Mark-Paul Gosselaar’s “The Passage” premiere passed the test last night — not with flying colors, but the series debuted well enough to keep Fox competitive.

Though NBC’s “America’s Got Talent: The Champions” was primetime’s No. 1 show, ABC finished first among adults 18-49 with its combination of “The Bachelor” and “The Good Doctor.”

ABC was first in ratings with a 1.5 rating/6 share in the advertiser-coveted 18-49 demographic but third in total viewers with an average of 5.8 million, according to preliminary numbers. A two-hour “The Bachelor” from 8 to 10 p.m. averaged a 1.6/7 and 5.6 million viewers. “The Good Doctor” at 10 posted a 1.2/6 and 6.2 million viewers.
