The CW’s “DC’s Legends of Tomorrow” season 3 finale didn’t do too shabby in its 8 p.m. time slot Monday night. The superhero drama saw a slight rise in viewers over last week and hitting its most-watched episode since its return from winter hiatus back in February, according to preliminary data from Nielsen.

However, getting stuck at its steady 0.4 rating in the key 18-49 adult demographic didn’t help the younger-skewing network climb in the ranks for the evening, as it landed in its usual last place in primetime.

Turning to the victor, NBC took first in both the key demo and total viewers, with “The Voice” hanging tough against ABC’s “American Idol” from 8-10 p.m. for the fifth straight week since the revival’s debut last month. However, “Idol” did inch up 6 percent in total viewers and 7 percent in the demo over its previous installment.

Oh, and the Peacock’s “Good Girls” winning top-scripted show of the night in the 18-49 range gave the broadcaster an even bigger boost.

NBC was first in ratings with a 1.6 rating/6 share in the advertiser-coveted 18-49 demographic and in total viewers with an average of 8 million, according to preliminary numbers. From 8-10 p.m., “The Voice” scored a 1.9/7 and 9.8 million viewers. “Good Girls” at 10 earned a 1.0/4 and 4.5 million viewers.

ABC was second in ratings with a 1.3/5 and in viewers with 6.6 million. From 8-10, “American Idol” put up a 1.5/6 and 7.6 million viewers. At 10, “The Crossing” had a 0.8/3 and 4.5 million viewers.

CBS was third in ratings with a 0.8/3 and in viewers with 5.2 million. At 8, “Kevin Can Wait” posted a 0.9/4 and 5.8 million viewers. “Man With a Plan” at 8:30 landed a 0.9/4 and 5.5 million viewers. At 9, “Superior Donuts” took a 0.8/3 and 4.9 million viewers. At 9:30, “Living Biblically” managed a 0.6/2 and 3.9 million viewers. “Scorpion” at 10 settled for a 0.7/3 and 5.4 million viewers.

Univision and Telemundo tied for fourth in ratings with a 0.5/2.

Univision was fifth in viewers with 1.5 million.

Telemundo was sixth in viewers with 1.2 million.

Fox was sixth in ratings with a 0.4/1 and fourth in viewers with 1.7 million, filling its primetime block with reruns.

The CW was seventh in ratings with a 0.3/1 and in viewers with 1.1 million. At 8, “D.C.’s Legends of Tomorrow” saw a 0.4/2 and 1.4 million viewers. “iZombie” at 9 managed at 0.2/1 and 799,000 viewers.
