It's that time again. I noticed someone was already viewing when I got here.

CW viewers seem to be getting tired of reruns on Saturday. The magicians actually made their viewers disappear. Fridays are a little better, with the early videos episode dropping off slightly. Penn & Teller are up.

I don't know what "UFC Prelims" is.

For those of you who are new, it might be a good idea to mention that "Crimetime" is a name USA Today used to give to reruns of crime-related dramas on CBS, such as "S.W.A.T.", "Magnum, PI", or "Blue Bloods". The site I use doesn't identify them but just calls them "Saturday encore". On some Saturday nights there are two, and sometimes there are two "48 Hours" episodes.

I have no idea why the first of two "Blue Bloods" episodes that aired Friday is identified as a premiere. They're always making mistakes like that.

And as usual, "Smackdown" is way out in front for the night with all ages except seniors, and still number one with women, and way, way out in front with men.

I'm going to break my rule about not mentioning Spanish shows (which are new on the site as of several weeks ago) to say something called "Partido Amistoso" was number one 18-34 and with men. Otherwise, I haven't said how "America's Got Talent" is doing with individual age groups or audiences but it is number one across the board, and way out in front with 25-54 and women.

"Big Brother" is getting "This Is Us" numbers. Wednesday it was number one with everyone, and so far out in front with women you can't even see number two. "Masterchef" is either second, tied for second, or third with everyone except the seniors watching the Chicago shows. "Challenge USA" is actually second with women and 18-34 and tied for second with 18-49, and third with men and 25-54.

"Big Brother" on Thursdays is way out in front with everyone except men, though it's still number one with them. Seniors are watching game shows and "Young Sheldon".

The CW just isn't even trying, though "Mysteries Decoded" seems to have solved the mystery of how to get more viewers. Then those viewers disappear, even for a new episode of something apparently related. Superman is affected by kryptonite (they could do something besides more reruns) and bringing Tom Swift down in the process.

And that's it.

The NHRA event ended in prime time and "Beat Shazam" was joined in progress, but the number shown is for the entire racing event.

Sunday's "Big Brother" was number one for the night with everyone except seniors (this seems to have hurt "NCIS: LA", which as everyone knows is big with seniors), who like "60 Minutes" A LOT, and game shows. Well, most game shows. One is on the verge of "the final straw".

"Riverdale" is back to normal. "Roswell" was up, and so was "In the Dark".

And I'll be back by this time next week.
