Time just flies when you have so many versions of NCIS to chose from, doesn’t it?
Another broadcast TV season has come to an end, and as expected, fictitious naval criminal investigators ruled the roost. Here are the top 50 most-watched shows between Sept. 22, 2014 and May 20, 2015. As is always the case, advertisers don’t (usually) pay attention to total viewer counts – but it’s awfully hard to ignore those nearly 15 million fringe lovers who continue to tune into Dancing with the Stars. (Bring up season 21, baby!) Big tent shows like DWTS still help to shore up a schedule.
