I have problems tomorrow so I'm hoping to do this tonight. I had some extra time.

If anyone is interested the Amazon Prime football game had 9.7 million viewers and the pre-game 3.9 million.

On the subject of football everyone except The CW was doing it and it would seem that would bring everyone down. CBS for some reason had one of the top shows of the week with their broadcast.

A big week for fire. "Fire Country" on CBS got a huge debut and "Chicago Fire" did even better than it usually does. Women, seniors and 18-49 like "Station 19" which was second to "Grey's Anatomy" with women and third behind "Grey's" and "SVU" with 18-49. And, well, you know what the seniors like on Thursdays. Of all the ABC Thursday shows "Alaska Daily" did best with seniors but it was way down with women and 18-49. Men just don't like ABC Thursdays.

A double dose of "Walker" (one present day, one historical) gives the CW a boost of sorts. Actually, considering "Bump" was in the slot, a big boost. However, whatever martial art is the subject of Kung Fu, that's what was done to The CW Wednesdays. And things are worse for "Stargirl" than they appear.

"The Masked Singer" is second to "Survivor" with 18-34, but let's face it. Everyone likes Chicago Wednesdays. If we remove NBC, then "Masked singer" is second with women, men, 18-49 and 25-54. And third with seniors.

"The Real Love Boat" sank.

The latest mystery decoded: Who stole our viewers? And I just checked and new episodes didn't help The CW much on Mondays. Tuesday hasn't happened yet, obviously, but last week did not look good.

"Bachelor in Paradise" does really well with 18-34 but women also like "The Voice' and "9-1-1".

CBS was up on Monday and I'm thinking fans of those shows weren't watching football this time. If the game's just on ESPN that tends to reduce the number of viewers.

"Monarch" and "Quantum Leap" keep going down but the commentary said "Quantum leap" was up, seeing as how that's always about 18-49.

I forgot one. "Rookie Feds" is also going downhill. So is "The Rookie". for that matter, but the season premiere did better, naturally.

The CW was actually doing better with animal videos and magic on Sunday.

Weird that a "Bob's Burgers" rerun beat a new one, but football always helps. I don't know why the "Simpsons" rerun gets two different numbers, one for the first 19 minutes and 11 for the rest.

I need to correct last week's. I somehow left "Thu" when I copied the "Wheel of Fortune" episode and changed the name. You knew it wasn't on Thursday.

I can't promise to be here this early next week.
