The horror anthology show, now in its seventh season, outpaces The Orville, Fox’s new sci-fi comedy-drama starring series creator Seth MacFarlane, at No. 2.
Fox is joined by ABC with The Good Doctor at No. 4 and NBC with Law & Order True Crime: The Menendez Murders at No. 5 to give broadcast nets the edge this week. But HGTV’s Flip or Flop Atlanta, a familiar presence in our top 5 over the summer, still makes a strong showing at No. 3.
