It's that time again.

Okay, I was inconsistent. There was one NBA game that ended 4 minutes into prime time, while the college hoops pre-game the same night ended 3 minutes into prime time. I'm not sure we need to include either. USA Today doesn't print these any more so I don't know what they would do.

Since I quit doing the most rent Sunday when Saturdays were missing a few years ago from whatever source I used, let me just say since they are available that the AFC championship had 53.1 million viewers, and the post-game 24.3. The NFC Championship had 47.5 million viewers but won't be listed next week because that was the afternoon game and ended before 7.

Don't know how to explain this if the funny animal videos last week were new. But they were new again this week at 9, and the number just kept going up even for the rerun that followed.

You can tell who is doing reruns.

I hope I don't have to go back and fix something from last week, but I do see some shows that may be missing.

[InsertBrainHere]

So I was right. Somehow I left out "The Price is Right" last week even though it has been on for weeks. Normally that only happens when a show didn't air the previous week. Fixed now.

"The Bachelor" does very well with young people who don't like "The Neighborhood". That show drops off sharply the younger you get but it beats "The Bachelor" with 18-49. Still very high numbers for both.

"American Auto" loses a lot of "Night Court" viewers, and that show is down from its spectacular debut.

[InsertBrainHere]

And that's it.

Look at how few football games there were this week. Just one in prime time. But it got huge numbers.

With football over, the big numbers are going away.

I noticed "Smackdown" got more viewers than usual, but it get huge numbers anyway with the right audiences.

I didn't notice whether the second "Accused" was a rerun, but oy did it get big numbers on Sunday after the game.

Back next week at this time.
