Wednesday TV Ratings 7/5/23: Mission: Impossible Special OK, LA Fire & Rescue Drops Again, The Wonder Years Ticks Up (UPDATED)

Ratings Analysis: Though 'Judge Steve Harvey' (0.27, 0.00) held even with last week, 'The Wonder Years' (0.23, +0.02) grew by two-hundredths on ABC. But, despite its best efforts, the sophomore sitcom was beaten head-on by a rerun of 'Young Sheldon' (0.27). 'Sheldon' had ample lead-in support from a strong repeat of 'The Price Is Right At Night' (0.42) and led into a middling 'Mission: Impossible' special (0.22). A rerun of 'CSI: Vegas' (0.16) closed out CBS's night but lost out to ABC's encore of 'The $100,000 Pyramid' (0.20). The 'Pyramid' encore built significantly on the rerun of 'Abbott Elementary' (0.15) that led into it. On NBC, 'LA Fire & Rescue' (0.23, -0.02) slipped some more and was followed by repeats of 'Chicago Fire' (0.15) and 'Chicago PD' (0.21). 'MasterChef' (0.22) and 'Gordon Ramsay's Food Stars' (0.18) were both in repeat-mode on Fox. 'Nancy Drew' (0.06, +0.03) and 'Riverdale' (0.06, +0.03) bounced back on the CW.

Finals Update: 'Judge Steve Harvey' (+0.1) and the repeat of 'Young Sheldon' (+0.1) adjusted up.
