At 10pm, the series debut of ABC's The Good Doctor delivered the biggest L+3 increase in Total Viewers (+5.5 million) for any new series debut on any network in 3 years - since the launch of ABC's How To Get Away with Murder (+5.9 million on 9/25/14).

With increases of +5.5 million viewers and +1.5 rating points in Adults 18-49, The Good Doctor was Monday's #1 gainer in L+3 playback, topping the gains of CBS' Young Sheldon debut (+4.3 million and +1.4 rating points) and The Big Bang Theory premiere (+4.4 million and +1.4 rating points).

After 3 days of TV playback, ABC's new drama grew to 16.9 million Total Viewers (from 11.4 million in L+SD) and a 3.7 rating with Adults 18-49 (from a 2.2 in L+SD).
