On Monday night, ABC started with the final performance night of Dancing with the Stars. Though it was up 1.6 million viewers and three tenths in the demo from last week, it was down a very big 4.1 million viewers and 1.4 demo points from last fall's final performance show. All season long, this show has been way down and it looks like the finale will be no exception. At 9pm, the news was not good as You Deserve It got off to a worse start than last fall's instant bomb Skating with the Stars. Looks like ABC will be looking for a new filler next December. At 10pm, Castle was down two tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo from its last new airing which isn't a bad showing considering it didn't have a Dancing lead-in. Maybe it is becoming more self-sufficient.

Over on CBS, everything was down some but still solid. At 8pm, How I Met Your Mother was down four tenths in viewers and two tenths in the demo. At 8:30pm, 2 Broke Girls was down half a million viewers and two tenths in the demo, still building on its lead-in and being very strong. At 9pm, Two and a Half Men was actually up a million viewers but down two tenths in the demo, which seems like an odd showing. At 9:30pm, Mike & Molly followed suit as it was up nine tenths in viewers but down two tenths in the demo. Finally at 10pm, Hawaii Five-0 was down 1.1 million viewers and a big half a demo point. The demo is a season low, but it still easily won the 10pm hour.


Over on NBC, The Sing Off was up a tenth in viewers and the demo while Rock Center with Brian Williams was down three tenths in viewers and two tenths in the demo. The demo is a series low for this non-starter newsmagazine and it's sure to get killed in its new Wednesday slot. On FOX, Terra Nova was down half a million viewers and two tenths in the demo. After some ups and downs, this show is sliding towards its season finale in December. At 9pm, House rebounded a bit in total viewers as it was up nine tenths in viewers but it was still even 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...
