It's that time again.

"Smackdown" fell slightly in total viewers but of course it does very well with target audiences.

The Big East and Mountain West games began before prime time so the numbers are for the entire game. In the case of the Mountain West you can see the game ended 36 minutes into prime time, after which CBS aired two reruns of crime shows which were not specified on the site.

The CW continues to do reasonably well on Friday, though it could be doing better on Saturday. Two of the episodes are new.

[InsertBrainHere]

Chicago Wednesday was reruns but seniors still watch those series more than anything except "Survivor". Okay, "PD" loses to "The Masked Singer" and "The Conners".

"True Lies" and "Lingo" are a drag on CBS numbers. Yes, that's a reference to the host of the game show.

Look at CBS Thursdays! Has that first hour ever done better?

"Animal Control" needs to be pout out of its misery.

"The Flash" has a fake phone number if you see all three digits. "Walker" was a rerun and you can tell, and The CW just couldn't make the magic happen.

[InsertBrainHere]

You can tell CBS has reruns on Monday and Tuesday.

I wasn't aware "La Brea" had finished but I guess NBC was grateful.

"Night Court" ended its slide, so maybe it'll start doing better. The CW needs to stop doing so many reruns.

Fox has "9-1-1" which isn't quite where it was, but better than what it replaces.

That's it for this week.

Because I started doing Sunday through Saturday some time ago, I don't have The Oscars above but I do have the numbers if you want them. 18.8 million watched the show itself, and the Red Carpet had 4.6 million for the first half hour, 5.6 starting at 6:57 (I don't know why) and 7.9 starting at 7:27.

Some additional observations: "True Lies" got better numbers for a rerun than for the next new episode. Not a good sign. The similar-sounding "The Company You Keep" is doing worse.

"The Blacklist" is getting CW numbers with 18-34. Literally. The CW shows for Sunday have the same number of 18-34 viewers.

The NASCAR race number shown is for the entire race, not the last eight minutes.

Back next week.
