These are the CBS Weekly Plus Power Rankings for 2015-16, lining up all the network's shows based on their full season-to-date Live+SD adults 18-49 ratings averages (A18-49). These averages are also converted to A18-49+, a number that can be compared more fairly with ratings in past seasons.
Also included in these rankings are projections of what the A18-49 average (Proj Avg) and what the A18-49+ (Proj +) will be at the end of the season. Here's much more detail on how these projections have changed from last season. The very quick summary is that most returning show projected averages are based on carrying recent year-to-year trends out to the rest of the season. Projections in italics (for new shows and a very select few returnees) are based on historical data about how much new shows tend to drop post-premiere.
These rankings cover numbers through Wednesday, May 25.
