Ratings Analysis: CBS's 'Survivor' (0.79, -0.09) suffered a sizable blow for a two-hour episode and was unable to hold the title of "Wednesday's highest-rated broadcast". 'Beyond the Edge' (0.30, -0.04) took a smaller hit at 10 but remained a feeble offering. ABC's 'The Conners' (0.43, -0.05) slid down to a new series low as 'The Goldbergs' (0.46, -0.02) and 'Home Economics' (0.26, -0.06) also slipped.

Wednesday TV Ratings 4/6/22: Kardashians Special Decent on ABC, The Masked Singer and Chicago Med Drop (UPDATED)

Ratings Analysis: The Robin Roberts-hosted 'Kardashians' special (0.46) posted a fairly tepid rating on ABC and was a distant fourth-place in the 8PM timeslot. Given how big the Kardashians are, the alphabet network may not be pleased with the fact that this rating is two-hundredths below the last 'Goldbergs' original (0.48). Despite that, 'The Wonder Years' (0.33, +0.02) actually rose a tiny bit for a special 9PM installment. 'Home Economics' (0.32, -0.05) lost significant ground at 9:30, likely due to having a reduced lead-in, but 'A Million Little Things' (0.28, +0.02) picked up two-hundredths in the 10PM timeslot. On CBS, 'Survivor' (0.88, -0.02) inched down as 'Beyond the Edge' (0.34, -0.01) and 'Good Sam' (0.20, -0.04) dropped to new lows. Fox's 'The Masked Singer' (0.67, -0.14) and 'Domino Masters' (0.31, -0.07) also crashed to new lows, with 'Singer' barely fending off NBC's 'Chicago Med' (0.66, -0.01) in the 8PM hour. The peacock network's other offerings, 'Chicago Fire' (0.81, +0.06) & 'Chicago PD' (0.72, +0.04), were both on the rise. 'The Flash' (0.11, +0.03) rebounded on the CW as 'Kung Fu' (0.07) held flat at its low.

ABC's 20/20 special about the past twenty-four months (0.25) could only tie the 'Home Economics' rerun (0.25) that preceded it and trailed repeats of 'The Goldbergs' (0.32), 'The Wonder Years' (0.28), and 'The Conners' (0.28). NBC's encores of 'Chicago Med' (0.40), 'Chicago Fire' (0.47), and 'Chicago PD' (0.41) handily outperformed the alphabet network's efforts.
