I'm here early this week but it was a mistake because the headlines were misleading. When I looked again I realized they promised final numbers for the weekend but those aren't here yet. So weekend numbers will not be final.

Also, I had to save what I was doing because of computer problems. If you see a number to the left, it's from last week. Other shows are correct.

How in the world did a "Simpsons" RERUN do so well?

And it's done. A few comments now.

Saturday's numbers are not accurate because they do not include West Coast numbers. And in the West, "SNL" is live, so the prime time programs listed on NBC air at a different time. The ones that are later probably have fewer viewers. I will update when final numbers are available, but the headlines led me to believe the site had them.

You would think The CW would have taken advantage when the other networks were covering Super Tuesday (CBS called their show "Campaign '20", according to the site). I don't think "All American" is one of the superhero shows, but I don't think it was ever #1. Actually, it may not have been but I use one place after the decimal and shows that tie are shown in alphabetical order.

"Indebted" owes NBC money. But they have performed consistently in that slot.

"Empire" used to be so popular. Is it the Jussie Smollett controversy?

Fox did better when the powerhouse Thursday CBS schedule wasn't the competition.

Final numbers are in. I will just wait for those next week. No one's in a hurry, are they?

I'm going to assume no one cares about a post-game show that lasted eleven minutes and had no significant difference from the boxing match that followed, or an eighteen-minute post-event show that also didn't make much of a difference.

"Masked Singer" got a 7.2 and that's a final number.

When I post the numbers for next week, the press conference pre-empted one episode of "Modern Family", assuming they intended to have six, and "SEAL Team" and "LEGO Masters" were joined in progress, and so was a rerun of "Chicago Fire". If anyone cares I can list the four networks' numbers for that press conference. The change was significant on ABC. Ironically, "Riverdale" didn't seem to be affected but I hear it is affected by the actual disease.
