If a number is on the left, it's last week's. You know it's last week's if you see a debate mentioned. One was scheduled, but as we know it didn't happen.

The site didn't use the same title for what was actually a "Biden Town Hall", but I decided to make it clear.

Where a long title got cut off I just had to include what I could see. Judging from its spectacular numbers I would say "Home Depot" must have been some sports event. Probably football. Baseball games are called "NLCS".

CBS didn't do quite as well without football, of course, and there was a sharp drop in viewers after the first hour that must have them asking, "Bueller? Bueller?"

I did not include pre-game shows that ended three minutes after prime time began.

And Fox's game, as usual, has the number for the entire game, not just what happened during prime time.

"Whose Line" didn't quite make it to 1.0 but it did do better than it has, on Monday at least. On Sunday the show got one of its lowest numbers ever. Penn & Teller also almost made the magic happen. "Swamp Thing" ended up getting normal numbers for The CW.

Fox's Monday night lineup got a reprieve. I did check and baseball gave both shows a slight boost this week. Does anyone really want a nine-minute postgame show? I won't be listing the number for a game that ended 2 minutes after prime time began. Tuesday continues to fall.

"The Neighborhood" is not invincible. I think they showed it too many times.

It's interesting what this site shows. "Emergency Call" was in the red zone with men. The CW is almost always there. Aren't more of the people who respond to emergencies men than women? Meanwhile, "The Masked Singer" is dark green with most audiences but lighter green with men and older people.
