This year, it's projected there will be as many as 450 scripted shows on TV, streaming, or other platforms, the highest number yet. Peak TV has gotten very crowded, which makes it all that much harder for new shows to find an audience.
Business Insider took a look at this fall's crop of new shows and crunched the Nielsen ratings numbers to name the top 10 (actually 11, since there's a tie) new shows on TV.
We ranked the shows by their average rating number for adults under the age of 50. This is the group advertisers most want to reach, so it's important to networks, too.
We've also included the shows' average number of total viewers for comparison.
Here are the highest-rated new shows of the fall:
