I don't usually load up the list with finales (specifically finales preceding reunion shows) and specials, but I'm doing this week because I'm taking the next 2 weeks off. I'll update the ratings posts during my time off.

I'm usually more enthusiastic about the Super Bowl, but I think the archives of this site show that I am never here for the Patriots winning anything.

The Monday numbers were delayed a little, but they are here now.

For a moment, I thought I was going to be really late with getting this up. Instead, I'm on time. I will say that I didn't quite catch the full total viewers for Grimm and The Vampire Diaries this week.

An extra day only made me more sluggish this week.

I'm finally back from my break that didn't turn out to be a break because I spent at least half of it being sick and another 2 weeks of it having computer issues. Hopefully, I'm still sharp at this.

I didn't post ratings last week and I have no intention of making it up. That wicked combination of family commitments, holidays, a backlog of work and a dwindling choice of ratings means that I should probably just shut down the ratings posts for the last 6 weeks of the year. I'll continue to update the VH1 Ratings Post every Tuesday and I'll be back the first week of 2017.
