On ABC, The Conners (0.37, +0.01) and Not Dead Yet (0.25, +0.01) ticked up, but Abbott Elementary (0.33, -0.03) slipped to another new low. NBC was up with Chicago Med (0.52, +0.04) and Fire (0.57, +0.06), but PD (0.50, -0.01) inched down. Fox's We Are Family (0.21, 0.00) was steady on finale night but remained modest at best. Wild Cards (0.04, -0.02) and Family Law (0.04, -0.01) dropped some more on the CW.

Wednesday TV Ratings 2/21/24: Dolly Parton’s Pet Gala Flops, Abbott Elementary and The Conners Drop to New Lows, Chicago Fire Rises (Final Ratings w/Analysis)

Ratings Analysis: Though The Price Is Right At Night (0.37, -0.09) was definitely on the softer side, CBS's broadcast of Dolly Parton's Pet Gala (0.18) retained less than half of its demo rating and was one of the weakest offerings of the night. On ABC, The Conners (0.36, -0.03) and Abbott Elementary (0.36, -0.08) crashed to new series lows, while Not Dead Yet (0.24, -0.04) also slipped but remained above its previously-set low. Judge Steve Harvey was frozen at last week's 0.14 rating in the 10 p.m. hour, once again losing to the Celebrity Family Feud repeat (0.18) that led into it. On NBC, Chicago Med (0.48, -0.03) dipped, but Chicago Fire (0.51, +0.04) and Chicago PD (0.51, +0.05) surged. I Can See Your Voice (0.19, -0.03) slipped on Fox, but We Are Family (0.21, +0.03) recovered a bit. Wild Cards (0.06, -0.01) and Family Law (0.05, -0.02) declined on the CW.

Wednesday TV Ratings 2/14/24: The Conners and Abbott Elementary Slip, We Are Family and Judge Steve Harvey Hit New Lows (UPDATED w/Analysis)

Ratings Analysis: There was some noticeable slippage on ABC as The Conners (0.39, -0.02), Not Dead Yet (0.28, -0.04), and Abbott Elementary (0.44, -0.04) all declined from their week-ago premieres. The news was even worse at 10 where Judge Steve Harvey (0.14, -0.06) fell from an already abysmal starting-point, despite the fact that its lead-in was a Harvey-hosted rerun of Celebrity Family Feud (0.25). I Can See Your Voice (0.22, +0.03) improved on Fox, but We Are Family (0.18, -0.07) crashed to a new low after taking a week off. CBS game show The Price Is Right At Night (0.46, -0.03) dipped, but Let's Make a Deal Primetime (0.35, +0.08) surged after sinking last week. Wild Cards (0.07, -0.01) inched down on the CW, while Family Law (0.07, +0.02) grew enough to tie its lead-in. Over on NBC, Chicago Med (0.30), Chicago Fire (0.29), and Chicago PD (0.30) were all in rerun-mode. 

Finals Update: The Price Is Right At Night (+0.1) adjusted up.

Wednesday TV Ratings 1/31/24: We Are Family and I Can See Your Voice Tick Up, One Chicago Lineup Drops, NBA Underwhelming (UPDATED w/Analysis)

Ratings Analysis: Things became a tad more alarming for NBC's lineup in week three as Chicago Med (0.47, -0.09) and Chicago PD (0.46, -0.07) dealt with even steeper declines than they did in week two. Chicago Fire (0.49, -0.07) matched last week's decline, and that was enough for it to pull ahead of its Med lead-in. Since the One Chicago block crumbled, CBS's The Price Is Right At Night (0.50, -0.02) was free to top the night despite dipping slightly. Let's Make a Deal Primetime (0.37, -0.02) and FBI True (0.15, -0.03) also inched down. Amidst all the sinking, Fox game shows I Can See Your Voice (0.25, +0.02) and We Are Family (0.25, +0.03) both built on their week-ago installments. ABC's Suns v. Nets NBA game (0.28) was a tenth lower than last week's Suns v. Mavericks match-up (0.39). Wild Cards (0.05, -0.03) crashed on the CW, but Family Law (0.05, 0.00) held flat. 

Finals Update: Chicago PD (+0.1) and Let's Make a Deal Primetime (+0.1) adjusted up.

Wednesday TV Ratings 1/24/24: One Chicago Lineup Slides in Week Two, We Are Family Also Drops, Wild Cards Doubles (UPDATED w/Analysis)

Ratings Analysis: NBC dramas Chicago Med (0.56, -0.05), Chicago Fire (0.56, -0.07), and Chicago P.D. (0.53, -0.04) all slipped in week two, but the drops were far from alarming as these three remained the top three of the night in the Adults 18-49 demographic. Over on Fox, We Are Family (0.22, -0.07) gave back any boost it might have taken away from its post-NFL showing and fell behind its I Can See Your Voice lead-in (0.23, +0.02). The Price Is Right At Night (0.52, +0.08) surged on CBS, and Let's Make a Deal Primetime (0.39) proved to be a worthy retainer in the 9 p.m. hour, but FBI True (0.18) was still dead weight at 10. ABC's broadcast of the Suns v. Mavericks NBA game (0.39) was more than a tenth lower than last week's game (0.52). Crime drama Wild Cards (0.08, +0.04) doubled last week's premiere rating on the CW, and Family Law (0.05, +0.02) grew along with it. 

Finals Update: NBA: Suns v. Mavericks (+0.1), Let's Make a Deal Primetime (+0.1), Chicago Fire (+0.1), and Chicago Med (+0.1) adjusted up.
