Monday nights belong to FOX.
The tsumani on 9-1-1 may be devasting to fictional Santa Monica, but it's a boon for FOX.
9-1-1 Season 3 Episode 2 Review: Sink or Swim
The third-year adventure drama scored its most-watched non-post-NFL episode ever with 7.21 million viewers and a 1.6 in the demo.
That helped propel freshman Prodigal Son to 4.12 million viewers from 4.05, steady with a 1.0 rating.

Prodigal Son also gained a half a point by delayed viewing after its premiere, so the same should follow again this week.
On CBS, Bob Hearts Abishola was down -10% in viewers to 5.5 million with a 0.7 rating, -0.2 from its premiere.
All Rise tumbled a bit, too, to a 0.6 rating and 5.6 million viewers, a -7% drop in viewership from the premiere.

Bluff City Law held steady from its premiere with a 0.8 demo rating and 4.7 million viewers, up just a notch from the previous week.
Their preliminary numbers, though, include a minute overrun from The Voice which fell a tenth to 1.6 and dropped -2% in viewers week to week to 8.8 million.

Over at ABC, Dancing With the Stars gained +8% in total viewers and +13% in Adults 18-49 giving it a 0.9 rating for the night.
The Good Doctor is even in the demo at 1.0 and up +2% to 6.5 million viewers.
These numbers also include preemptions in two markets.
