There were several problems with this week's numbers. I doubt anyone cares, but the numbers for the PGA Tournament, while quite high, were for the entire day's event and not for the hours during prime time. Also, Thursday's numbers are preliminary, though the statement was made where the updated numbers were supposed to be that the final numbers would be posted later "today", whenever "today" was supposed to be. The final numbers were unchanged, but they report only changes in the 18-49 audience. I use the total number of viewers, which is less meaningful but it's what 3Sheets did and it's what everyone wants.

The CW had some improved numbers. "Coroner" didn't start out really well but it was a big improvement over what was there. "Stargirl" improved and "The 100" definitely did better. "Whose Line" dropped below the magic 1.0, though I think that was rounded anyway last week.

But how bad was "Being Reuben"? I'm not sure I've ever seen a 1 as the first digit. I may have. The show did so bad they had to clarify what was meant by 0.0 18-49 viewers. Normally those have just one digit beyond the decimal but just this once they told us above the list that the numbers were .04 and .03. WW

One more thing about "Reuben". I don't recall seeing two shades of red before. At least "The Bachelor" was no longer red this week. As I said last week, the site shows each number with a color representing how the show compared to others.

And "United We" continue to fall. Also, Marvel's show is also down. You can't tell when it's rounded. "Supernatural" improved dramatically from what "Taskmaster" did last week in the same slot, but it is a rerun. Still not good numbers.

Baseball did so well for Fox why would they switch to boxing for Saturday?

Home video shows seem to be doing very well. Game shows don't seem to go down that much when there are reruns.

I'm confused about "MasterChef". The 9:00 episode is labelled as a premiere and as a rerun. It got lower numbers than the 8:00 episode so it must have been a rerun too.

And that's it for this week.
