While the numbers in general are up from the last month, there was not a lot of change from last week. However, that isn't the biggest problem that many networks will face in the coming weeks. Their decisions will come from having to shorten the seasons of some shows and having to reformat others (particularly live shows like American Idol and The Voice). Also, they will have to decide whether some low-rated shows should be spared for now since they will have to make blind decisions on potential new shows. Anyway, all I'm saying is expect a lot of reruns, clip shows, shows without reunions and throwaway shows, specials and movies that were already filmed but initially passed on. Nobody knows when this thing will pass.

Looking at this week's numbers points towards something I commented on last week. There's probably one show that experienced a larger than normal drop, but in general, most shows did see a slight increase from last week. As the quarantines mount, there may be something to people at least tuning into their favorite shows live.

Generally speaking, the numbers do not look dramatically different from last week. Unlike most weeks, I don't know what to make of this kind of stability. I'll explain.

Not including a picture today. The post is already a little late because of delays and I'm already pressed for time. I purposely waited to see the Black Lightning finale numbers. You may already know that the show has been renewed for a fourth season. Going by the numbers this season, don't be surprised if there's an announcement sometime over the next several months that the next season will perhaps be the last. I also wouldn't be shocked if it doesn't make the fall schedule.

I'm back and I'll admit I've paid attention to no ratings in the time I was gone. I just hope I remembered everything and kept these shows in the best order that I could put them in.

The Super Bowl was up from last year, but still nowhere near its highs from several years ago. I'm not entirely sure it's a matchup issue. I think the NFL got the game they wanted, the halftime act wasn't the worst (but I have no suggestions there, I never watch halftime), and I'm not entirely sure that the TV environment allows for those record highs anymore. I can't say it will never happen again, but with ratings down everywhere, it's hard to see things setting records in the future.

On a personal note, I'm taking the rest of the month off from these posts. I'll update the VH1 numbers at some point, but some very important personal obligations are going to keep me away from here.

There were no premieres, returns or finales for any of the shows on the list this week. That means it was an uncharacteristically quiet week during a time where absolutely nothing else in society followed that trend.
