Summer Broadcast Renew/Cancel Week 6: Gordon Ramsay Is Cooking Up Something Good with MasterChef and Secret Service

This week on the Summer Renew/Cancel, Fox's favorite chef takes center stage, as I provide an update on how two of his summer series have held up after their premiere, and change my predictions for at least one of them.

Wednesday TV Ratings 6/25/25: NBA Draft Slides Over 20% from 2024, Raid the Cage Jumps for Finale, MasterChef Declines [+ Analysis]

Ratings Analysis: The NBA Draft (0.37) was down markedly from 2024's showing (0.53) in the Adults 18-49 demographic, but it was enough to put ABC above the other broadcast networks. On CBS, Raid the Cage (0.22, +0.04) enjoyed a nice bump on finale night, pulling ahead of the Hollywood Squares rerun (0.21) that aired before it. At ten, a repeat of The Equalizer (0.12) was a full tenth below Cage, but it was relatively on par with NBC's encores of Chicago Med (0.12), Fire (0.13), and PD (0.12). On Fox, MasterChef (0.22, -0.06) dealt with a sharp decline, but Secret Service (0.21, -0.01) only dipped slightly. Sullivan's Crossing (0.03, 0.00) tied its previous installment on the CW, but Children Ruin Everything (0.01/0.01) was a notch below last week at nine. Key: (R) = repeat. (F) = finale. 

Wednesday TV Ratings 6/18/25: Karen Read-Centric 20/20 Leads Broadcast, MasterChef Jumps to Season High, Children Ruin Everything Returns to New Lows [+ Analysis]

Ratings Analysis: An episode of 20/20 centered on Karen Read (0.30) was the highest-rated broadcast program on Wednesday night, and ABC also topped the 10 p.m. hour with a rerun of Shark Tank (0.19). On CBS, Raid the Cage (0.18, +0.01) was up a bit from last week. NBC aired more repeats of Chicago Med (0.19), Fire (0.16), and PD (0.18). MasterChef (0.28, +0.08) soared on Fox, and Gordon Ramsay's Secret Service (0.22, +0.03) also rose. Sullivan's Crossing (0.03, 0.00) held steady on the CW, but the return of Children Ruin Everything (0.02/0.01) did not impress. Key: (R) = repeat.

Summer Broadcast Renew/Cancel Week 4: The 1% Club Won’t Get Kicked Out of Fox’s Club

Fox rolled out a new Tuesday lineup last week to mixed results, and it's time to take a closer look at both shows on this week's edition of the Summer Renew/Cancel!

Wednesday TV Ratings 6/11/25: NBA Finals Rise in Game 3, Sherlock & Daughter Hits New Low for Finale, MasterChef and Secret Service Decline [+ Analysis]

Ratings Analysis: In game three, the NBA Finals (2.60, +0.12) gained some momentum, narrowly eclipsing game one (2.59) in the key demographic on ABC. On Fox, MasterChef (0.20, -0.05) and Secret Service (0.19, -0.04) dealt with some noticeable declines. On the CW, Sherlock & Daughter (0.02, -0.01) was down for its finale. Sullivan's Crossing (0.03, -0.02) also slipped at eight. Raid the Cage (0.17, 0.00) matched last week's rating on CBS. NBC went with more encores of Chicago Med (0.20), Fire (0.18), and PD (0.17). Key: (R) = repeat. (F) = finale.
