I'm not finished but the computer is giving me problems and I don't want to lose what I've done.

Friday's ratings are not final, but they're all I could find. I can say that Marvel should have quit while they were ahead.

Friday's final ratings appeared mysteriously. I didn't provide the updated numbers for Marvel because the final ratings make things look worse.

Anyway, here are my comments before I start adding rankings. I also noticed I may have left a show out last week. I'll have to check. Also, in case of a tie (the source uses two digits beyond the decimal but I don't), I put shows in alphabetical order and I didn't do that either.

Penn & Teller, while they boosted Sunday numbers, made Pandora disappear. I wish I had kept records of the lowest numbers with two digits beyond the decimal but that has to be the lowest I've ever seen for a scripted show.

"Jane the Virgin" may have had its finale but that didn't affect the ratings hardly at all. The special didn't help at all.

"iZombie" also had its finale and I suppose it got a slight improvement from that.

"Love Island" got a slight boost. But among the reality shows, "The Bachelorette" performed the best, even putting a dent in the normally invincible "AGT".

ABC has a shark problem on Saturday nights. Also, its game shows are going "Lower! Lower!" even when they're new.

Finished. Also, another finale which continued to do worse in spite of that was "Thousand Dollar Mile".

And it's not labelled a rerun, but unless it is, I think Fox can't dance.

The scripted shows do not have many viewers.

That's something I've noticed too. I wonder why?
