It has taken me a long time to get here. I intended to start earlier today, but here I am.

A couple of details: both NCAA men's basketball games that started before prime time have the numbers for the entire game, not just what happened in prime time. Also, I'm not listing a NASCAR race that lasted seven minutes in prime time, for which the numbers refer to the entire event, not just those seven minutes. I am, however, including the seven minutes of NCAA coverage which was listed separately.

If you look at the numbers for specific audiences, the number of men watching Sunday's game was so far ahead of the number of men watching anything else the entire day and night it's unbelievable.

Sundays on The CW are off again, and these aren't reruns. CBS, however, does have that excuse. NBC is doing worse except for the "Good Girls" who at least didn't fall any further when rounded.

Interesting. "Smackdown", unlike most of the Friday shows, did not lose a significant number of viewers, but only the basketball games were green, something wrestling usually gets.

Games that started before prime time are shown with the numbers for the entire game, of course.

ABC's dramas, not "Sheldon", got the dark green numbers for Thursday this week. "The Unicorn" had two new episodes after Biden bumped the show last week.

"Penn & Teller" were actually up this week while "Whose Line" was down. "Walker" was also up, helping "Legacies".

Not going to wait three days. I lost everything once doing that.

"Young Rock" may not have received a "Smackdown" but "Kenan" sure did.

"This Is Us" is way down but still dark green with young people. For seniors, dark green means the crime shows, one of which got a three-digit number rounded.

While Nancy needs to investigate who stole her viewers, "Riverdale" is in the orange zone with young people. So are both Tuesday superhero shows, while only "Soul of a Nation" is in the red with that audience.

Whatever "Holmes Family Effect" means, it sure isn't good numbers for Fox. By the way, "Kat" was way up.

[InsertBrainHere]

And that's it except for rankings. "America's Most Wanted" isn't quite the phenomenon one would expect. However, numbers for "The Bachelor" and "After the Final Rose" were HUGE with women and very high with all target audiences except seniors. One wonders how there was anything left for "The Voice" and yet both shows were dark green with 25-54. Seniors were also dark green for "The Voice".
