It's that time again.

Summer is here and no one is watching TV. Well, not entirely true. The site I go to shows daytime programs on weekends and the Indy 500 was the top show with all audiences except seniors and a big winner with men. A surprising number of women like the race too. In prime time, NASCAR won the night except with seniors who of course watched "60 Minutes".

You may have noticed three episodes of "World's Funniest Animals" aired the same night and when rounded got the same number.

At least there's "America's Got Talent". I thought it aired on two nights but Chicago Wednesdays is doing reruns. Which just isn't the same.

Superman is swift again but Tom is not.

I hope this doesn't mess things up but the site started doing Spanish language shows. USA Today, when I did that, listed Univision but those shows were usually last. And no one is doing this in order until I do. This would only be a problem on weekends and I haven't gotten to Saturday yet. Because Saturday was delayed last week I'm doing things in reverse.

"Ghosts" was down. I don't guess reruns are a concern, but even "Young Sheldon" consistently does well in reruns.

This may not be a concern starting this week. I just saw that all the networks except Fox will air hearings about the January 6 incident. Next week should be interesting. I would assume these don't have commercials. Although the State of the Union Address doesn't either and it still has numbers listed here.

"Walker" is back! It does well (for a CW show) with men. Surprisingly, women aren't watching in big numbers. Even "Legacies" got a few more viewers.

On the other hand, that bright red stripe on Fridays really stands out. And CBS is almost red with 18-34. No wonder "Magnum" was cancelled, but with such big overall numbers, I was surprised.

And that's it.

The Spanish shows didn't affect anything on Saturday, but like those of us who speak English, they're not watching.

I can't remember how I have been alphabetizing "$100,000 Pyramid". I think it's spelled "One Hundred Thousand". This is important in case of ties.

"Transplant" needs a transplant to survive. And why did Young Rock have to endure another smackdown?

ABC gave itself a Whammy on Wednesday, but maybe a week from tomorrow, Congressional hearings will help. I don't know how long those last.

I will be back Tuesday next week.
