The War of 18-49, Week 1 Battlegrounds

At some point in the process of making The War of 18-49, I realized that the 48 posts that will make up this series are, in war terms, biographies of the combatants. When you read them individually, you get a sense of what they accomplished, but what does any of that mean in the grander scheme of the "war"?  So I've decided that on Saturday, my off day, I will throw all the shows I've done in the previous week onto a massive list to compare them all against each other within each season.  You still don't get a great sense of just how well these shows were doing, since plenty of other shows won't be included each year, but I think it'll help a bit with context, and more will fill in as this project progresses. These are the season low/season average/season high lists that I've been doing for each season of each show on the individual posts, and they're ranked on the averages.
