Oh, and:

My belief is that this show is not a horrow show, it is actually a western.

Brilliant observation.

Actually almost all the shows are just variations of Gun Smoke. In fact Star Trek used most of the same characters.

How about this for a season, or to end the show. Rick's tribe becomes successful. Others are too. But gradually they encounter French Canadians, who have largely survived intact as their zombies froze in winter and were easily dispatched. Hundreds of thousands or a million survived. Eastern Canada has a lot of hydropower so they have electricity and technology. They see the rest of the continent as being open for colonization. So gradually they come south, taking up land and building cities. But they don't rescue groups like Rick's tribe. They consider them feral and not worth rescuing.

So the situation is like the colonial times, with Rick's tribe a small band being squeezed out like the indians were. Should they fight the Canadians? Go out in a blaze of glory? Dwindle away and be forgotten? Try to learn French and be accepted?
