Wednesday TV Ratings 4/20/22: The Masked Singer Sets New Series Low, Chicago Med and Chicago Fire Dip, Rising Survivor Leads (UPDATED)

Ratings Analysis: A controversial appearance from former mayor Rudy Giuliani did nothing to help boost Fox's 'The Masked Singer' (0.63, -0.03). The reality series set a new series low and remained in third place in the 8PM hour. 'Domino Masters' (0.33, +0.02) picked up two-hundredths at 9.

The CW's Freddie Mercury special (0.11) was a modest performer by the network's standards. 

Finals Update: 'Survivor' (+0.1), 'Chicago Fire' (+0.1), and the repeat of 'The Conners' (+0.1) adjusted up.

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. 

Finals Update: 'Survivor' (+0.1), 'The Masked Singer' (+0.1), 'Chicago Med' (+0.1), and 'The Kardashians' (+0.1) adjusted up.
