· Overall, ABC claimed six of the Top 15 spots among Adults 18-49 in cross-platform broadcast series rankings including "High Potential" (No. 1 - 2.33 rating), "Abbott Elementary" (No. 2 - 2.15 rating) and "9-1-1" (No. 3 - 1.85 rating), along with "Grey's Anatomy" (No. 6 - 1.34 rating), "Doctor Odyssey" (No. 13 - 1.13 rating) and "Dancing with the Stars" (No. 15 - 1.05 rating).
