Some shows are Appointment TV — others are not.

TheWrap compiled a list of the 20 most-watched time-shifted series across television. We ranked them by their percentages of growth when going from Nielsen’s Live + Same Day TV Ratings metric to its Live + 7 Day measurement. Only two series — one on cable and one on broadcast — more than doubled their total “live” viewership with delayed tune-in. A few more came close.
Here’s a sample of what we found, posted in ascending order. Scroll through our photo gallery for the whole shebang.
