Wednesday 5/05/21 Preliminary Ratings

Total Viewers:
NBC: 6.44 million, CBS: 3.44, Fox: 3.36, ABC: 2.12, CW: 726,000

Adults 18-49:
NBC: 0.9 rating/6 share, Fox: 0.8/ 5, ABC and CBS: 0.4/ 3, CW: 0.1/ 1

In season premiere news, “Kids Say the Darndest Things” opened on CBS with a modest 3.56 million viewers (#2) and a 0.3 rating/3 share in adults 18-49 (#4). That led into typically lackluster deliveries for dramas “SEAL Team” (Viewers: #2, 3.66 million; A18-49: #3, 0.4/ 3) and the already renewed “S.W.A.T.” (Viewers: #2, 3.09 million; A18-49: #2, 0.4/ 3) from 9-11 p.m. ET. Chances of “SEAL Team” returning nest season are 50/50 at best.

Tops for the night, as always, was NBC’s “Chicago” trio: “Chicago Med” (Viewers: 6.82 million; A18-49: 0.8/ 6 at 8 p.m.), “Chicago Fire” (Viewers: 6.95 million; A18-49: 0.9/ 6 at 9 p.m.) and “Chicago PD” (Viewers: 5.56 million; A18-49: 0.9/ 6 at 10 p.m.). All three series won their time periods.

Elsewhere, Fox’s “Game of Talents” (#3, 2.33 million; A18-49: #2, 0.5/ 4 at 9 p.m.) continues to lose about half the audience from lead-in “The Masked Singer” (Viewers: #2, 4.40 million; A18-49: #1 for the night: 1.0/ 7). The CW featured its reboot of “Kung Fu” (Viewers: #5, 970,000; A18-49: #5, 0.1/ 1) and “Nancy Drew” (Viewers: #5, 483,000; A18-49: #5, 0.1/ 0) from 8-10 p.m. And ABC had a particularly anemic showing for Tuesday 8-9 p.m. sitcoms “The Goldbergs” (Viewers: #4, 2.79 million; A18-49: #3, 0.5/ 4) and recently introduced “Home Economics” (Viewers: #4, 2.17 million; A18-49: #3, 0.4/ 3) and 10 p.m. drama “A Million Little Things” (Viewers: #3, 2.04 million; A18-49: #3, 0.3/ 2). “The Conners” (two episodes last night) was in repeats.
