It's that time again.

No, "Grand Crew" was not a rerun. But its lead-in was.

"Whose Line" improved as if the episode was new after a rerun the previous week, but last week's was not labelled as a rerun.

I have a correction to make to last week. The CW list is correct but the general list is not.

Don't know what happened with the USFL. The commentary lists one game. I assume the third program is the post-game show.

[InsertBrainHere]

I found another mistake in last week's. I know "9-1-1" is an hour so how did I make that mistake?

No, "Riverdale" was not a rerun, but its lead-in was. Seriously, can't The CW do something other than so many reruns?

"Animal Control" wasn't a rerun either. "Welcome to Flatch" was.

You can tell who was doing reruns this week and who wasn't. I don't know why "The Conners" was the only rerun on Wednesday night.

Reminder: "Crimetime" is USA Today's name for unidentified CBS drama reruns. The site I use doesn't identify them either and calls them "CBS Wednesday encore" or "CBS Saturday encore".

Mondays are back on CBS, and NBC decided on reruns. In fact, Monday through Thursday is reruns on NBC ... no, wait, "Night Court" is not labelled as a rerun. It's just doing that poorly after such a great start, and "America Auto" has stalled.

"The Flash" really should not be doing reruns. The first digit is 1. Even the one night of superheroes that was doing well has fallen off ever so slightly.

[InsertBrainHere]

And that's it.

Just to clarify, the first digit for "The Flash" is 1 on Monday, not Tuesday, but you could figure that out.

Interesting developments for "Will Trent". It seems the 18-34 audience doubles for the second one even though the total number of viewers is unchanged, even with three digits beyond the decimal.

"Grey's Anatomy" needs to go. A 2-hour episode got fewer viewers than last week's one-hour episode.

"Funniest Home Videos" was off but this was explained in the commentary. No basketball.

Not sure what happened with NASCAR but as with golf, keep in mind the number for the first program is for the entire program, not just what takes place in prime time. There are two programs after the race which I would assume are post-game shows, but I don't know why there are two.

Back next week.
