You get a bonus this week. With the exception of the four football games (the ones that started before prime time are referred to as "overrun"), any shows with the numbers on the left are from this week, which will be last week when next week gets here. I don't know how much time I'll have next week.

On Friday the Tuesday and Wednesday numbers should be ready. After that, it's just whenever I have time, once the numbers are available.

"Run the Burbs" and even a "Whose Line" episode have a 1 as the first digit in the number of viewers.

Don't ask me why "Yellowstone" wasn't already on the CBS schedule. But "60 Minutes" got a big boost. "The Masked Singer" did not.

That's it until sometime next week when I have time. In fact, it may be a while before any further updates that I can post.

I have new numbers for "Monday Night Football". In addition to what you see above, ESPN had 9.4 million viewers. The kickoff show had 3.5 million and the post-game 4.6.

"The Swarm", according to the headline on the site I use, was "off to a decent start". Please. Although the 18-49 numbers didn't look all that bad for The CW. The rerun the next night scored a zero in the "share" column (that's something I haven't had on other sites), but total viewers rounded stayed the same. "Inside the NFL" looks more like it is outside.

"Big Brother" changed to two hours and did better. And certainly better than "Superfan". Why can't they always do that? It's not like there's a shortage of material.

"FBI Most Wanted" was once again least wanted. I don't know why the other two improved this week.

And there we are. I didn't think I'd have the time today, but everything worked out. And you got your numbers a day early.

Look at what happened with the CW shows. Isn't that amazing? No college football this week, though, so the numbers are down and the magicians made their viewers disappear.

"Sheldon" and "Ghosts" got a week off. Even the reruns of those do better than what replaced them. Technically, "Big Brother" did but then what replaced that didn't do as well.

Next week should be normal again.
