I'm here this week but that won't be true next week. What I'll do is post the numbers as soon as I see them, meaning whenever I have time after they are on the site. You can see Monday's numbers already. Tuesday and Wednesday will probably be ready by Friday. After that I don't expect to have time until Friday to post the rest.

Football is back! Can you believe these numbers? The top seven shows: all football. And yet NBC doesn't even get to be dark green on Sunday. But it has to be either an actual game, a post-game show or a pre-game show that immediately precedes a game. And the spectacular number for the Fox game is for the entire game. The site doesn't have separate numbers for prime time. And "The OT" lasts only nine minutes. Even a pre-game show an hour before the game gets so few viewers it isn't even worth talking about. And preview shows airing on other nights also don't get a lot of viewers. Fox had something called "Fox NFL Sunday" on a Tuesday. Since the site doesn't have full titles when there isn't room, there may be more to it than that.

Look at the new number one CW show this week. The Wednesday numbers got a big boost from somewhere. Lots of reruns, so lots of low numbers. And even the first episode of "Being Reuben" went back down to where the show started out. But there is hope. The site doesn't normally have such comments when updating the 18-49 numbers. "Note that BEING REUBEN’s ignominious run is apparently over, at least it’s not scheduled to air on the next two Fridays."

"Love Island" did slightly better most nights and even managed to be dark green with its target audience once.

"MasterChef" reversed last week's numbers for its two episodes.

I'm making an assumption about "Crimetime". It's no longer identified that way.

And that's it. Like I said, I'll post when I get the numbers later this week, and then probably no more until Friday.

I don't know what "Shark Attack" was but it got very patriotic numbers.

None of the Chicago shows ever did this poorly. Probably not a good idea to precede one with a football preview.

I fixed a couple of things from last week. Everyone knows "SNL" is on NBC. There were so many Fox shows getting equal numbers that must be how I did that.
