As the broadcast networks - especially ABC and NBC - struggle to garner any sizable audiences for any of their shows, cable networks are plugging away with hits such as "The Walking Dead" and "Duck Dynasty."

Lifetime's two biggest shows "Army Wives" and "The Client List" debut back to back on the crowded Sunday night slate.

Otherwise, it's a pretty quiet week, save for THREE nights of "American Idol," the incredibly shrinking show.
