No surprises: The Big Bang Theory came back as the number-one show in Canada, with 3.21 million average viewers. After two weeks away, the CTV comedy proved that when Big Bang is on air, it’s on top.

It was followed by rookie CTV series The Rookie, which took an average of 1.96 million viewers. Close behind was Global’s 9-1-1, followed by Survivor and New Amsterdam.

While Big Bang managed to snag almost every Anglophone market, Edmonton was instead tuned into CTV’s coverage of the provincial election. Calgary also posted high numbers for the coverage as well, but the special came in third for the week with 96,000 views (Global’s coverage was close behind).

Francophone viewers flocked to La voix once again, with the competition show bringing in 1.75 million viewers.
