NBC
NBC’s “Taken” adaptation snatched the most eyeballs for any new drama debut since early October.
Of course, the small-screen version of the Liam Neeson thriller premiered immediately after “The Voice” kicked off its new season, which would prove a boon to even the lamest of shows. That said, “When We Rise” opened after a strong showing from “The Bachelor,” but the new ABC miniseries got off to a weak start on Monday.
With its own combination — and a “Big Bang Theory” repeat on CBS — NBC easily won primetime in both the key 18-49 demographic and among total viewers.
