Guess what? I'm here today. Turns out Christmas closings aren't happening as soon as I expected. So the numbers will be up in a few minutes.

Has it come to this? Jimmy Kimmel has his own bowl?

I see a mistake I made last week. Time to go fix it.

[InsertBrainHere]

The numbers were correct but 17 is not less than 14.

Almost done.

[InsertBrainHere]

And that's it for this week.

NBC's football pre-game shows were all listed this week. You can see why maybe they don't want it known how popular the first 51 minutes are. I never understood why they show a separate number at 7:51 but the number goes up dramatically. It's not like the competing game magically ends at that time.

Something weird happened on CBS. Maybe the game ran long.

Significant improvement for The CW on Monday night. And the Christmas parade turned out to be tied for the CW's best.

"FBI: Most Wanted" does better following the original than as the third of three. As usual, a rerun falls off.

Interestingly, the site makes a point of mentioning how much "America's Funniest Home Videos" fell after a week off. No, it did quite well. There are numbers other than 18-49.

But if you're interested in "The Bachelorette" you really care about those numbers. And as well as that show did, "The Voice" did even better.

I can probably be here on Wednesday next week. Whether the holiday numbers will be ready, who knows? However, I'm not doing Sundays any more until a week later, which helps.

Merry Christmas (if you celebrate) to all who I see are reading these.
