The CW is having serious problems. Sunday night is back to "normal". The second "Reuben" is getting close to a record low once again, and the site didn't even bother to explain but just said "BEING REUBEN remained at twin zeros". And "The 100" is more like 25. Even the Monday shows, even when "Whose Line" is not identified as a rerun, fell below last week's numbers, which were more of a psychological benefit.

"Love Island" continues to score poorly, though a little better than last week. But what I said about its target audience numbers being green doesn't really apply. The dark green just happened once and if it makes it to green at all, it's light green.

Apparently you can get too much of "America's Funniest Home Videos".

And we hate The Coopers.

I had to make a correction last week. I forgot to put some shows that were tied by my method in alphabetical order.

And that's it.

ABC brought back "The Bachelor". Big mistake. With men its numbers are red.

I'll be quite busy the next few weeks. What I may do is put the early numbers up when they are posted. You'll know which those are because they won't have rankings yet.

Well, I thought that was it. I left out two reruns of sitcoms. Which weren't even worth mentioning.
