I'm afraid I can't be here until Friday, unless I post the numbers now. And thanks to the holiday, Friday and Saturday aren't ready yet.

The practitioner of Kung Fu was defeated this week. Also, Special Forces are even less special, and Tough As Nails isn't so tough after all.

"Walker" is back and doing okay but not great, for that show.

[InsertBrainHere]

I had to correct a show title last week. I assume "Homecoming" is a spinoff of "All American". I somehow didn't get the title right in the list of CW shows. 3Sheets did that separate list so I still do. And let me tell you the rerun this week did about as poorly as anything on The CW ever did. 5000 fewer viewers and it would have had 0.1.

This week's mystery? Once again, who stole our viewers?

CBS really needs to do what it did on Monday last week. But the sitcoms do so well I guess they don't want to mess with that. What they could do is move "Todd" to 10:00 replacing "Vegas" and out the Monday shows there.

The Golden Globes did no better than the 2021 Zoom broadcast, and were way down from a broadcast with a football lead-in back when there was no COVID.

Tuesday night on ABC was way down from last week. I guess moving "The Rookie" didn't help that much.

[InsertBrainHere]

That's it until Friday and Saturday numbers are ready. If you see a number on the left, except for number one because surely that football game will not be exceeded, it's a number from last week.

Another correction is needed for last week. But you know when a show airs in a slot that is not its usual one.

It's unusual for a late game on CBS to have such a low number but it was labeled as "regional" not "national". CBS had a national game early (which did much better) and Fox had one late. And it's time for the reminder that the number for a game that ends in prime time is the number for the entire game, not the ending.

See you soon, if I remember.

[InsertBrainHere]

And that's it. This is actually close to the normal time.

I was right not to expect the football numbers to stay the same, and in fact, Saturday's NBC playoff game could have ended up being the number one show of the week. The name of the preceding show was not complete since the site doesn't have room, but I assume it was "Football Night in America", which airs during prime time on Sundays. In the case of Saturday, the show started outside of prime time and the entire show's number is what is shown.

The top 10 shows: all football.

"Miss Universo" was on Telemundo with 2.4 million viewers, though this has always been an English language thread. I assume, then, that it was on Saturday, and also not on English language broadcast TV. I didn't even know it would be on until I saw news headlines saying who the winner was.

Interesting phenomenon with the CW shows. It is the second episode of "Whose Line" and the animal videos that gets more viewers in some cases. The video show was even labeled as new, and it still got fewer viewers than the rerun! And Criss Angel made his viewers reappear. Well, a few of them.

CBS is getting huge numbers (well, not "NCIS", "FBI" or "Chicago" numbers, but it's Friday) on Friday. And I assume "Harry" means the son of the king. Not a lot of viewers but I guess it's a rerun of the "60 Minutes" broadcast that did really well.

Back next week at this time.
