NBCs time-travel dramaTimelessgot off to a fair start Monday night in the ratings, while ABCs new dramaConvictionwas sentenced to pretty weak numbers.
Timelesswas given a hefty lead-in fromThe Voiceand delivered 7.7 million viewers and a 1.9 rating among adults 18-49 at 10 p.m. That was enough to win the hour but 39 percent below whatBlindspotopened to in this period last year.
In the same hour, ABC launched its new legal dramaConvictionstarring Hayley Atwell to only 5.4 million viewers and a 1.0 rating in the demo.
