On Sunday night, all the networks were mostly new. On ABC, America's Funniest Home Videos was down three tenths in viewers and four tenths in the demo. This show could definitely be a victim of Daylight Savings. At 8pm, Once Upon a Time was up two tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo but it's still a shell of what it was last season or earlier this season. The best news for ABC came from Revenge which rebounded again as it was up a million viewers and two tenths in the demo. Just two episodes ago, it got a 1.4 demo against the Grammys so it seems to be headed back in the right direction. The worst news came at 10pm where Red Widow fell on its face, done 1.8 million viewers and four tenths in the demo to a pitiful 1.1 demo. Will it even last the full season? Both 8pm Thursday and 10pm Sunday are big trouble for ABC so why do they keep putting mediocre new shows there?

Over on NBC, week two of Celebrity Apprentice was down two tenths in viewers but up a tenth in the demo. The rise is a good sign but it's still low. On CBS, 60 Minutes started things off down four tenths in viewers and even in the demo. The Amazing Race followed and was up a tenth in viewers but down a tenth in the demo. It is very consistent for CBS. At 9pm, The Good Wife was up two tenths in viewers but down a tenth in the demo. It sounds like this show is going to get a renewal but will CBS keep it here? At 10pm, The Mentalist was up three tenths in viewers and two tenths in the demo which is an ok rebound but these numbers are too low for CBS on Sunday night. FOX's animated shows were new but slightly out of order. It's worth noting that The Cleveland Show did much better at 8:30pm instead of 7:30pm but Bob's Burgers wasn't any stronger at 9:30pm than 8:30pm.

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...
