Ratings: ABC Sinks to the Bottom of the Big 4 Nets With ‘Finding Dory’

“The Good Doctor” does better, but not good enough

FINDING DORY – “The Wonderful World of Disney: Finding Dory” – Monday, May 10 (8:00-10:00 p.m. EDT) – When Dory, the forgetful blue tang (Ellen DeGeneres), suddenly remembers she has a family who may be looking for her, she, Marlin (Albert Brooks) and Nemo (Hayden Rolence) take off on a life-changing quest to find them … with help from Hank, a cantankerous octopus; Bailey, a beluga whale who’s convinced his biological sonar skills are on the fritz; and Destiny, a nearsighted whale shark! (Disney/Pixar) DORY
