The Live+Same Day numbers reported in our ratings column do not reflect a show’s overall performance, given the increased use of delayed playback via DVR and streaming platforms, plus out-of-home viewing. These numbers (Nielsen fast nationals, unless denoted as finals) instead aim to simply illustrate trends or superlatives. Steve Harvey is not a judge or lawyer and merely offers an alternative forum of dispute resolution.
Wild Cards is great, I hope people give it a chance
I agree. It’s light and airy. We need that more than ever!
When I think of all the times NBC was ridiculed in the past for the Chicago shows (“what’s next—Chicago Sanitation?!”) it’s amusing to see how its Wednesday lineup continues to dominate. As a #OneChicago fan, I was happy to see all my shows return!
I hate Fire without Hawkins. I have read that writers are promising great things for Violet this season. And that couldnt have been with Evan???? With Carver? Oh NOOOO.
I hope ‘Wild Cards’ does well for The CW, they’re happy and it sticks around for awhile. It’s really a cute and light series that we all kind of need right now.
When is Chicago FIRE coming back?????? I’d rather have that show than MED!!!!
It… came back last night, along with Med and P.D.?
