ABC’s The Goldbergs this Wednesday drew 4.4 million total viewers with its penultimate episode of the season, holding steady versus its last fresh episode. A special airing of Single Parents then did 2.9 mil and a 0.5 — down a tick from what Schooled last did in the time slot. American Housewife (2.8 mil/0.5) was down, as was Single Parents‘ regularly scheduled outing (2.2 mil/0.4), which tied and hit series lows.

A special airing of Shark Tank closed ABC’s night with 2.4 mil/0.5.

The Live+Same Day numbers reported in our daily-ish ratings column do not reflect a show’s overall performance, given the increases in delayed playback via DVR and streaming platforms. These Live+Same Day numbers instead are used to illustrate any trends or high/low superlatives. Happy Fun Ball may stick to certain types of skin.
