ABC had a quiet Friday as usual. A No Ordinary Family encore started things off and was down slightly in viewers but even in the demo from last week's encore. A repeat of Primetime: What Would You Do? pulled decent numbers. They should be better next week when the show's new season officially starts. Finally, 20/20 was up from both the 9pm and 10pm episodes last week. It seems to be a good idea to just leave it at 10pm and not try to have two hours or two episodes.

CBS had gains across the board. Medium remained the weak link but was up over half a million viewers and up three tenths in the demo from last week. It hit a season high in total viewers. CSI: NY followed and was also up half a million viewers a tenth in the demo. If it can stay above 10 million viewers and hit a 2 in the demo, CBS should be happy. Blue Bloods, which was recently given a full season order, reversed its trend and was also up close to a million viewers and a tenth in the demo. All in all, a solid Friday night for CBS.

NBC had a low evening. School Pride did not dip by much but it's debut last week was so low, it hardly matters. It was down a tenth in viewers and two tenths in the demo. At best, NBC will run the current 7 episodes and be done with this show. Dateline NBC followed and was down in both viewers and the demo to hit season lows. It seemed to be doing better from 8-10pm than 9-11pm. FOX was barely on the map with a repeat of House, down from last week, and The Good Guys which hit a season low in the demo with a barely-there 0.6.

SEASON IN REVIEW: 2017-18 Miscellaneous Awards

As usual, I am ending the season with a few miscellaneous awards. The blog will be quiet this summer but I will continue to do the week ahead posts with broadcast TV news as it happens this summer. Then I'll be back for previews, pilot reviews, and more in the fall! BEST RETURNING COMEDY Superstore (NBC) - Superstore was awarded my "Best Returning Comedy" last year, but it only got better in season three. The funniest ensemble on TV took another step forward with some truly hilarious moments (the season premiere, the Golden Globes party, and the Christmas episode to name a few) and some major plot points moving forward. It also has the potential to be surprisingly sentimental at times. I think back to the first year of the show and how I felt like it had so many funny elements but didn't always bring it completely together. Well now it does on a weekly basis and it is one of those shows that just seems to be in the sweet spot of what will hopefully be a long run. ...

EPISODE GUIDES: Happy Days Season Five (Part 1)

On Thursdays, I take a detailed and critical look at a TV show by season. Today I am looking at Season 5 (Part 1) of  Happy Days ! HAPPY DAYS: SEASON FIVE 1977-1978 27 episodes Season Five is the year where Fonzie infamously jumps the shark. It happens at the beginning of the season and while  Happy Days  does eventually decline in quality, it is not this season. In fact, this season graded out slightly higher than the previous season even though it doesn't feel as strong. I think that's because there's not a lot of outright stinkers in this season. It's a very solid season with the show continuing to hum along. There are some signs of the troubles to come but it doesn't happen on a regular basis in the fifth season. Starring Ron Howard as Richie Cunningham  (27 episodes) Henry Winkler as Arthur Fonzarelli  (27 episodes) Tom Bosley as Howard Cunningham  (27 episodes) Marion Ross as Marion Cunningham  (27 episodes) Anson Williams as Potsie Webber  ...

EPISODE GUIDES: That 70s Show Season Seven

On Thursdays, I go through classic series with a critical look at each season. Today I am looking at Season Seven of  That 70s Show ! THAT 70s SHOW: SEASON SEVEN 2004-2005 25 episodes The seventh season of  That 70s Show  is the final season with Topher Grace as a series regular and also the final full season for Ashton Kutcher. Despite still having both of those cast member, the show finds itself flailing especially with Topher Grace's Eric, who is stuck in a terrible arc for most of the season. The show also brings many characters back at one point or another but everything just feels tired. This season actually graded out the worst for me. Even worse than the often maligned final season (more on that next week). Every title this season is named for a Rolling Stones song. Starring Topher Grace as Eric Forman  (25 episodes) Mila Kunis as Jackie Burkhart  (25 episodes) Ashton Kutcher as Michael Kelso  (25 episodes) Danny Masterson as Steven Hyde  (25 e...
