For #13, I notice they spelled the name of the show "Extent" instead of "Extant". That is especially interesting to me because I often see tweets and comments by fans who do not spell the name of the show correctly. I think that might happen because "extant" is not a word we commonly use.

I have followed the show and I am very interested in how they will proceed now that they have given us the great reveal.

There were a lot of shows this week that were really off.

But I wouldn't expect overnight to be any more accurate than this.

You've got to admit the number that were right on the money was pretty high.

What week are you looking at?

This weeks list for last weeks ratings should be publishes in the L. A. Times tomorrow or on Friday if they publish the list they seem to miss a few weeks in the summertime.

The overnight finals are fairly accurate except for the live shows mostly sports and shows that air on Saturday.

By "this week" I meant the one for this thread.

If you look at all the times I followed your overnight ratings with USA Today's, you're right about how accurate they are. But this week they didn't do too well.

I should mention USA Today didn't even show the golf, which was no. 2 in the overnights.
