“The Bachelorette” stole the audience’s heart en route to claiming Monday night’s best ratings and viewership.
The ABC broadcast, which is in its 19th (!) season, delivered major drama among its contestants last night as it scored a 0.7 rating in the highly-coveted 18-49 demographic. The episode was also the most-watched overall primetime offer with 3.3 million total viewers, though ABC was not the most-watched network overall.
That Monday night honor belongs to CBS, which narrowly edged out ABC for the most total average viewers during primetime with 2.85 million. Never underestimate the power of a CBS sitcom and procedural.
