OK TV lovers, there's bad news and good news when it comes to Fall 2015 TV ratings. Let's go with the bad news first: Overall, ratings for lots of shows are down. But with more and more people watching TV online, that's to be expected.

The good news? Lots of people are still watching television in general, just in a slightly different way. So while ratings are down for many shows overnight, they increase a ton when you take DVR viewing into account. And for TV's biggest series—The Walking Dead, Empire—the initial numbers are low, but they're still as huge as ever. Confused? Don't worry, we'll explain. And while it seems like many of the new shows are struggling, with episode orders being trimmed left and right, there are a few that are becoming major players in the ratings game.

So, want to know what's doing well and what's faltering? Check out the gallery below to find out which shows have gotten ratings bumps and which have seen ratings falls this season.
