Fox’s The Resident made its regular time slot debut on Monday night with 4.7 million total viewers and a 1.0 rating — on par in the demo with predecessor The Gifted‘s freshman average (3.3 mil/1.0).
The Resident expectedly dropped — 46 and 62 percent — from Sunday night’s special post-NFC Championship showcase, which is akin to the slide CBS’ Hunted suffered last year in the same situation but marks a steeper decliner than Fox’s own The X-Files experienced two years ago (down 40 and 48 percent).
