CABLE HIGHLIGHTS:  AMC was king of Sunday as usual, as THE WALKING DEAD gained 0.09 to 6.78.  TALKING DEAD, though, which likely missed the fuel that the previous week’s WALKING episode’s shocking twist had provided, fell 0.78 to 2.32.  TNT’s THE LIBRARIANS had a somewhat perplexing Season 2 debut, with a robust 0.63 in its first hour but a sudden drop to 0.44 in the second.  9PM, of course, is when WALKING DEAD started, but one would think the family-oriented LIBRARIANS would have limited overlap with that more gruesome show.  We’ll know more next week, when LIBRARIANS returns to its 1-hour format.  Bravo’s REAL HOUSEWIVES OF ORANGE COUNTY was at 0.74, and 2 half-hours of MANZOD WITH CHILDREN fell from last week’s 0.42 to 0.40/0.34.  NBC Sports Net hit the Top 10 with 0.63 for a NASCAR race.  A pair of Disney Channel shows that aired in the 8AM hour hit the Top 10, unusual for a Sunday:  SOFIA THE FIRST at 0.62 and SHERIFF CALLIES WILD WEST at 0.57.  A COMEDY CENTRAL STAND-UP special was at 0.58.  Discovery’s ALASKA: THE LAST FRONTIER fell 0.09 to 0.55, and NAKED & AFRAID was down 0.05 to 0.46.  MIKE TYSON MYSTERIES returned to Adult Swim at 0.40.  A KEEPING UP WITH THE KARDASHIANS special (clip show?) on E! was at 0.36, with DASH DOLLS up 0.04 to 0.21, and HOUSE OF DVF up 0.07 to 0.17.  On pay cable, HOMELAND was leader, but at a greatly diminished level:  down 0.18 from last week to 0.38, while THE AFFAIR continues to show some strength, up 0.04 to 0.27.  At HBO, THE LEFTOVERS edged up 0.02 to 0.28, and the season finale of PROJECT GREENLIGHT gained 0.05 to 0.11, with LAST WEEK TONIGHT (which took last Sunday off) at 0.29.  (An HBO note:  THE LEISURE CLASS, which was the film being produced during this season’s GREENLIGHT, has its premiere tonight.)
