CBS Weekly True Power Rankings for 2013-14

These are CBS's Weekly True Power Rankings for 2013-14, lining up all the network's shows based on their recent (last one-third of episodes aired) averages in the timeslot-adjusted metric True. There will be a few editions of these over the course of the season filled with show-by-show analysis, but this post has just the numbers, and it'll get updated every Wednesday/Thursday when the SpotVault updates happen.

This year, I'm adding a couple other numbers that might be of some help: the year-to-year trend and the show's 18-49 skew. The skew does a decent job of projecting how friendly this show's audience will be per 18-49 point to advertisers (higher is better). The y2y/skew numbers are currently for the full season-to-date, not just the numbers counted in the A18-49/True averages, though I may change that later.

These rankings cover numbers through Sunday, May 25.
