CBS has reached the midseason hiatus point, and the network is now handing out report cards to each of its shows.

Among the best performers on the network for the fall season were The Big Bang Theory and newcomer Young Sheldon, which earned the title of TV's top-rated and most-watched new fall series, TV Line reports. Shemar Moore's move to S.W.A.T. didn't earn him any better ratings, the freshman drama series falling just shy of Criminal Minds. Meanwhile, Wisdom of the Crowd, Scorpion, and MacGyver proved to have disappointing fall seasons.
