Zombies beat NFL players during the week of Nov 19. The walkers are simply unstoppable. Season 3 of AMC’s "The Walking Dead" remained the top cable program, leading the way through the delivery of 6.8mln in the demo (more than the previous week’s 6.23mln). A repeat at 10pm captured #7. NFL regular season on ESPN (Chicago v. San Francisco) earned around 6.1mln to take 2nd, ahead of FX’s "Sons of Anarchy." Discovery’s "Gold Rush" notched #4. Two installments of TBS’ "Big Bang Theory" took #8 and #9, respectively. Also on the list was MTV’s "Teen Mom II." (Data provided by Nielsen).
