Street Legal‘s six-episode season finale drew an overnight, estimated 254,000 Monday night. CBC had already confirmed that this would also be the series finale, and the bad news no doubt contributed to this being the series’ second-lowest audience estimate. It went out with a bang, creatively, with Jean Yoon from Kim’s Convenience guesting along with more from both Eric Peterson and Allan Hawco.
The six episode season average, in overnights, was 293,500 viewers.
Other Monday night numbers: the highest-rated entertainment show of the night was Canadian made: Masterchef Canada, cooking up an estimated 837,000 overnight viewers over its two-hour season debut. CTV followed with The Fix (733,000).
Global had low scores with reruns until NCIS New Orleans drew 751,000 at 10 p.m. CTV Two heard from 464,000 with a two-hour The Voice. Citytv’s new original doggie drama Hudson & Rex fetched a typical 240,000 followed by The Murders at 158,000. Back over at CBC, and leading into Street Legal, a rerun of Murdoch Mysteries played to 296,000.
A quiet night led to lower than average news numbers: The CTV National News drew 955,000 in overnight estimates. CBC’s The National did 414,000 and 369,000 over each half hour. An estimated 360,000 watched Global News at 11. CityNews Tonight informed 62,000.
How did the late night talk shows rank? Things played out in the usual order. Canadian’s generally prefer The Daily Show with Trevor Noah, which did 358,000 on CTV on Monday in estimates. James Corden followed on CTV with 152,000. Next was Global’s simulcast of Colbert which drew 232,000 at 11:35 pm. Fallon (92,000) and, later, Meyers (60,000) sit well back on CTV Two.
