Fox’s “X-Files” drew a nice 9.7 million total viewers on Monday night, just under 24 hours from when the reboot debuted to 13.5 million.

Comparing fast national numbers to fast national numbers, that means the “X-Files” lost 3.8 million total viewers night over night. In reality, it likely lost a few million more from Sunday to Monday, if one were to focus on the timezone adjusted data stream from the debut. That said, the weekend’s premiere was heavily boosted — and also delayed — by Fox’s coverage of the NFC Championship Game, so none of these options are exactly apples to apples, situationally.

Still, last night’s total was good enough to provide new series “Lucifer” with a strong lead-in. Fox ended up finishing first in the key 18-49 demographic, though CBS beat it by about a million total viewers on average throughout primetime.
