The Big Bang gang kept the ratings coming for its second week of broadcast. Following the successful return of The Big Bang Theory on CTV in the last week of September, the sitcom took the top spot Canada-wide for the week of Oct. 2 to Oct. 8 among single-night broadcasts, according to Numeris.

It likewise carried the highest average-minute audience (2+) in Calgary, as well as for Montreal’s anglophone viewers. In other Anglophone markets, it was Hockey Night in Canada that took the lead, which hit a four-year high in ratings for its season premiere.

While Numeris’s previous report (Sept. 25 to Oct. 1) saw Big Bang‘s prequel, Young Sheldon, following close on predecessor‘s heels in the ratings, Young Sheldon did not air a new episode in this measured period (and will return to the airwaves Nov. 2). The Good Doctor found itself number-two nationally and among the top five in several local markets, giving CTV a few one-two punches across the board.

The last week of September also saw several season premiers – NCIS, Bull and Grey’s Anatomy – fail to crack the national top five. However, NCIS ranked fourth nationally last week with 1.95 million viewers with Bull close behind at 1.91 million. Survivor sneaked in above them both at 2.04 million.

In the Francophone market, TVA’s reality competition series La voix junior continued to lead the pack for the third straight week.
