Monday night was pretty good for the broadcast networks with nearly everything around last week's levels. First up on CBS, The Big Bang Theory was down half a million viewers and even in the demo. At 9pm, Scorpion stabilized again as it was down four tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo. Is this where it's settling or is another dive coming up? Starting next week, it has The Millers as a lead-in instead of a Big Bang repeat. At 10pm, NCIS: Los Angeles was up half a million viewers and even in the demo. It's still third place in the timeslot, but if it stays here, it's a huge improvement for CBS. On ABC, Dancing with the Stars was even in viewers and up a tenth in the demo while Castle was down seven tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo.

NBC had the best night with both shows up from last week. The Voice was up nine tenths in viewers and three tenths in the demo, climbing back to the 4.0 mark. The Blacklist followed suit and was down two tenths in viewers but up two tenths in the demo. After last week's drop, this is a promising rebound. Finally on FOX, Gotham also showed signs of stabilization. It earned its full season pickup by being even in viewers and dropping just a tenth in the demo. At 9pm, Sleepy Hollow was up three tenths in viewers and even in the demo. It was tough to pick a loser for the night as no show dropped more than a tenth in the demo. Overall, a solid Monday.

WINNER OF THE NIGHT: The Voice (NBC)
LOSER OF THE NIGHT: NCIS: Los Angeles (CBS)

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...
