The 2017-18 television season is in the books, and as usual, some shows performed better than others. Like, much better.
Broadcast's top entertainment series this time around was "This Is Us," though runner-up (per Nielsen's "most current" ratings data set, which includes 7 days of delayed viewing where available) "Roseanne" could have something to say about that when DVR catch-up for its season -- err, now series -- finale is tallied.
See how the Top 11 broadcast TV shows rank by their ratings below. For purposes of this story, we elected not to count NFL football, which would have gobbled up six spots. You get it.
