Took me a while, but here I am.

You wouldn't believe how busy I've been. And yes, it's related to what happened last week.

[InsertBrainHere]

A "Riverdale" rerun? Really? Well, at least it didn't do any worse. Penn & Teller improved on "Indy", while Nancy Drew must solve the mystery of who stole her viewers.

Not big numbers but lots of episodes of "Ghosts".

I don't know who came up with the crazy idea of golf at night during the week. It did okay on Saturday, though.

The "star" wasn't very "super".

[InsertBrainHere]

Yikes! I don't particularly want to do the research, but has there ever been a lower number for a first-run episode of a scripted show? And "Rising" is falling.

Superman was not attacked with kryptonite but it was a rerun. Same for "Gotham" which had a 1 as its first digit.

It's a shame basketball is over. But I assume that means an end to the numerous game show reruns as ABC can finally do new episodes.

And the Stars are stuck on Mars. While the Kitchen is a Crime Scene.

[InsertBrainHere]

There we go. "Indy" scored about as low as it could and still get a 2. Otherwise "Barons" would have company.

A really bad week for The CW, and not a lot of people watching TV, at least not broadcast traditional TV. Looks like a long summer while we wait for the writers to get back to work.

I'll try to do better next week.

Don't know what will happen the week of the Fourth. Probably the numbers will be ready. And I'll have time that day if they are. If not, I'll do what I can.
