If you are reading this, only shows without rankings are correct. I had to save my work because I was worried about losing it.

I noticed I messed up the dates for last week. They are correct now.

Edit: Okay, I think they're all in order now and they just need rankings. I see one that I forgot to remove.

Done. And I have lots of comments.

The site I go to now is driving me nuts. I rely on being able to take the standard URL format and just change the day of the week and the date. So they confuse me by constantly changing from the word August to the abbreviation. If that's not bad enough, one night's ratings didn't get the usual format with the date and I had to go to the main site and search through the entire list. On that subject, I could start listing ratings for shows that already aired this week before I have the entire week. In fact, I might be able to start listing all the ratings on Mondays, but I think I have to wait for Sunday's final numbers.

Holey Moley, people are getting tired of competition shows.

CBS must be so glad "Love Island" is over. The three "NCIS" shows did quite well for summer. The other one I called "Crimetime" because of USA Today. CBS and ABC are bringing back some sitcoms that haven't been around for a while. This doesn't necessarily translate into big numbers but at least fans of those shows will be reminded they're still there. Some I thought had been cancelled. "The Neighborhood" made a big jump when it went back to its normal slot.

The CW did pathetically bad this week but Sunday nights were magic. The two sentence horror stories are the network's numbers. This is the next mystery to decode. How could a new episode of "Whose Line" do so poorly? That must have been a mistake. Sometimes on the site I used to go to reruns would occasionally be labelled as new and vice versa. Or maybe they fumbled the lead-in.

I left out a "Neighborhood" episode. Even though it was a rerun it did quite well.

But there was a "First Responders" episode that shouldn't have been there.
