There was mostly new episodes with some specials and repeats on Sunday night. On ABC, America's Funniest Home Videos was up three tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo from its last new airing. At 8pm, Once Upon a Time was down seven tenths in viewers and four tenths in the demo, hitting series lows. This was the first sizable drop but it's still a good performance all and the drop isn't too surprising with the end of Thanksgiving Weekend. The first Hallmark Hall of Fame movie to air on ABC was low in the demo just like on CBS but the total viewership was much worse too. It doesn't seem like the Hallmark brand fits on ABC. A NFL overrun lasted nearly an hour for CBS thanks to an overtime game in San Diego. 60 Minutes immediately followed except on the West Coast and was up a nice 2.5 million viewers and eight tenths in the demo. The Amazing Race was even in viewers and up a tenth in the demo.


Over on NBC, the Sunday Night Football tilt between the Chiefs and Steelers was up slightly from last week's Eagles-Giants game. Over on FOX, the cartoons were all down from last week to season lows as this lineup is really struggling this year. First off, The Cleveland Show was down two tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo. The Simpsons followed down two tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo. At 8:30pm, Allen Gregory slipped another seven tenths in viewers and a rough four tenths in the demo for series lows. Should FOX even air the two final episodes made? This show is a huge bomb. At 9pm, Family Guy was down half a million viewers and four tenths in the demo as it is falling apart this season. Finally at 9:30pm, American Dad! was down three tenths in viewers and two 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...
