Wednesday TV Ratings 1/3/24: Magnum PI Rises for Series Finale, We Are Family Has Solid Start, I Can See Your Voice Returns Higher (UPDATED w/Analysis)

Ratings Analysis: Magnum P.I. (0.30/0.26) climbed higher for its NBC series finale, going a good bit above the 0.21 it posted for its last original. However, these ratings were still quite mediocre, especially since an eight o'clock rerun of Chicago Med (0.25) came within striking distance. On Fox, I Can See Your Voice (0.31) improved on its March 2022 finale (0.28) and led into the series premiere of We Are Family (0.35). Family grew from Voice and was one of the night's top offerings, only bested by ABC's Bulls v. Knicks NBA game (0.39) and CBS's The Price Is Right At Night (0.46, +0.07). Price Is Right was followed by a rising Raid the Cage (0.30, +0.10) and more FBI True (0.20). The CW re-ran Whose Line (0.07/0.07) and Family Law (0.04).

Finals Update: NBA: Bulls v. Knicks (+0.1) and the 10 PM episode of Magnum PI (+0.1) adjusted up.

Wednesday TV Ratings 12/13/23: The Amazing Race Rises for Finale, Celebrity Family Feud Special Solid, Survivor Continues to Easily Lead (UPDATED w/Analysis)

Ratings Analysis: The Amazing Race (0.44, +0.08) soared to a new season high for its CBS finale but still looked rather meek in comparison to its Survivor lead-in (0.84, +0.03). On ABC, Celebrity Family Feud (0.45) was even with its September finale (0.45) and beat all non-Survivor competitors. Celebrity Wheel (0.36, +0.05) and Pyramid (0.27, +0.05) both grew by half of one-tenth. Fox game show Snake Oil (0.24, -0.02) dipped on finale night, even as The Masked Singer (0.39, +0.01) got back a hundredth at 8. Quantum Leap (0.25, -0.01) shed a hundredth on NBC, while Magnum P.I. (0.21, 0.00) tied last week's low. The dynamic was similar on the CW as Sullivan's Crossing (0.03, -0.01) lost a hundredth for its finale, while The Spencer Sisters (0.03, 0.00) held even for its closer

Finals Update: All shows held their preliminary rounded rating.

Wednesday TV Ratings 12/6/23: Republican Debate a Major Success for The CW Despite Ratings Drop, The Masked Singer and Celebrity Wheel of Fortune Hit New Lows, Survivor Easily Leads (UPDATED w/Analysis)

Ratings Analysis: The CW's broadcast of the latest Republican Primary Debate (0.30) was a monstrous success by the network's current standards. The CW struggles to clear the 0.1 threshold in the Adults 18-49 demographic on most nights, so a 0.3 is a major feat for them in 2023. Over on Fox, The Masked Singer (0.38, -0.03) fell to a new series low, but Snake Oil (0.26, +0.07) bounced back rather nicely. Celebrity Jeopardy! (0.37, +0.01) inched up, but Celebrity Wheel of Fortune (0.31, -0.05) and The $100,000 Pyramid (0.22, -0.05) collapsed on ABC. This serves as a new series low for the celebrity version of Wheel. Quantum Leap (0.26, -0.06) and Magnum P.I. (0.21, -0.02) also crumbled on NBC. CBS's Survivor (0.81, +0.01) gained a hundredth, but The Amazing Race (0.36, -0.06) lost six.

Finals Update: The Masked Singer (+0.1) and Celebrity Jeopardy! (+0.1) adjusted up.
