It's that time again.

ABC should really have the NBA instead of the NHL whenever possible.

I had to do some research because the commentary didn't explain "Com&Mus Super".

People have pretty much quit watching TV.

I found a really bad mistake I have to fix. If you really care, you know what network the show is on, but it's one of that network's top shows, so this should have never happened.

As we get closer to the Indy race, the documentary gets more popular. Not significantly more, but at least better than "Riverdale", which has a 1 as the fist digit in the number of viewers. Young people hate "The Game Show Show" (whatever that is) but not as much as they hate a certain CW show about people their age. Meanwhile, "The Flash" series finale didn't exactly speed out of the gate, as they say in horse racing. It's worse than it looks. And "Walker" reruns look like they were beaten up by Chuck Norris.

NBC is going to miss Chicago Wednesdays and they're not even trying on Thursdays. How many times can people watch "Magnum" reruns?

"Survivor", in terms of total viewers, got voted off the island. The target audience numbers look better, but this was the three-hour finale!

"Jeopardy Masters" may get the top spot this week. But ABC got pranked.

Wow. I had to fix two weeks.

So I was wrong about "Jeopardy Masters". CBS took the prize with "FBI" and "NCIS" (and "60 Minutes" might beat them both). For some reason I thought both would have finished their seasons.

No matter when it is on, "20/20" seems to get approximately the same number of viewers.

Shazam beat Fox and it looks like they forgot the lyrics.

There it is. I don't know when I ever saw such a bad week. And The CW is almost as bad as I've ever seen it. Shows that are tied, though, are listed alphabetically. I don't bother to list shows in order by viewers once I've rounded the number. "Whose Line" is last alphabetically but it was almost as close to making it to 0.3 as it is possible to get. The Indy documentary rerun just barely made it to 0.2--any lower and it would have still been 0.1.

"American Idol" almost got the top spot, but as I predicted, "60 Minutes" actually did.

"NCIS: Los Angeles" got a boost from its finale, but the special about the show apparently wasn't worth staying around for.

Next week maybe new summer shows will help the situation but I have a feeling there will be lots of reruns.

Edit: Oh, look at my number of posts. I'm being patriotic today. Two days late.
