Ratings: ABC’s Wednesday Night Comedy Line Up Loses the Night Again, But They’re All Renewed!

Share

ABC’s devotion to mediocrity is really paying off.

The network renewed all five of their Wednesday shows this week. And, as has been the case all season, all five scored poor ratings for the night. ABC was trounced as usual by NBC, CBS, and Fox.

The highest number of viewers mustered was for “The Conners” at 9pm with 2.83 million. Just below them were “The Goldbergs” with 2.79 million. Not able to crack 2 million eyes were “Home Economics,” “The Wonder Years,” and “A Million Little Things.” The latter had just a few more than a million little viewers.

And so it goes. NBC’s “Chicago” block won the night. Fox’s “The Masked Singer” had four million viewers followed by half that for the return of “So You Think You Can Dance.”

Not the brightest night in TV history for a sweeps month.
