Schedules Plus Enhanced: ABC Monday

Schedules Plus is the ultimate almanac to broadcast network primetime scheduling since 2001. It features lineups for three different parts of the year, as well as A18-49+ ratings that more fairly account for historical decline. For more on the tables and charts in Schedules Plus, see this primer.

This post covers ABC Monday. The network once aired Monday Night Football here in the fall, then a lot of filler to get through the rest of the season. But the network got its act together quite well on the night after losing MNF, thanks to reality staples Dancing with the Stars and The Bachelor plus procedural Castle at 10/9c followed by strong medical drama The Good Doctor. See the 2023-24 Breakdown.
