Monday Ratings: ‘Dynasty’ on CW Reaches 20-Month High with 5th Season Premiere on CW

Monday, December 20, 2021
Final National Ratings

A combined 15.84 million viewers tuned in to Monday night NFL contest between the Minnesota Vikings and the Chicago Bears, simulcast on ABC and ESPN. Both outlets benefited on the night for Minnesota’s 17-9 victory; ABC led in total viewers while ESPN maintained the Monday demo crown.

While the sampling size remained slim for the return of CW soap “Dynasty”, its new Monday night slot provided a slight lift for the show. The fifth season premiere telecast delivered the series’ most-watched episode (according to live plus same day figures) since a third-season episode from Apr. 10, 2020.

Fox aired original programming in the form of its holiday special “The Secrets of Christmas: Revealed”. Yet, the network’s key figures still could not top both all-rerun filled CBS and NBC.
