I'm really early today. In addition to being early this week. I didn't give in to the temptation to wait just a few minutes which turns into hours.

Also, I have several fixes to make from last week.

New entry for "Crimetime" this week: "NCIS: Sydney". I knew that was coming but not this soon. Since it was a rerun, I just chose to call it by the name USA Today used to use for Saturday reruns.

Wow, college football did well on The CW! The headline probably referred to the 18-49 number which was spectacular. Usually with CW shows, that number has a zero after the decimal.

I have three fixes to do for last week. Also, for two weeks ago, "Sullivan's Crossing" was in fact listed on a site I no longer use, and that was added.

I have to make several more fixes to last week's, and one of them was an important fix since there is no "regular" night for one of the shows.

"Ghosts UK" made a strong debut considering there was not much of a lead-in. Second episode fell off, but that usually happens.

The CW shows for Wednesday are up, and I have read that "Run the Burbs" and "Everyone Else Burns" are cancelled. Things improved once those two were off the schedule.

Looking really good for The CW on Tuesdays. Who would have believed those numbers would look good? Actually, since the first episode is new, maybe not.

On the other hand, on Monday night, the magicians made their viewers disappear. And animal videos are no longer a guarantee of anything. Those are new episodes.

"NCIS: Sydney" is looking really good.

And that's it. I had to look on the other site again for "Sullivan's Crossing", which was not listed on my usual site. I don't know what happened to the episode that aired after the one which was "Chosen" by fewer people this week.

I wondered what in the world happened to "The Simpsons". The numbers were lower for football and the post-game show but not that much lower. Oh. Still not enough of a benefit, in the view of someone who posted. And the strategy ended up hurting "The Simpsons" which has long gotten a boost from football.

ABC's strategy of showing movies isn't working, and if the movie is too short, things just get worse.

Who knows what happens next week. We know a holiday will delay the numbers but I will be here Wednesday next week with whatever I can find.

Happy holiday!
