Wednesday 6/23/21 Preliminary Ratings
Total Viewers:
ABC: 2.93 million, CBS: 2.38, Fox: 2.22, NBC: 1.81, CW: 642,000
Adults 18-49:
Fox: 0.5 rating/4 share, ABC: 0.4/ 3, NBC: 0.3/ 2, CBS: 0.2/ 2, CW: 0.1/ 1
In season premiere news, The CW summer drama "In The Dark" was left at the starting gate at just 438,000 viewers(#5) and a 0.1 rating/1 share in adults 18-49 (#5) at 9 p.m. The lead-in, "Kung Fu", averaged 847,000 viewers (#5) with the same performance in the demo. Needless to say, there is never all that much you can say about any show airing on The CW based on these fast affiliate (time period based) ratings from Nielsen.
In season finale news was veteran NBC drama "The Blacklist" with a mere 2.15 million viewers (#2) and a 0.2/ 1 in adults 18-49 at 10 p.m. Needless to say, the ninth season renewal for "The Blacklist" was based more on DVR and streaming interest than traditional ratings from Nielsen.
"The Blacklist" aired out of 2017 movie "The Boss Baby", which was also barely visible at 1.64 million viewers (#4) and a 0.3/ 2 in adults 18-49 in the Wednesday 8-10 p.m. block.
In series finale news was CBS' reboot of "Kids Say the Darndest Things" at 2.98 million viewers (#2) and a 0.3/ 3 in the demo (#3t) at 8 p.m. Two repeat episodes of crime solver "S.W.A.T." immediately followed.
Elsewhere, ABC's Wednesday game show line-up fared as follows:
8 p.m. – "Press Your Luck"
Viewers: 3.04 million (#1); A18-49: 0.4/ 3 (#2)
8 p.m. – "The $100,000 Pyramid"
Viewers: 3.43 million (#1); A18-49: 0.4/ 3 (#1t)
8 p.m. – "Card Sharks"
And Fox capped off the night with "MasterChef" (Viewers: #4, 1.75 million; A18-49: #1 for the night: 0.6/ 5 at 8 p.m.) and recent non-scripted entry "Crime Scene Kitchen" (Viewers: #4, 1.52 million; A18-49: #1t, 0.4/ 3 at 9 p.m.).
