CBS Programs L+3 Averages for 2015-16 Season

NCIS may have been the most watched series on CBS this past season, with 19.6 million viewers in L+3 Ratings, but it is THE BIG BANG THEORY that grabs the biggest L+3 Day ratings in total viewership. The comedy adds an additional 4.3 million viewers to its Live+SD total of 15.2 million viewers, after three days. It is not only the largest for the network, but its the largest gains of any broadcast TV series. NCIS ranked third, with 3.0 million for CBS, behind BLUE BLOODS 3.5 million viewers.

THE ODD COUPLE has the distinction of being the least DVRed, by a regular entertainment series, with under 800k on Thursday's episodes and under 700,000 for Mondays. Only THURSDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL, 60 MINUTES and 48 HOURS add less.

THURSDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL is the top performer in the A18-49 demographic, even though it does not add any additional viewers in the demo, for the L+3 ratings. BIG BANG is a close second, adding 1.7 points to its demo rating and is the only CBS program to add more than a full point in the L+3 numbers.
