And it's that time again.

There is a controversy. I went to report it. There are comments like here (by the way, you guys could sign up and make comments here. That's what it's for.) and someone was very pleased at how well the new CW Friday shows were doing. No, there were corrections in the comments when someone doubted. What happened is that the show above "Family Law" got the exact same number, with three digits beyond the decimal, as the show above it. Impossible. Especially considering it's The CW. It has been a while since any CW show did that well. Then "Moonshine" got the exact same number, with three digits beyond the decimal, as the show below it. No CW show has done that well since "Walker" when it began, and believe me, I doubted. I don't know whether anyone will bother to correct the numbers. But the person who responded to the one who doubted got the correct number from somewhere, and that's what I put here. Rounded, of course.

This week, "Crimetime" is original "NCIS".

If it is the "Greatest Geek Year Ever", it's certainly not the greatest CW night ever. Any lower and it would have been 0.2.

One thing I forgot to mention, and I suppose no one will care. Nothing was listed for the first hour on Saturday for NBC.

Penn & Teller made not only their viewers, but Walker's viewers, disappear! Wednesday, no change.

It is never explained what "Mission: Impossible" means but as I recall CBS aired one of the movies in the series, probably because a new one is in theaters or will be soon. Must be some kind of preview special because it lasted 30 minutes.

"Ghosts" and "Smackdown" swapped places. Total viewers for "Smackdown" are the most in memory.

The way I believe Macy's Fireworks works is this. The first two hours are live. The third hour is a recap of the highlights which are not live. And yet this site I am using shows both versions in blue with the letter L.

Nancy Drew has a mystery to solve on Mondays. Who stole her viewers? It appears that won't be a problem in a few weeks as there will be new episodes of something else.

It looks like "Family Law" will get the title of most watched show on The CW now that no superhero shows are airing new episodes. The always dependable animal videos actually got fewer viewers, so it's not just that they are last alphabetically.

"The Bachelorette" is not looking good and that includes 18-49. That number and total viewers are the only ones on the site I use now.

I have to make a fix to last week and maybe the previous week. That's why I took longer to finish than I planned to.

Edit: Rather than do it on the appropriate threads and have to move this one back to the top, I will say it here. I had no record of which Disney movie aired June 18. I remembered that "Cinderella" was on but that's because June 25 had already happened, and I used to do Sunday numbers the next Wednesday, before there was a time when I didn't have any Saturday numbers. That has been fixed now. "Toy Story 2" did not in fact air twice. But the newspaper lists NBA Finals Game 7, which did not happen, on June 18. The web site I went to for June 18 only said "Wonderful World of Disney" and there was no room for anything else, and the commentary merely said "Reruns". But I tried the site I use now and it said "Up". That too has been fixed.

Found the superheros. The CW has just given up on Sunday nights, so there's where they moved reruns of those shows.

"Tough As Nails" did better on Friday than Sunday. Maybe CBS should just stick to crime on both nights.

ABC will soon have game shows. Two have already come back and are doing reasonably well. and no one seems to car if a video show is a rerun as long as it is in its normal slot.

Back next week.
