Corrected rankings on last week's shows. Somehow I included Sunday
the 20th's numbers instead of the 27th's in the first posting of
this. So I goof every now and then, at least I admit it when it
happens.

Based on fast nationals.

Week Averages:

ABC 4.3
CBS 6.0
NBC 5.3
FOX 7.1
C W 1.4

Modified Observations:

ABC is still a loser of a No. 4 network, now with only 1 show in the
Top 20 instead of 3 that I thought they had in my erroneous version.

CBS actually has 10 in the Top 20 instead of 7 in my erroneous
version.

NBC still has 10 in the Top 30.

FOX is still pretty much the same throughout except for the absence of
the NFC game and post-game show in the Top 5 which appeared in the
erroneous version and the inclusion of its Sunday cartoons all ranking
between 38th and 50th place in this version.

CW is still mired in its own unchanged status quo of irrelevance.

No individual numbers were published for the following:
CBS on Saturday got a 3.5 average for its Super Bowl's Greatest
Commercials and 48 Hours.
FOX got a 3.9 average for a pair of Cops and America's Most Wanted.
For some reason, no numbers were registered for How I Met Your Mother,
The Big Bang Theory and The Unit.

Of course you know Nielsen is happy to do this for you? Is it that you
don't trust them? Have no patience to wait a few hours until you can
point out how badly everyone is doing? Desperately require some
busywork to fill your long, empty days?

Not often enough.

--- I always get the final numbers a week later, I'm just posting the
earlier fast nationals as a sneak preview.

--- Because I don't goof that often, just now and then, which isn't
that often.
