I'm glad you brought that up Teddy. The ERB is for everyone not just the US. Unfortunately, I only have the audience stats for the US. But where does The Walking Dead and Breaking Bad take place? US. Where are the Walking Dead and Breaking Bad made? US.

It is undoubtedly more popular in the US than it is worldwide. Even if it has a strong following in the UK or Australia, there is no doubt that the majority of its viewership is American. Even if that group of 10.3 million Americans who watched the finale of Breaking Bad doubled to 21 million people worldwide who watched the show and even if we pretended The Walking Dead's audience was as big as that (it's not) then it becomes .2 % of the population that has seen either show.

tl;dr measuring the characters on a worldwide scale makes them even more obscure
