“

Today, Sunday is handily the most-watched night of the week, with an average of 124.2 million viewers using their televisions during prime time, according to Nielsen. That figure gradually declines with each successive night of the week, bottoming out on Friday and Saturday before rebounding again on Sunday.

Of course, in the digital era, not every show that is aired on Sunday night is watched in real time. According to data from TiVo, five of the 15 most time-shifted shows of the week are on Sunday nights; for series like “Mad Men,” “Girls” and “Nurse Jackie,” as much as 90 percent of their viewership occurs in a time-shifted mode.
