ABC was in repeats on the final Sunday in November. America's Funniest Home Videos were hardly affected at all and was in fact up in the demo from last week. However, dramas Desperate Housewives and Brothers & Sisters do not repeat well and were very low. CBS had no football overrun which of course negatively impacted 60 Minutes which was down a huge 5.6 million viewers and 1.8 in the demo. These numbers are probably closer to what it will get when football ends. The Amazing Race was up half a million viewers and two tenths in the demo as it nears its fall edition finale. Finally, the Hallmark Hall of Fame movie November Christmas was a success in total viewers but low in the demo as these movies typically are. Still, it was a good showing overall.

NBC had another successful night of football though the Chargers-Colts matchup was down a hefty 4.1 million viewers and 1.7 in the demo from last week's Giants-Eagles matchup. FOX had NFL overrun which was strong as always and helped the night - particularly The Simpsons, which was up a whopping 2.8 million viewers and 1.2 in the demo, hitting season highs in both categories. What a great showing for a show that is over 20 years old! The Cleveland Show benefited from the better lead-in and was up 2.3 million viewers and a full demo point, also hitting season highs. Family Guy however was a repeat and did not experience a bump though it came close to last week's first-run numbers. Finally, American Dad! moved in the right direction as it was up 1.2 million viewers and six tenths in the demo.

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...
