Saturdays are about the same on The CW. Not sure what's happening with the magicians, but their numbers come back at 9:30. Both episodes are reruns, so I'm not sure what's happening. The CW has Fridays figured out, even if the episodes are reruns.

"Smackdown" has solid numbers with most audiences. It's even number one for the night with women. "Blood & Treasure" was a bad choice as the seniors like their crime shows, although that title sounds like it could be a crime show of some sort.

The site I use had a different title for each network's coverage of the January 6 hearings. I didn't do that. Also, this time the Big Three stayed with it for three hours instead of two.

No change from last week on The CW. Mostly new episodes on Wednesday, but still ...

"Big Brother" was number one for Wednesday night (or tied, with seniors) with all audiences. "Masterchef" was number two except with men (who also watched the ESPYs) and seniors.

"The Bachelorette" is getting what I would call "This Is Us" numbers. It's even number one with men, but not by much. And except for seniors who don't care, it's so far in front with other audiences you can't even see second place from there. And yet the comments section said it was down from the previous week.

As one would expect, baseball's All-Star Game looks like it will be number one for the week.

The two FBI spinoffs are tied when you use my system but the one with fewer viewers first time around got slightly more this time.

Look at the numbers on the left for the CW shows! Almost, but not quite. This week, "Riverdale" pushed just high enough to be rounded up. I double checked and "In the Dark" was not labeled as a rerun. In fact, the comments said it was up. The comments always refer to 18-49, while here total viewers are listed.

"Big Brother" was number one in prime time for Sunday except with seniors who REALLY like "60 Minutes", which is a rerun, and game shows.

The race on Fox ended in prime time and "Beat shazam" was joined in progress but the number shown is for the entire race. This site lists all shows, not just prime time, on weekends. I mention this because a golf event that started on Sunday morning got huge numbers, and because seniors really like the news programs.

NBC is doing better but not well on Sundays.

That's it until next week. Probably Wednesday again.
