Chicago Fre and Chicago PD’s crossover saw an upward tick in the TV ratings for the night. The same couldn’t be said for The Masked Singer or SEAL Team.

It was a mixed night for the TV ratings on Feb. 26. As Sean Roman returned in the Chicago Fire and Chicago PD crossover, Bravo Team saw its tactical support in direct danger. Here’s a look at how the shows fared in the Wednesday TV ratings.

As usual, the One Chicago crossover performed well. This wasn’t a three-way crossover, though, but that didn’t mean Chicago Med disappointed. The show kicked off the night with a 4% increase in the audience and 14% increase in the demo.

It was Fire that won the audience for the night, with its 3% increase to 8.56 million. The demo was also up by 8%. When it comes to the largest increases, the win goes to Chicago PDFire fans were certainly intrigued by how the story would end, leading to a 16% boost in both metrics.

I doubt these three shows are going anywhere. They’re a staple of Wednesday nights for NBC. The only thing that will see these shows disappear is the cast walking away.

While NBC had a good night, it was mixed for all other networks. CBS was steady with Survivor, but SEAL Team returned with its two-episode winter premiere down from the finale. This isn’t all that surprising considering the long break between episodes. Some fans may not have even realized the show was returning this week.

The series is on the bubble at the moment, just like last season. Hopefully we’ll see a tick up next week and then it remains steady. This is a show that needs to remain.

FOX’s The Masked Singer lost 15% in the demo and 6% in the total audience. However, the demo remained the top of the night and there’s absolutely no need to worry about this series.

The show we’re concerned about is LEGO Masters. While the demo was good at 1.0, the audience is still low. This is despite a 5% increase from the previous episode.

ABC has Single Parents on the bubble. The show did see a 3% uptick in the audience but it lost 16% of its demo and sits at a series low in that metric. It may not have helped that we got a rerun of Modern Family, but it’s a sign that the show is struggling to keep its own fanbase.
