Walker: Similar to All American, it came back in April and had to air into the summer after having a fairly normal regular season-only schedule last year. The full season trend was better than All American's because it didn't fall off as much in the summer eps (and also had fewer of them than AA). I'm defaulting to another Grade: C but it was not enough for another season on a network that would much prefer acquired scripted series.

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.
