ABC can breathe a sigh of relief after the latest TV ratings courtesy of TV Line validate the decision to acquire 9-1-1, one of the most expensive shows to make. The 9-1-1 Season 7 premiere attracted a little over 5 million viewers, a two-and-a-half-year audience high for the show that averaged 4.6 million viewers last season. While it didn’t win the top spot for most viewers, an honor that went to Young Sheldon, it did win in the converted key demo with a 0.61 rating. It was the most-watched program on ABC on Thursday night and the third most-watched overall coming behind comedies Young Sheldon and Ghosts, both from CBS.
