Preliminary Analysis: Season five of 'American Housewife' wrapped up with a measly 0.4 rating, down two-tenths from its 2020 finale (0.6) and a tenth behind last week. Barring an adjustment, this would mark a new series low for the Katy Mixon sitcom. 'Housewife' wasn't too far away from the shows surrounding it as 'The Goldbergs' (0.5) and 'The Conners' (0.5) shed a tenth alongside it. 'Call Your Mother' (0.3) held even amidst the declines, but the finale of 'The Con' (0.2) ticked down at 10. In sharp contrast to ABC, NBC was steady across the board with 'Chicago Med' (0.8), 'Chicago Fire' (0.9), and 'Chicago PD' (0.9). Fox's 'The Masked Singer' (1.1) lost a tenth while 'Game of Talents' (0.6) inched down after three 0.7 ratings in a row. On CBS, a stable 'Tough as Nails' (0.4) led into encores of 'SEAL Team' (0.3) and 'SWAT' (0.3). 'Riverdale' (0.1) and 'Nancy Drew' (0.0) slipped on the CW, with 'Drew' posting its first 0.0 rating.
Finals Update: 'The Masked Singer' (1.2, +0.1), 'Chicago Fire' (1.0, +0.1), 'Chicago PD' (1.0, +0.1), 'Chicago Med' (0.9, +0.1), 'The Goldbergs' (0.6, +0.1), the 'American Housewife' finale (0.5, +0.1), 'The Con' finale (0.3, +0.1), and 'Nancy Drew' (0.1, +0.1) all adjusted up.
