The series premiere of GOOD GIRLS was fairly weak, losing over half of the total audience form its lead in, THE VOICE, and retained just 54% of the A18-49 demographic.

ABC was second on the night, with THE BACHELOR's 1.8 rating in Adults 18-49 and the night's best 1.7 rating in Adults 18-34. THE GOOD DOCTOR was off average, collecting just 7.8 million viewers.

CBS was a weak third, topping FOX in three of the four categories. The network was 4th in the younger, A18-34 demo, topping The CW by just a tenth of a point. New sitcom, LIVING BIBLICALLY, had good retention out of SUPERIOR DONUTS, but the bar was nost set high for the freshman comedy.

FOX, didn't do much on Monday night, placing 4th on the night.
