In fact, ABC has the #1 broadcast gainer among young adults on Monday with Castle (+82%), the #1 gainer on the major nets on Wednesday with Nashville (+82%) and the #1 broadcast gainer on Sunday with Quantico (+100%).

Among Adults 18-49 in the L+7 ratings, ABC has the top comedies on Tuesday with The Muppets (2.2 rating) and Fresh Off the Boat (2.2) tying for #1, 3 of the Top 4 highest-rated broadcast shows on Wednesday with Modern Family (4.7), The Goldbergs (3.2) and black-ish (3.0), the Top 3 series on Thursday with Scandal (4.1), Grey's Anatomy (3.9) and HTGAWM (3.8), the Top 2 shows on Friday with Shark Tank (2.2) and Last Man Standing (1.9) and the Top 2 broadcast series on Sunday with Quantico (3.0) and Once Upon a Time (2.6).
