In television, the pigskin remains king. NBC’s “NFL Sunday Night Football” averaged around 22 million viewers last fall, making it the most-watched program in all of TV during the just-completed 2015-2016 season.

According to NBC, this was the most-watched season for an NFL primetime package in 19 years, and the highest-rated year ever for “Sunday Night Football.” Meanwhile, in the key adults 18-49 demographic, AMC’s “The Walking Dead” was once again No. 1, averaging a 9.6 rating when seven days’ worth of DVR and VOD usage is included.

CBS stalwarts “The Big Bang Theory” and “NCIS” remain juggernauts, even in their ninth and 13th seasons, respectively, and ended the season as the most-watched comedy and drama on TV. ABC’s “Dancing with the Stars” and the Monday edition of NBC’s “The Voice” tied for largest alternative series audience.

IndieWire combed through the Season-to-Date rankers for broadcast and cable, using the most recent Live+7 ratings (which include seven days’ worth of DVR and video on-demand usage).

Before production on the new season gets underway, here’s a final look at some of the hits and misses of 2015–2016, followed by our complete list of the most-watched shows of the season, according to both adults 18-49 and total viewers.

David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson, “The X-Files”

Fox

WINNERS

“The X-Files”: Critics may not have been thrilled with the return of Mulder and Scully, but fans sure were. The six-episode “X-Files” revisit was the top-rated new show (if you can call it a new show) of the TV season, ranking seventh among adults 18-49. That explains why Fox is still eager to bring the show back for another edition, even if it likely won’t happen until at least the 2017-2018 TV season.

“The Walking Dead” franchise: Those zombies have been very, very good to AMC. “The Walking Dead” is once again the No. 1 show of the year among adults 18-49 (repeating from last year), while companion series “Fear the Walking Dead” clocked in at No. 11. “Fear” is the top-rated new show on cable. Meanwhile, Chris Hardwick’s “Talking Dead” chat show isn’t far behind, tied at No. 20 (and far ahead of most scripted series on TV).

Dick Wolf: In a year where most shows saw viewership erosion, the super producer’s “Chicago” franchise is on fire. Flagship “Chicago Fire” averaged 11.6 million viewers, up from 10.8 million last year; “Chicago PD” posted 10.4 million, up from 10.1 million last year. Newcomer “Chicago Med” (10.7 million) is also in the top 50 most-viewed series, while Wolf’s stalwart “Law & Order: SVU” is also averaging a strong 9.8 million, just a tick down from last year.

Love & Hip Hop: A lot of reality franchises do well, but this VH1 show landed three versions in the top 100 list this year among adults 18-49: “Love & Hip-Hop,” “Love & Hip Hop Atlanta” and “Love & Hip Hop Hollywood.”

Jennifer Carpenter and Jake McDorman, “Limitless”

CBS

LOSERS

“Limitless”: The CBS drama averaged 10.3 million viewers, placing it at No. 34 (tied with “How to Get Away with Murder”) in the total viewers top 50. It also averaged a respectable 2.4 rating among adults 18-49. And yet, the movie adaptation was canceled after just one season. The show was reportedly shopped to streaming services Netflix and Amazon after CBS canceled it, but sister CBS TV Studios couldn’t find another home for it.

New physical endurance reality shows: NBC’s “Strong” (3.1 million) and Fox’s “American Grit” (2.6 million) failed to motivate viewers.

“Heroes Reborn” and “The Muppets”: These reboots were almost as highly anticipated as “The X-Files,” and didn’t perform that bad, once time-shifting is included. But they didn’t perform well enough to justify continuing, given their poor reception with critics and viewers.

“Crazy Ex-Girlfriend”: Hey, this one is tough. We love it too. And it’s been renewed for another season, so don’t sweat it. But the cold, hard truth is The CW’s “Crazy Ex-Girlfriend” was the least-watched broadcast network series of the 2015-2016 TV season, averaging 1 million viewers. (The good news: More of the CW’s young audience probably caught it on another platform.)

Here are the top series rankers according to adults 18-49 and total viewers, featuring seven days of time-shifted viewing [except for the final few weeks of the season, when Live+3 or Live+same day numbers are substituted]. Most recent data is through May 25; these ratings will be updated as new numbers come in.
