Took me a while, but here I am.

Two unusual choices for "Crimetime" this week: "So Help Me Todd" and "Fire Country".

I can only hope the two CW series on Saturday did better during the week. Friday night started out great but the second group of magicians made their viewers disappear.

Wow! People really wanted to see the NBC dramas.

Good start for "Wild Cards" but "Family Law" lost its case.

I see a correction I need to make to last week. You all know there's no such show as "Chicago PD Med". I somehow forgot to remove the "Med".

When an awards show gets numbers this low, you wonder how long the awards show will be around. Then again, few broadcast series won and you have to wonder how many people cared.

23 million low for streaming? That's spectacular. An article on the site I use for these numbers said a number that low was proof no playoff game should be on Peacock, which has no free tier now. Seems high to me. On the other hand, look what Fox got on Saturday.

Well, that took way longer than it should have, but it is done.

I'll try not to let that happen again, but I know of one time where it will again in a couple of weeks. Knowing this in advance, I may be able to get it done early.

Good numbers for The CW when they aired an awards show.

I didn't think it was possible for Fox not to be number one with its Saturday night game. But the final hour of its Sunday game did better. I have access to last Sunday's, which had 50 million viewers, but I had to change Monday through Sunday to Sunday through Saturday when I couldn't find Saturday numbers, and it just seemed more logical. I'll have NFC Championship numbers next week but not in the main list. I no longer get to see numbers from the afternoon game but I'll look for those too. And of course the week of The Super Bowl I'll give you those too, even though they won't be in the main list for another week.

I'll surely be here earlier next week.
