I'm back.

Saturdays continue as they were. Most networks are doing sports and almost no one is watching. It's weird that more people watched the pre-game and post-game shows on NBC than the football game itself.

I wonder why The CW continues to air a show with so few viewers. "Whose Line" reruns do much better, while the magicians have had help making their viewers disappear.

I was premature clicking. So I'll be back when I finish Thursday, not Friday.

Well, this is embarrassing. Last week I made Penn & Teller disappear.

And their latest trick seems to have gone bad. Who brought back "Dynasty" when we thought it was gone?

The Stanley Cup gets good numbers. Why the NBA Draft needs to be on broadcast TV I don't understand. As usual, it is the target audiences. Number one for the night with men, close with 18-49. It's weird that so many 25-54 viewers want to watch kids cook, but the draft is second to them.

Seniors still watch "Sheldon" reruns.

Superman is super again. I forget the exact number of viewers for "Walker" but I think it was higher. Rounded, the shows are tied but alphabetically, Superman is first.

No one is 18-34 watching "Tom Swift". The color red is very distinctive there because "Superman" is orange all the way across. Could be worse, though. "Wellington Paranormal" is back. What are they THINKING? There are literally no 18-34 viewers for that and rounding doesn't tell you the whole picture. From the comments that are apparently by Mitch Salem because it says "Written by Mitch Salem" above everything, he says of that show's numbers "the latter being remarkably low for original broadcast programming even by CW standards."

And there we go.

I don't know what "Black Pack" and "Brandon Leake" are, but The CW got little benefit from them.

The Stanley Cup was the big winner this week. "Holey Moley" scored a bogey. Speaking of golf, I didn't know whether to bother with the last 5 minutes of the U.S. Open, but I did. And of course the number was for the entire program which started eight minutes before prime time.

The holiday likely means I won't get here until Wednesday next week at the earliest.

Wow. Word sure got out fast.
