I've had some problem today but I got here, and hopefully the problems won't continue.

Now I just hope my plans for tomorrow will work out.

The Final Four is under way on CBS. Notice the times. Neither of the games took place entirely in prime time but the numbers are for each entire game.

"The Great American Joke Off" underperformed for The CW compared to "Whose Line" reruns, while "Penn & Teller" was new for a change, but that didn't seem to give the network much of a boost.

You can tell who was back after a break for basketball. And according to the commentary, "Sheldon" was actually down. I haven't compared but perhaps that was true for total viewers.

"Walker" and "Superman" fell slightly but "The Flash" seems way off. And no, NOT a rerun for "Riverdale". I thought that had been cancelled already and with these numbers, it should have been. Looking at target audiences, it does improve on 18-34 and women, is down slightly with men but is way off on seniors. I guess since its stars ae slightly younger. "Gotham Knights" is up slightly.

"The Rookie" is looking really good.

And that's it.

I don't know precisely what happened after the NASCAR race because it's not mentioned in the commentary. I guess there were two post-race shows. No one explains what a D means. The list is even shorter than it used to be, with S meaning special and R meaning repeat. And the number for "Next Level Chef" is for seven minutes. Why did they bother? As for the rest of the Fox programming, I quote the commentary: "The network didn’t give much of a push to the season premiere of HOUSEBROKEN which followed reruns ...."

"The Bachelor" had its finale. Despite beating "The Voice" by a narrow margin with 18-49 viewers, the finale was way down from last year's, which was in turn way down from the previous year's.

The next case for "Magnum, PI": find what happened to his viewers. The show is way down from when it was on CBS.

Speaking of CBS, the Women's Final Four was a great lead-in.

For some odd reason, the second animal video rerun does better than the first. I don't know why only one episode was listed for Saturday but it was a rerun as well.

Back next week hopefully at this time, but the holiday could mean a delay. And I hope I didn't mess up and do something terrible. So far tomorrow is looking good for me. Okay, fixed.
