Once both legs are gone, they'll have to rename the show, the Crawling, Creeping Dead.

Once you accept the fact that some sort of virus or radiation or whatever the hell animates the dead, I think you can also accept the fact that the very same virus or radiation or whatever the hell animated the dead can also slow down, or perhaps even at some point, stop the decomposition process so that the animated corpse largely stays together.

Some corpses may rot more than others due to various environmental conditions or as a result of damage done to the body before being turned or the length of time from death to turning, but at some point the decomp stops and the corpses shamble on...
