CBS Mondays are just not slowing down this fall as every show was up or even this week (last week all but one show was up or even). At 8pm, How I Met Your Mother was even in viewers and up a tenth in the demo. New freshman hit 2 Broke Girls was down three tenths in viewers but up a tenth in the demo. This show is the real deal. Some think it should move to the 9:30 slot or with The Big Bang Theory on Thursday but why now? CBS finally has a hit, a big hit, in a slot that has been troublesome. At 9pm, Two and a Half Men grew for the first time this season as it was up two tenths in viewers and the demo. If this is where it is leveling off, it is up huge year-to-year. At 9:30pm, Mike & Molly was up a strong seven tenths in viewers and three tenths in the demo. To close out the night, Hawaii Five-0 was down four tenths in viewers and even in the demo. It doesn't do as well as the comedies but it has easily been winning the demo this week.

ABC started off with Dancing with the Stars which has settled into its audience after some early drops. It was down six tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo from last week. At 10pm, Castle was down four tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo. NBC wasn't even on the same field as ABC, CBS, and FOX as The Sing Off was down a tenth in viewers and the demo, hitting a series low in viewers. New newsmagazine Rock Center with Brian Williams launches next Monday at 10pm for NBC. FOX had good numbers from the World Series, which has been very steady from game to game.

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...
