Ratings: ABC’s ‘The Good Doctor’ Grows Viewership in Freshman Season Finale
“The Good Doctor” just finished its first season as ABC’s most-watched freshman drama in 13 years. And although its overall audience tally grew week to week, the Freddie Highmore series couldn’t carry its home network above NBC’s Monday primetime averages.
