Don't worry about the NBA. It's dark green with young people, who don't seem to watch much of anything else on Saturday.

I wasn't sure what to call the first two half-hours of the Oscars in prime time. I just called them "Oscars" and listed the three separate time slots. I didn't know there was a 6:30 program but I didn't bother.

Fox doesn't seem to lose many viewers for reruns. But the Slow and Content movie on NBC didn't improve on most weeks. The CW did slightly better with reruns of unscripted shows.

I discovered a mistake from last week. Two shows that were tied were out of alphabetical order.

"Smackdown" is back to dark green with young people and so is "Hell's kitchen". "Grey's Anatomy" is medium green but surprisingly the lightest possible shade of green with women.

The CW wasn't even trying, whatever "2040" was.

Reruns are bad but summer is coming and the networks will have to come up with something. But CBS needs to send Hannibal or someone to rescue Clarice, if they can't come up with new episodes soon.

If I didn't say it last week "B Positive" was being propped up by "Sheldon". That's obvious now. "United States of Al" probably wouldn't do well on its own either, and reruns of that show really didn't succeed.

Something weird about Tuesdays. "Young Rock" is dark green with the target audiences other than young people, but so are the CBS crime shows. "The Resident" made a huge comeback and is dark green with young people and lighter green with older target audiences.

Also, on Wednesdays, "The Masked Singer" gets all the dark green except Chicago Wednesdays which is dark green only with seniors.

"New Amsterdam" actually improved without a worthwhile lead-in.

I don't know what's happening to ABC Wednesdays but "Call Your Mother" achieved an unfortunate distinction, as did "Kenan".

I don't know the name of the program but it had "Chauvin" in the part of the title that was shown, and that program really brought CBS down, orange across the board. Oh, except with seniors. The lightest shade of green.

"The Flash" needs to make a return quickly. Nancy also lost her viewers and "Kung Fu" is starting to look ordinary.

Forgot to mention: "The Moodys" is inching upward, along with the rest of Fox Thursday.

Fox must really be happy about Mondays.

And I didn't mention the CBS crime shows were shown as reruns. Wow!

"Debris" continues to fall.

And I have a great big apology for any "Bull" fans who read last week's and didn't see it. I'm on my way to fix it.

Okay, done. Back next week.
