ABC's magical ratings for Once Upon a Time are showing no signs of slowing down. On Sunday night, the news was great again as the show was down just a tenth in viewers and even in the demo. Through four episodes, it has dropped a mere 1.5 million viewers and two tenths in the demo, which is awesome for any drama, particularly a high concept serial one. The show seems to also have a halo effect on the rest of the lineup. Earlier in the night, America's Funniest Home Videos was up seven tenths in viewers and two tenths in the demo for a season high. At 9pm, Desperate Housewives was up half a million viewers and two tenths in the demo while Pan Am was up four tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo. Pan Am has really leveled off but it's probably still too low.

Elsewhere, CBS was up or even in the demo across the board with its older-skewing Sunday night. At 7pm, 60 Minutes was down three tenths in viewers but up two tenths in the demo. At 8pm, The Amazing Race was up six tenths in viewers but even in the demo, kind of the opposite trend of 60 Minutes, which is odd. At 9pm, The Good Wife was up 1.1 million viewers yet even in the demo. This show is nothing if not consistent, it has had a 2.0 demo for four consecutive weeks. At 10pm, CSI: Miami rebounded some from last week's low as it was up 1.1 million viewers and two tenths in the demo.

Over on NBC, a Sunday night tilt between the Jets and Patriots was down a bit from last week's Steelers-Ravens game which is sort of surprising. FOX was powered by a football lead-in again this week. At 8pm, The Simpsons was down half a million viewers and three tenths in the demo. New cartoon Allen Gregory was down a tenth in viewers and the demo for a series low. This show shouldn't even really finish its run because it's bringing down the night. At 9pm, Family Guy was up two tenths in viewers and the demo. This show isn't the demo star it has been in recent years. At 9:30pm, American Dad! was even in viewers and down a tenth 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...
