With the year almost over, it’s time to take stock over what shows brought the most viewers — and which ones didn’t. The No. 1 show shouldn’t surprise you (who can deny the power of Mark Harmon and Michael Weatherly?) but it’s nice to see a newbie in the Top 10 (way to go, James Spader!).

Here are the Top 100 most-watched shows of the fall. (Survey dates are from Sept. 23 to Dec. 15). Remember, Persons 2+ isn’t the coveted advertiser demo, but it sure doesn’t hurt to have a show that millions upon millions like to watch.

Good old POI the 4th biggest drama on TV, you just can't keep it down

Congrats to The Blacklist, great show

The Big Bang Theory seriously needs to start flopping soon though

[Samm]

Where is the walking dead

[Locke.]

Isn't on the list cos it's a cable show (along with GoT, Breaking Bad, etc)

Real housewives of atlanta is probably like 101, so unlucky

[Gstar]

Their X Factor ratings are terrible

Good old Sleepy Hollow at number 31.

It should be higher than some of the dross above it though.

The show has jumped the shark, it's a Soap Opera now.

Have you seen Charlie from Revolution? If you saw her then you would easily change your mind I think.

Younger viewers are the most important, like say for example The Big Bang Theory gets 4 million viewers but a 5.9 demo and NCIS gets 22million viewers but a 2.6 demo, that means that TBBT wins the night even though NCIS got more total viewers.
