Nobody needs to call 9-1-1 for Fox’s Rob Lowe-starring “9-1-1” spinoff, “9-1-1: Lone Star.” Though the drama couldn’t keep up with ABC’s “The Bachelor” and NBC’s “America’s Got Talent: The Champions,” it did fine in its time slot premiere.
Plus, those two reality competitions are perennial all-stars. Very few shows could challenge them in Nielsen numbers.
ABC was first in ratings with a 1.5 rating/7 share in the advertiser-coveted 18-49 demographic and second in total viewers with an average of 5.95 million, according to preliminary numbers. “The Bachelor” from 8 p.m. to 10 p.m. averaged a 1.9 rating/9 and 6.2 million viewers.
