Here I am. I wasn't sure what would happen this week, but I was able to be here. Next week isn't looking so good, but when I get through here, I can do Sunday and Monday for next week. The shows that still have a number on the left will be from this week.

Just a note about sports: I didn't say this about golf last week but Sunday sports broadcasts don't start in prime time, and the sites I use now only show prime time shows even on weekends and holidays, but I don't know what the numbers actually mean. I just include what the site I used said.

Did that woman on "MasterChef" actually have blue hair?

Football is back! A regular season game will get way more viewers than any of those shows delayed due to the strike.

And there's nothing on Saturday night except football. None of those games did particularly well but The CW is a participant and it looks like a football game will be their number one show of the week.

However, it must be a game. I have no idea what NBC did on Wednesday. Didn't work.

"Superfan" wasn't even worth mentioning in the headline. In the commentary by the person responsible for the list, though, it was actually up but she deals with 18-49 and I only do total viewers.

Things got so bad on The CW that they bumped "Bump". Didn't help. Also, the children have ruined everything, as the number of viewers couldn't have gotten any lower without the first digit being a 1. "Son of a Critch" did reasonably well, so it got a second night even if those were reruns.

What, no "NCIS"? Even reruns of that do very well. Instead CBS just did the spinoffs.

FBI's "Most Wanted" still is. Fewer people watched it the first time so they finally got around to it. That's my theory.

One good thing: people forgot they didn't watch "The Lyrics" the first time.

That's it for this week.

In just a few minutes, Sunday and Monday from next week. Tuesday's numbers aren't updated yet so I'd rather not do them. I hope to remember Tuesday and Wednesday on Friday, and then I'll try to get the rest when I can.

"The Chosen" was way down for its season finale. I don't get why the episodes can be an hour one week and 90 minutes the next, but maybe that's what's causing the problem. Total numbers did not change.
