Some explanation is needed.

CBS had a college tournament on Saturday which ended during prime time, but the number is for the entire game. An extended episode of "48 Hours" aired but for some reason instead of one "Crimetime" there were two sitcoms. I had to go another site to find out which ones. weird that "Bob Heart Abishola" beat "The Neighborhood".

Fox had two tournaments, one ending in prime time followed by a postgame show. The number is for the entire game, and then there's a separate number for the postgame. Another tournament's game followed.

Weird that a rerun of "World's Funniest Animals" beats the new episode that preceded it. Even weirder: The CW brings back "Charmed" and "Dynasty", shows that consistently fail.

"Smackdown" is number one 18-49 despite its total numbers. As far as the web site with the numbers is concerned, that's the only thing that counts.

I was premature to say "Grey's Anatomy" and "Station 19" were not doing well, though both are way down in total numbers. They are still number one and number two for the night with 18-49 and women.

Likewise, "The Masked Singer" is way down as well but almost tied for number one with "Survivor" for the night 18-34, and number two 18-49 behind "Chicago Fire". With 25-49 it is nearly tied for number one among all shows not set in Chicago.

The CW's superheroes aren't doing so well. "Kung Fu" is doing slightly better but the way I learned to alphabetize, it comes after "The Flash". With 18-34, "The Flash" is doing much better. "Walker" continues to fall but for a CW show it's doing pretty well, and I have to emphasize "Legacies" is NOT a rerun.

"Ghosts" IS a rerun.

ABC's Wednesday comedies are reruns, but you probably could tell. "A Million Little Things" is not.

"Naomi" continues to fall but "All American" is up slightly.

Not that it matters since it's cancelled but "This Is Us", despite much lower overall numbers, is second for the night 18-49 and with women (and you KNOW what's number one) and number one with seniors not watching shows about federal law enforcement.

"The Bachelor" is waaaay out in front 18-34, both nights. And waaaay out in front 18-49 and with women Monday.

That's it until next week.

What has happened to The CW on Sundays is unbelievable. The good news is that the network got a one-time boost this past Sunday which will be in next week's list. The Critics Choice Awards beat all shows from this week.

NBC must really miss football. "Transplant" needs a transplant and "The Courtship" is headed for a breakup. A news special that didn't have a title did better than anything else. On other nights, "Endgame" is about to live up to its title. The Tuesday comedies at least have finished up their seasons and proven winners are coming to replace them.

Bad news for "The Good Doctor": unlike the other medical shows, it's not even doing well with target audiences. "Good Sam" has been put on life support, or perhaps they've called it. "FBI" isn't doing better (really?) but at least it wasn't new.

Look how well ABC is doing on Sundays! I had to double-check because "AFV" isn't usually the one getting those numbers. It's the news.
