It's that time again.

A couple of problems: The WNBA All-Star Game had a different number for 10:00 than it did earlier. I don't suppose anyone really cares, but I used the numbers for 8:30 and 9:00. They just went down from there. Traditional lists of the most popular shows show one number for the entire event.

Also, the date was July 16, not 15. Right above it are the numbers for Sunday the 16th. How has no one noticed this?

All CW shows went down except "Whose Line" which went up for its 9:00 hour, ironically after a lead-in for which the first digit in the number of viewers is 1. Not such a great geek year, is it? And "Moonshine" also declined to a number that starts with 1.

This week's Crimetime, whose viewer numbers are evil, is "NCIS: Hawai'i".

I messed up. I forgot to change the date on one of Gordon Ramsay's episodes. They were both reruns, though, and neither one did well. It's good to see new episodes back this week.

Not much to say, really. The ABC game shows do reasonably well, and the reruns do as expected. CBS is near the top of the list with "Price Is Right" reruns.

"Blacklist" did slightly better for its series finale, though the second half did not live up to the first.

It's not the FBI's "Most Wanted" but it is more wanted when it is rerun time because fewer people saw it the first time. Probably.

Baseball's All-Star Game was a definite improvement over what Fox usually airs.

I got the Gordon Ramsay problem fixed.

Wow. This is what it's like now. With the strikes (yes, now it's strikes) it doesn't look there's much hope for things to get better, except football is coming soon.

Those are new episodes of "Housebroken".

And look at The CW. Has it ever been worse?

I'll be here next week.
