents, according to analysts.]
