Monday night was the official start to the 2018-19 TV season, and NBC emerged victorious with “The Voice” and its series debut of “Manifest.” CBS finished primetime as the ratings runner-up, despite “The Big Bang Theory” dropping hard from last season’s huge premiere, which was boosted by a Sheldon and Amy wedding-proposal cliffhanger.
As you might expect, broadcast primetime was filled was season and series premieres. For CBS, the “Magnum P.I.” reboot debuted between the new season premieres for “Young Sheldon” and “Bull.” For ABC, it was “Dancing With the Stars” and “The Good Doctor” kicking off their new runs.
