It's that time again. A lot to explain today. First, I somehow messed up last week and didn't correct the number of viewers when I copied. Now it's fixed. The rank did not change. Also, somehow the nice neat list for The CW somehow wasn't nice and neat last week and I couldn't fix it.

"Family Law" crossed the line this week and may be number one for The CW. That's not saying much. At least the previous Saturday's disaster was less of one.

The first "Crimetime" was "NCIS: Hawaii" but it was shown as new. By definition, the Saturday episodes are reruns. The second one was "Blue Bloods".

And Saturday's shows were listed by network, not time.

Another mistake corrected from last week. I wondered why "Masterchef" was shown as being on Saturday when there was baseball. I should have wondered why it had so many viewers on a Saturday. It was, in fact, in its normal slot.

Someone forgot to remove "Run the Burbs" from Thursday but there were no numbers with it. I suspect "Fight to Survive", which is exactly what The CW is doing, was an hour. Those shows always are.

"Big Brother" is on multiple nights now. I wondered why they weren't doing that. I also wonder why no Friday episode.

Another correction. I don't know how I messed up the spelling once of a show that appeared four times.

Except for "Son of a Critch", which isn't doing spectacularly well, The CW on Mondays is a disaster. Especially the show that ends the night. They need to "Bump" that show.

I'm suspicious of the soccer numbers. Preliminary numbers are not supposed to match when different numbers are normally shown for the first hour and the second. And yet the final numbers, which would normally match, do not.

Too many shows are reruns. Competitions and game shows need to be the new episodes right now.

Well, for what it's worth, that's it. People just aren't watching TV, and with the strike, football is the only hope.

Lass than 4 million viewers total is a hit.

I'm very suspicious of the "Pyramid" numbers. They are the same, with three digits beyond the decimal, for both episodes, and even the same with two digits for 18-49. And the 10:00 episode was a rerun, regardless of what the site says. I'm going to investigate and come back if there's anything to report.

Edit: While it is quite a difficult site to use, I did finally find the correct number for the second "Pyramid". Also, a headline on that site said "'Superfan' has no fans."

Forgot to mention "The Bachelorette". It's looking a little better with total viewers and it's doing quite well compared to other Monday shows with 18-49.
