Though its numbers were down a bit, “The Walking Dead” was far and away the No. 1 show on cable for the week of Feb. 8-14. The series returned to AMC with a 6.8 rating in adults 18-49 and 13.74 million viewers.
“Talking Dead” (3.1, 6.44 million) finished second for the week in both measures. The NBA All-Star Game and “All-Star Saturday Night” on TNT were third and fourth, and “Walking Dead” rerun preceding the midseason premiere rounded out the Top 5.
Episode 2 of “The People v. O.J. Simpson” drew a 1.5 in the demo, down from 2.0 for the premiere, but remained in the Top 10.
