With 10.5 million total viewers tuning in to its debut “live,” ABC’s “Roseanne” spinoff series “The Conners” became the No. 1 new show of the Fall 2018-19 TV season — but just barely.
NBC’s “Lost”-like vehicle “Manifest” is now second, having averaged 10.4 million overall viewers on its own premiere night. CBS’ “God Friended Me” had initially topped that total, though the NFL football-boosted drama adjusted down in final numbers.
