I'm back. I see a lot of you are reading so I'll keep doing this as long as I can. The one person who was going to take over if I didn't want to decided not to post here as much, so I'm the one doing it.

Fridays on The CW are even worse. That's the "truth". That's their "burden".

Once again, I don't know why anyone wants to show sports that are not The Olympics. I wonder if ABC regrets showing the NBA Draft. You would think ESPN would do better. Actually, the site might tell us if ESPN also aired it and how well they did. Let me check. Actually, ESPN had about the same number of viewers for the draft.

Looks like almost everything other than The Olympics is a rerun. "The Bachelorette" did not take a break and somehow it did not do any worse than usual. Other shows which were not labelled as reruns fell off sharply.

Last Sunday's numbers are ready even though, because of leaving out Saturday for several weeks, I now do Sunday-Saturday rather than Monday-Sunday. I'll tell you how The Olympics did and see if "Dead Pixels" could possibly do any worse.

13.0 million viewers, and "Pixels" actually recovered nicely to almost make it to 200,000 viewers. Rounded up, since that's what I do, that's what I'll say next week.

No surprise who had the top seven shows. Each night's coverage was, of course, treated as one show.

I was wrong about every show other than "The Bachelorette". Some game shows did reasonably well and "Big Brother" didn't seem to be affected at all.

The situation is worse for "Legends of Tomorrow" than it appears. The rerun did worse than "Wellington Paranormal", which did better in next week's numbers but when rounded still looks the same. The CW did not do well at all this week.

And of course I mentioned last week that "Dead Pixels" has far surpassed anything I've ever seen before.

That's it until next week. I can see there are lots of you reading this.
