After dropping to season low ratings last week, both “Game On!” and “Marvel’s Agents of SHIELD” bounced back this time around.

The CBS game show, which is hosted by Keegan-Michael Key and features tennis ace Venus Williams and superstar tight end Rob Gronkowski as team captains, leapt up 50% to a 0.6 rating among adults 18-49. That represents its second highest rating of season 1, behind only the premiere. 3.3 million viewers tuned in to the latest episode, an 11% bump from last week. Later on CBS, replays of “SEAL Team” and “S.W.A.T.” both scored a 0.4 rating and 2.5 million viewers each.

Meanwhile over on ABC, “Agents of SHIELD” ticked up from a 0.2 to a 0.3, as it continued its seventh and final season run. 1.3 million viewers watched Wednesday night’s episode, almost exactly the same number as the week prior. ABC kicked off the night with a string of replays. “The Goldbergs” was top of the pile with a 0.5 rating and 2.7 million total viewers, followed by “Black-ish” with a 0.4 and 1.9 million.

For the third straight Wednesday in a row, Spanish-language network Univision topped the broadcast rankings in the key 18-49 demo, thanks to novelas “Te Doy La Vida,” “Amor Eterno” and “Como Tü No Hay Dos,” all of which scored a 0.5 rating.

Continuing the pattern of shows rebounding from season lows, “The 100” ticked up to a 0.2 rating and 690,000 total viewers on the CW. That represents the final season’s largest audience tally in a month. “Bulletproof” followed that up with a 0.1 and 372,000 viewers.

NBC aired replays of its “Chicago” dramas, all of which scored a 0.4 rating. “Med” drew 3.7 million viewers, “Fire” 3.5 million, and “P.D.” 3.5 million also.
