  AMC:  Although still massive, THE WALKING DEAD has been consistently falling, down another 0.3 this week to 5.7 (plus another 1.0 from the 11PM re-airing).  It’ll be interesting to see how the fall finale scores on Sunday (last year’s had a 5.4, even with the week that preceded it).  TALKING DEAD was also down, […]
