You may notice something different this week if you're one of the first ones here. I scrolled down too far. So as I scrolled back up after realizing I was on the wrong Saturday, I started with Sunday. Fox's older animated comedies do get a few more viewers. Meanwhile, ABC isn't trying very hard, airing two reruns of one of its game shows.

I substituted the correct date in Saturday's numbers and got Saturday. There are no final numbers for "Stand Up to Cancer", and the preliminary numbers for other shows are way overestimating what the final numbers will be. I don't know that there's a point in looking to see if anyone published final numbers.

And The CW ended up with another disaster. Here I thought the chocolate show got more viewers because it was all that was on.

Monday nights on The CW keep getting worse. Now the one show that was getting almost decent ratings isn't.

Even "America's Got Talent" isn't doing great. And "The Bachelorette" can't even do well with 18-49.

CBS reruns do quite well for some reason. I mean for reruns. And ABC has "AFV", which in its normal slot never seems to go down.

"Fight to Survive" is exactly what The CW is doing. At least "Riverdale" is over after tonight.

I need to double check. "So Help Me Todd" wasn't listed and I seriously doubt a show doing as poorly as "Superfan" gets two hours.

ABC got pranked.

Not done just yet. I got distracted and haven't verified that "Superfan" was indeed two hours. Or checked on final numbers for "Stand Up to Cancer".

[InsertBrainHere]

Okay, now I'm done. The "Stand Up to Cancer" numbers were way off. In the words of the site I used to find the final numbers, "abysmal".

"Todd" did air, as you can see. And "Superfan", the site said, "gets even more embarrassing".

Back next week.
