Walking Dead wins 5 out of 8 weeks. I don't know if that says more about the quality of zombie tv or zombie referees

'The Walking Dead' Does Something No Cable Show Has Done In Three Decades

Written by: ThePostGame StaffIt turns out the NFL, sports' modern-day television ratings king, is not unbeatable.
During the fall, the super popular AMC drama The Walking Dead scored higher ratings in the all-important 18-to-49-year-old demographic in five out of eight weeks while going against NBC's Sunday Night Football.
Even though the NFL's Sunday night contests haven't all been thrillers, this is a remarkable accomplishment for AMC.
Sports Illustrated media writer Richard Deitsch put the show's feat into perspective in his column this week:
"It’s a remarkable television feat given that the NFL simply does not get out-rated on Sundays, and it makes you wonder if other networks can glean something from AMC, short of creating a show about a zombie apocalypse."
