For Sunday in the fall, the CW resurrected '90s Nickelodeon game show Legends of the Hidden Temple. While it handily outrated last year's imported dramas, it still did not get the night to a competitive place with any of the other weeknights.

The winter had the last episodes of Hidden Temple, plus the end of the docu-drama March which launched to poor results on Monday. The 9/8c hour had season three of the low-priority filler Two Sentence Horror Stories.

Legends of the Hidden Temple: Kinda hard to know what to do with CW Sunday shows, but we do know it handily outrated last year's import drama Pandora and was clearly a lot weaker than the superhero shows. Not good, and it got the axe, but sadly the CW has proven they can do even worse. Grade: C-.

Riverdale: Already updated.

The names in this last table link to the shows' War of 18-49 pages. Links with an asterisk(*) have been updated with the new info. Updates to younger shows will come later in the summer.
