Total Viewers:
NBC: 6.48 million, CBS: 2.75, ABC: 2.31, Fox: 1.88, CW: 409,000

Adults 18-49:
NBC: 0.7 rating/6 share, CBS: 0.5/ 4, ABC and CBS: 0.4/ 3 each, CW: 0.1/ 1

Compatibility remained the observation about the NBC “Chicago” trio, which ranked first in both total viewers and adults 18-49 in every half-hour as follows:

NBC/Wednesday
8:00 p.m. “Chicago Med”
Viewers: 6.94 million (#1 for the night); A18-49: 0.8 rating/6 share (#1 for the night)

9:00 p.m. “Chicago Fire”
Viewers: 6.75 million (#1); A18-49: 0.7/ 6 (#1)

10:00 p.m. “Chicago PD”
Viewers: 5.75 million (#1); A18-49: 0.7/ 6 (#1)

In season-finale news was “Celebrity Big Brother” on CBS at an improved 3.42 million viewers and a 0.6/ 5 in adults 18-49 (#2) in the Tuesday 8 p.m. ET hour. As I always say, once any season of “Big Brother” ends it is back into what could be a very cold world given how you acted in the house. If you watched, you know exactly who I am referring to.

Next on the Eye net was “The Amazing Race” (Viewers: #2, 3.18 million; A18-49: #2, 0.5/ 4 at 9 p.m.), which will conclude the season with a two-hour installment next Wednesday. That led into freshman legal drama “Good Sam” at just 1.64 million viewers and a 0.2/ 2 in the demo — third in both categories — at 10 p.m. Chances of a second season for “Good Sam” are nil.

Over at ABC, drama “A Million Little Things” returned from hiatus with a subpar 1.96 million viewers (#2) and a 0.3/ 2 (#2) in adults 18-49 at 10 p.m. As always, the two weakest spots in the alphabet net’s two-hour Wednesday sitcom block are the reboot of “The Wonder Years” and sophomore “Home Economics.” Take a look:

ABC/Wednesday
8:00 p.m. “The Goldbergs”
Viewers: 3.07 million (#3); A18-49: 0.5/ 4 (#3)

8:30 p.m. “The Wonder Years”
Viewers: 2.12 million (#3); A18-49: 0.3/ 3 (#3t)

9:00 p.m. “The Conners”
Viewers: 2.90 million (#3); A18-49: 0.5/ 4 (#2t)

9:30 p.m. “Home Economics”
Viewers: 1.96 million (#2); A18-49: 0.3/ 3 (#4)

Elsewhere, it was lackluster Wednesday business on Fox care of the non-scripted combination of “I Can See Your Voice” (Viewers: #4, 2.00 million; A18-49: $4, 0.3/ 3 at 8 p.m.) and “Next Level Chef” (Viewers: #4, 1.76 million; A18-49: #3t, 0.3/ 3 at 9 p.m.,). And The CW featured superhero action hours “D.C.’s Legends of Tomorrow” (Viewers: 471,000; A18-49: 0.1/ 1 at 8 p.m.) and “Batwoman” (Viewers: 451,000; A18-49: 0.1/ 1 at 9 p.m.). Both, of course, finished last in their time periods.
