Some shows improved on The CW and some did worse. "Reuben" is hitting what may be new record lows and, while this isn't norm ally done on this site, when the changes for 18-49 were listed, even though this wasn't a change, this was stated: "For fans of car crashes, the more specific ratings for BEING REUBEN were 0.04/0.03." And at least there the name was spelled right. And there was a second shade of red.

"Stargirl" improved slightly, and because "Prodigal Son" is doing so poorly, a CW show was actually orange instead of red. "whose Line", despite both being reruns, crossed the 1.0 line, and the 8:30 episode actually was above 1.0. Interesting that this happens. "Masters of Illusion" actually went up at 8:30 even though the first episode and not the second was listed as a rerun.

NBC had a special and the title was too long for the space provided, but I recall seeing they were going to have a special on the coronavirus.

"United We" continue to fall.

I had to guess on the CBS Saturday programming but it's normally "Crimetime" in these slots.

Amateur competitions are doing quite well, and the pros are not.

CBS made a comeback on Sunday with its shows in the right time slots.

And "Young Sheldon" met his match because he got pushed into another slot.

And that's it for this week. I didn't know whether anyone wanted convention numbers. They're not great.

For Monday, final numbers are ABC 2.4, CBS 2.0 and NBC 2.2. That's millions. Preliminary numbers for last night are ABC 1.8, CBS 2.0 and NBC 2.3. There is a section with cable channels and CNN got 4.8 and MSNBC 4.4 on Monday. Why anyone would watch Fox News I don't know but I bet they do better next week.

Also, "Dead Pixels" on The CW could have done worse but it wasn't as bad as expected. "Tell Me A Story" is down and I don't recall "Whose Line" doing this poorly.

"Supernatural" fell off, though you can't tell here.

And Marvel was up slightly with its finale.
