Best TV Shows of 2025 on ABC, CBS, The CW, Fox and NBC

ABC, CBS, The CW, Fox & NBC

Network television might not get much Emmy love nowadays, but we here at TVLine have never stopped paying attention to what ABC, CBS, Fox, NBC and (what's left of) The CW have to offer.

To that end, we are thrilled to reveal the winners of our inaugural Best in Broadcast Awards, which aim to celebrate the very finest in Comedy, Drama and Reality TV.

Abbott Elementary and Matlock lead the pack with three wins each, followed by Ghosts, Superman & Lois and Will Trent (with two wins each).

Among total wins by network, CBS leads with 11 (including Best New Comedy and Best New Drama), followed by ABC with nine (including Best Returning Comedy and Drama) and NBC with six (including Best Reality TV Judge and Best New Character in a Returning Drama).

The CW and Fox each netted two wins (including Best Performance in a Cancelled Show and Best Couple, Drama).

To be considered, a series had to air during the 2024-25 broadcast season on one of the five aforementioned networks, and adhere to the traditional September-May broadcast cycle. Co-productions (which accounted for all but two of The CW's scripted offerings this year) were not eligible.

Scroll down to review all the winners, then hit the comments and let us know which categories you think we got right (and which shows and actors you believe got snubbed).
