Monday TV Ratings: The Voice and The Good Doctor Tie in Adults 18-49

On Monday night, NBC’s singing competition The Voice and ABC’s 10 p.m. drama The Good Doctor finished the evening tied in the key adults 18-49 demographic with a 1.9 rating. While both programs reported identical fast-nationals numbers in that demo, night-to-night adjustments typically favor The Voice: in previous weeks the NBC series has climbed in the final national ratings after the initial fast numbers were posted. Conversely, The Good Doctor may see a downward adjustment later today because several local ABC affiliates pre-empted the telecast for Monday Night Football coverage, which affects the preliminary overnight figures.

These numbers reflect audience share and viewership trends that networks and advertisers watch closely, particularly the adults 18-49 Nielsen demo. A tied 1.9 demonstrates strong competition between a long-running reality franchise and a freshman scripted drama, underscoring how both formats continue to attract valuable viewers on a busy broadcast night.

Overall, Dancing With the Stars on ABC posted a 1.5 in the adults 18-49 demo in the fast nationals. Based on historical adjustments, that figure will likely be revised slightly downward in the final ratings. The Voice’s fast national number held steady compared to last week’s preliminary result, mirroring the pattern where live-vote and finale-related viewing can push final numbers higher.

Below are the fast-national ratings for Monday’s schedule, with the key adults 18-49 rating followed by the share and total viewers (in millions) where available. These figures are the early, fast-national results and may be updated in the final national ratings later in the day:

Context and notes: these fast-national ratings give an early snapshot of Monday’s broadcast landscape. Finalized numbers may shift slightly after local station reports are tallied and adjustments are applied. In particular, shows that air live or have significant delayed viewing patterns—like The Voice and other reality competitions—often show an increase once final nationals are posted. Local pre-emptions for sports, such as Monday Night Football, can reduce the overnight totals for scheduled programs on the affected affiliates, which is why The Good Doctor’s figure is being watched for a possible downward revision.

For networks and advertisers, the adults 18-49 demo remains the primary benchmark for evaluating performance. A tie at 1.9 between a high-profile reality program and a network drama highlights the continuing importance of both established franchises and emerging series in attracting advertiser-desired viewers.
