ABC’s “The Crossing” topped its 10 p.m. time slot, which included a rerun from CBS, but NBC and “The Voice” walked away with a primetime win on Monday.
While “The Crossing” was the highest rated and most-watched show across prime’s final hour, the new drama could not keep pace with “The Good Doctor,” which previously aired in its time slot. That’s not unexpected — the Freddie Highmore-starring medical series was a significant hit in its first season.
From 8-10, NBC’s “The Voice” beat ABC’s “American Idol” by an even wider margin than last week.
NBC was first in ratings with a 1.5 rating/6 share in the advertiser-coveted 18-49 demographic and in total viewers with an average of 8 million, according to preliminary numbers. “The Voice” earned a 1.9/7 and 9.9 million viewers. At 10, “Good Girls” got a 0.9/3 and 4.3 million viewers.
ABC was second in ratings with a 1.3/5 and in viewers with 6.5 million. “Idol” put up a 1.4/5 and 7.1 million viewers. At 10, “The Crossing” debuted to a 1.0/4 and 5.4 million viewers.
CBS was third in ratings with a 0.9/3 and in viewers with 5.5 million. Sandwiched between a bunch of repeats, “Living Biblically” at 9:30 received a 0.8/3 and 4.2 million viewers.
Univision was fourth in ratings with a 0.5/2 and fifth in viewers with 1.4 million.
Fox and Telemundo tied for fifth in ratings, both with a 0.4. Telemundo had a 2 share, Fox had a 1. Airing all reruns, Fox was fourth in total viewers with 1.7 million. Telemundo was sixth in viewers with 1.1 million.
The CW was seventh in ratings with a 0.3/1 and in viewers with 1.1 million. “DC’s Legends of Tomorrow” at 8 had a 0.4/2 and 1.3 million viewers. “Penn & Teller: Fool Us” at 9 got a 0.3/1 and 920,000 viewers.
