Ratings: NBC’s ‘Better Late Than Never’ Beats CBS’ ‘9JKL’ in Battle of Season Finales

Better “Better Late Than Never” than “9JKL.” The NBC travel show’s season finale beat the final 2017-18 episode of CBS’ “9JKL” head-to-head on Monday — though neither network was the primetime winner.

That distinction belonged to ABC, which returned “The Good Doctor” as a strong compliment to “The Bachelor.”

ABC was first in ratings with a 1.7 rating/7 share in the advertiser-coveted 18-49 demographic and in total viewers with an average of 7.7 million, according to preliminary numbers. “The Bachelor” at 8 p.m. posted a 1.8/6 and 6.8 million viewers. At 10, “Good Doctor” landed a 1.7/7 and 9.5 million viewers.
