Final Broadcast Ratings: September 24, 2018

NBC takes the first night of the 2018-19 season, with a strong showing by the season premiere of THE VOICE and an impressive first episode by MANIFEST.

CBS wins the 8 PM hour, but a 40% drop by THE BIG BANG THEORY and YOUNG SHELDON will have CBS concerned.

FOX tops ABC, head-to-head, and THE GOOD DOCTOR sees large losses from last year's series premiere of the medical drama.
