That’s big news considering The Big Bang Theory hasn’t been truly challenged in the ratings for years and The Good Doctor’s freshmen season is only getting started.
However, The Big Bang Theory still maintains a higher rating than The Good Doctor.
The third episode of the ABC newcomer officially surpassed the CBS staple The Big Bang Theory as the most-watched show on television on Monday, Oct. 9.
The Oct. 9 episode of Big Bang earned a 4.5 in the coveted 18-49 demographic, just barely beating out The Good Doctor’s 4.2.
