I saved what I had done so far when the computer seemed about to freeze. It unfroze but I was just making sure. If anyone saw what looked like a completed list it was entirely last week's. Now, if it's this week's, there is no ranking on the left.

Two things different this week. I am starting with Sunday, and there are six days. This is how it will be from now on, but if you really want to know the preliminary numbers from any show that has aired but the time I post (except on Saturday, of course) I can get it. And I have yet to find any site showing final numbers.

On The CW, things are back to "normal". Both Friday shows are getting the expected numbers so I don't know what happened the last couple of weeks. And the Thursday shows are reruns.

I was so disappointed when the Chicago Wednesday shows ended up not being all in a row.

One thing about this site is it includes room for the full title.

I forgot to mention the two CW Friday shows had 0.0 million viewers in the 18-49 age group. The shows are listed in order by those numbers but the total preliminary number is also given. For some odd reason when Nancy Drew got viewers back, it gained 100 percent over the previous week when there were none, but I don't think the math is right.

I'm suspicious of the new show "Crime Scene Kitchen" because all of its statistics are the same as for "Masked Singer". Even its total viewers when two digits beyond the decimal are shown. The most suspicious item is a percentage change from a previous episode, which a new series cannot have. I'm going to look for another site and more than likely I'll have to correct that.

I'm going to investigate the "Crime Scene Kitchen" situation. I also see a couple of others things I forgot to do before ranking the shows.

I don't know what "Big Trick Energy" was but it couldn't have been too big or energetic, and it appeared to be trick on The CW. And it wasn't the lowest rated show of the week, but instead tied for that distinction with "Dynasty" when two digits beyond the decimal are shown. I'm going to see if I can find a site with three. I think there still is one. And then we'll see who won. But the numbers are as pathetic as I've ever seen for an episode of a series that wasn't a rerun.

I'm a little suspicious about "Duncanville" because both episodes have the same number when two digits beyond the decimal are shown.

As I mentioned last week, Sunday numbers will be a week later so we can have six consecutive nights. No site that I have found is showing Saturday numbers.

[InsertBrainHere]

And that's it. I was right about "Crime Scene Kitchen".

I saw terminology that suggested one of the sites has final numbers but I'm not ready to deal with that just yet. The numbers that were there matched what I had.

Back next week. Maybe on Tuesday. In fact, I know I'll be here Tuesday two weeks from now because I can't be here on Wednesday.

Good news. There is a site with final ratings. It does not seem to have numbers for Saturdays. It's too much for me to correct everything today but I'll fix what's here and in the last two lists eventually. I can see some differences and I will use that site next week.

And things are even worse for "Big Trick Enegry", as that site spells it.

[InsertBrainHere]

That didn't take so long. Now we have all the finals for last week. I will do the previous two weeks as I get time. It's just Wednesday through Friday and Sunday for the first week and Monday through Friday for the second week.

"The Flash" was even worse off and "Crime Scene Kitchen" was way worse off.
