Fox’s “9-1-1” hit a new low in TV ratings among adults 18-49 last night, according to Nielsen’s earliest-available numbers. Monday’s episode actually added total viewers from the prior week, however.
ABC’s “Dancing With the Stars” picked its Season 30 finalists last night, but NBC’s “The Voice” ruled primetime. ESPN’s “Monday Night Football” game aired on local ABC affiliates in Los Angeles and San Francisco, which makes ABC’s initial Nielsen numbers subject to change. CBS aired all reruns last night.
NBC was first in ratings with a 0.6 rating in the advertiser-coveted 18-49 demographic and in total viewers with an average of 5 million, according to preliminary numbers. “The Voice” from 8 p.m. to 10 p.m. averaged a 0.8 rating and 6.4 million total viewers. “Ordinary Joe” at 10 had a 0.3 rating and 2.1 million total viewers.
ABC was second in ratings with a 0.5 and in total viewers with 4.3 million. “DWTS” from 8 to 10 averaged a 0.6 rating and 4.6 million total viewers. At 10, “The Good Doctor” got a 0.4 rating and 3.7 million total viewers.

On last night’s “9-1-1,” Bobby (Peter Krause) and the 118 raced to save lives after an explosion rocked the hospital where Dr. David Hale (guest star La Monde Byrd) was performing surgery. Meanwhile, Michael (Rockmond Dunbar) made a life-changing decision.
CBS was fourth in ratings with a 0.3 and third in total viewers with 3.4 million. The repeats were “The Neighborhood,” “Bob Hearts Abishola,” “NCIS” and “NCIS: Hawai’i.”
