It was another iffy night for broadcast TV in the midst of November sweeps. NBC had the second season premiere of Whitney which got a timeslot upgrade when Animal Practice was cancelled. Though it posted better numbers than Animal, it did not do well as it tied its series low from last year's ho-hum ratings. Very few thought it would do very well but it should have been able to at least match the 1.6 its season finale got. The multi-cam lead-in didn't help Guys with Kids much as it was up three tenths in viewers but even in the demo from the last airing. At 9pm, Law & Order: SVU was down three tenths in viewers and even in the demo. Chicago Fire came back to earth in a big way after The Voice lead-in last week. It was down 1.2 million viewers and six tenths in the demo as it looks like The Voice viewers didn't like what they saw.

ABC was down across the board after rising across the board last week. At 8pm, The Middle was down two tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo as it had the smallest week to week drop. At 8:30pm, The Neighbors dropped a tenth in viewers and two tenths in the demo, tying a series low. Considering how the Tuesday comedies are doing though, this show is doing just fine. At 9pm, Modern Family was down half a million viewers and two tenths in the demo while Suburgatory was hit the hardest as it was down half a million viewers and a big half a demo point. At 10pm, Nashville was down two tenths in viewers and the demo, tying a series low on the heels of its full season renewal. 

On CBS, Survivor started off down two tenths in viewers and the demo. Criminal Minds was up a tenth in viewers and the demo. CSI was one of the few shows to rise as it was up seven tenths in viewers and two tenths in the demo. Against the new dramas on ABC and NBC, CSI has emerged as a clear and consistent ratings winner in this hour. FOX aired The X Factor and without competing against The Voice, it was up 1.2 million viewers and three tenths in the demo for its best Wednesday showing since October 10.

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...
