TV Ratings 3/22/17: Shots Fired Has Okay Start for Fox, Empire Returns Slightly Up (UPDATED)

Wednesday was an off night for ABC comedies, but all of the other networks had original programming, with some shows returning from hiatus. Fox's lineup was a mixed bag, with Empire returning very strong to a 2.8, but Shots Fired starting with a 1.1, down two tenths from the Lethal Weapon finale. CBS' Criminal Minds: Beyond Borders fell a tenth to a new low, while the rest of the lineup was steady. Designated Survivor aired an episode without the comedies and was down two tenths to tie a series low. NBC's lineup returned weak, with SVU down two tenths and Chicago PD down seven from its crossover-boosted latest airing. Blindspot was up to a 0.9, though it is in danger with 0.9/0.8 half hours. The CW stayed steady at last week's lows.

Finals Update: Law & Order: SVU (+0.1) adjusted up.
