I'm a day early this week.

I see there's a couple of mistakes in last week's but I'll fix those. Always remember that if a show airs in a time slot that is not its usual one, it will get lower numbers. As if this were possible with the shows in question.

I don't know what the problem is with the NBA playoffs. And I included a 7-minute post-game show, assuming it lasted just 7 minutes.

What was The CW thinking on Friday?

[InsertBrainHere]

"The Masked Singer" is behind "Survivor" and Chicago Wednesdays. Respectable, but not like it was.

I hadn't noticed but this week "Masterchef Junior" is close behind "Ghosts" with 18-34 for number one for Thursday night.

Freddie Mercury gave The CW some big numbers. On any other network ...

Why a rerun of "The Conners"?

[InsertBrainHere]

I forgot to mention a couple of things. Some sources use two digits beyond the decimal, and "Chicago Fire" would be shown with an evil number. My source uses three.

"Walker" a rerun already?

Someone save Superman!

The Monday CW shows are not shown to be reruns, but they're getting rerun numbers.

With 18-49 and men, the special after the series finale of "Black-ish" (which was hardly noticed anyway) scored lower than "Mr. Mayor" but "Name That Tune" did worse than "Mr. Mayor" with everyone except men, with which both shows were tied.

"Young Rock" has gotten a smackdown.

Not that it matters with a show about to be cancelled but "This Is Us" was far and away the number one for the night with all ages except seniors who of course watched the FBIs. Even number one with men, but not by much. With women, so far ahead you can't even see second place.

"9-1-1" is number one for the night with 25-54. "The Neighborhood" is close behind.

[InsertBrainHere]

That's it. I won't be here early next week, but I got lucky this week.

I don't know what a rain delay is, but apparently not that many people quit watching. And the race resumed at 10:30 with a few viewers lost.
