I'm back. And early this week. It won't happen next week.

Weird that there were weather delays both for the USFL and the MLS. And not a lot of people watched that. It is never explained why they never went back to the game in either case. There is no commentary. Also, both games start before prime time, but what I have is the number for whatever aired.

[InsertBrainHere]

"The Flash" was up slightly and did really well with men considering it's The CW.

"Grey's Anatomy" was on top 18-34 and second to "Station 19" with women, and tied for fourth with 25-54. "Young Sheldon" beat everyone else but 18-34 and women.

"The Masked Singer" was new again and second to "Survivor" 18-34, 18-49 and with women.

Movies aren't such a good idea.

The crime shows and Chicago Wednesdays won't be around much longer.

"This Is Us" continues to move out in front with every audience, except of course seniors who are watching the FBIs. With women, you can't even see second place form there. Imagine what the series finale will be like.

And that's it.

Who do you believe? Apparently no one, especially if you are 18-34. The same number from that audience were watching "Superman" reruns.

The USFL game on Fox lasted three hours, but 17 minutes in prime time, though the number is for the entire game. The post-game show lasted seven minutes. Something I had not considered is that when a sports event runs over, people out west might see more of what comes next. But this list shows a "Simpsons" episode that lasted all of six minutes.

I did make a correction to last week. And for some reason "Whose Line" reruns are doing better on Saturdays than they were. Even the new "Masters" is slightly higher than the rerun.

With the holiday, I am unlikely to be here this early next week. In fact, I am unable to be here Tuesday period. But I know the final numbers won't be available by Monday.
