Something is wrong. If you see a number to the left, that's last week's. I have only those nights for which there is only a number on the right.

I will do a search and see if I can find another ratings site. I had to do that when I found this one.

[InsertBrainHere]

I found some additional numbers (they were identified as fast nationals, not final) but no reruns were listed (although I guess that doesn't matter much), or "60 Minutes".

I'm going to try a couple of other things but this list may never be finished if the site I want to use doesn't update.

[InsertBrainHere]

Except for Monday and Tuesday, these are all preliminary. I have Friday and Saturday still to go, but since Saturday is nearly all reruns, I'm not optimistic about even finding those. I can update the numbers if necessary if the site that has final numbers comes up with them.

I can say this, though. "Manifest" got its lowest numbers yet.

[InsertBrainHere]

I was not able to find Saturday's ratings. Until there are final numbers, I'm not going to rank the shows either.

The site where I found Friday's numbers had this to say about "Charmed" and "Dynasty": "Was there a ball game somewhere?" These are spectacular numbers for those shows. Meanwhile, "Smackdown" got a Smackdown.

"Mom" being a series finale, it got a big boost.

On the other hand, "Supergirl" is back in the Phantom Zone.

I can't say what will happen next week. What may have to happen is I will do only preliminary numbers if that's all that is available, and for only six nights a week. I don't understand why this information is so hard to find.

[InsertBrainHere]

I have not found ratings for May 15 so I'm just ranking the shows I have. The Saturday shows are all reruns anyway except for "48 Hours", more than likely, and even that could be a rerun in at least one slot.

3Sheets listed the top shows for the week with the week starting on Monday and ending on Sunday. That's what newspapers used to list. The problem with doing that now is that no one lists more than the few top shows. I have not seen a list of all shows on the broadcast networks in years and have had to go by each night's list. Now, I can only find that for six nights a week, and even then the preliminary ratings seem to be listed, not the final numbers. For sports, those tend not to be accurate, but for most shows they're close enough.

Starting this week I will end the week with Friday. So there will be no numbers for Sunday until next week, when I start listing the top shows for the week starting on Sunday and ending on Friday. That seems to be the best way to do it, so we can have a list of six consecutive nights.
