CBS Monday just continues to deliver unbelievable ratings as every show was up this week yet again. At 8pm, How I Met Your Mother was up a tenth in viewers and two tenths in the demo, posting its best demo rating since the season premiere. It is shocking how well this show is performing year-to-year. At 8:30pm, 2 Broke Girls continued to cement its breakout hit status as it was up four tenths in viewers and two tenths in the demo for its best performance yet at 8:30pm. Everyone is talking about CBS splitting this night up, but why? Save it for next year because 8:30pm hasn't been this strong in years. At 9pm, Two and a Half Men was up a tenth in viewers and two tenths in the demo while Mike & Molly was up three tenths in viewers and two tenths in the demo for its best performance since the season premiere. At 10pm, Hawaii Five-0 was up 1.4 million viewers and two tenths in the demo. The viewer total is the best since the season premiere. CBS Monday is just rocking it from top to bottom.

Meanwhile on ABC, Dancing with the Stars was down two tenths in viewers and the demo from last week ahead of next week's finale. At 10pm, a special 20/20 that had the first interview with Gabby Giffords since she was shot last January did well, particularly in total viewers as expected. FOX started things off with Terra Nova, which was down eight tenths in viewers and three tenths in the demo. Every time the show looks like it might be doing well enough to come back, it has a troubling drop. At 9pm, House was down a million viewers and three tenths in the demo, hitting a series low in total viewers. It's time for FOX to say goodbye to this show after this season. It's starting to collapse hard in the ratings after a couple years on the decline.

NBC continued to be off the map. The Sing Off was down a tenth in viewers and two tenths in the demo for a series low. This show has completely tanked in its first non-December run. At 10pm, Rock Center with Brian Williams was up four tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo. It could have been higher especially since they had Bob Costas interviewing disgraced Penn State assistant coach Jerry Sandusky. Rock Center will move to Wednesdays at 9pm in 2012 while NBC is banking big on The Voice/Smash reigniting this night starting in February.

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...
