Zombies, cops and mysterious benevolent predictors of the future are finding success on television this season.
“Unforgettable” and “Person of Interest” on CBS, and “The Walking Dead” on AMC were rewarded on Tuesday with extensions for continued episodes.
The fall’s top freshman drama in total viewers, CBS’ “Unforgettable,” about a police officer (Poppy Montgomery) with a rare mental condition that allows her to remember endless details, has an average weekly audience of 14 million viewers.
“Person of Interest,” the J.J. Abrams drama starring Michael Emerson and Jim Caviezel, follows close behind with nearly 14 million weekly viewers.
Meanwhile, cable’s zombie hit “Walking Dead” was picked up for a third season by AMC. The series’ second-season premiere shattered basic cable ratings records last week, with a total of 7.3 million viewers, including nearly 5 million viewers in the advertisers’ 18-49 demographic.
