It was time to light the lights on Wednesday night as The Muppet Show (0.52) returned for a new installment for the first time in decades. The ABC showing of the special was the highest-rated broadcast of the evening in the Adults 18-49 demographic, rising by a tenth from an already strong Abbott Elementary (0.42, +0.02). Earlier in the night, Shifting Gears (0.39, +0.03) enjoyed a nice finale uptick. On CBS, The Price Is Right At Night (0.39, +0.08) surged, but Hollywood Squares (0.20, -0.07) plummeted. Chicago Med (0.36, +0.05), Chicago Fire (0.34, +0.09), and Chicago PD (0.28, +0.06) all soared on NBC. Fox's The Masked Singer (0.20, -0.14) and Fear Factor: House of Fear (0.19, -0.07) were pushed to later slots and collapsed as a result. Police 24/7 (0.04, 0.00) was stable on the CW. Key: (R) = repeat. (F) = finale.
