Sunday night had a mammoth overrun for the NFL with the annual Manning-Brady Bowl on CBS. The huge lead-in led to a season high for 60 Minutes as it was up nicely from last week's NFL-fueled numbers. Then, CBS had a great showing from Madam Secretary, which was up 1.5 million viewers and three tenths in the demo for its best numbers since the series premiere. Yes, it's retention out of 60 Minutes wasn't great but you have to remember that 60 Minutes was probably losing NFL viewers as the hour went on. This was a great showing for CBS's freshman drama. At 10pm, The Good Wife was up three tenths in viewers but down a tenth in the demo. For the second week in a row, CSI was preempted thanks to a very long NFL overrun. NBC had one of its lower weeks for Sunday Night Football with the Ravens-Steelers tilt.

ABC's lineup was on the rise from last week's lows with America's Funniest Home Videos back at 7pm after a week off. At 8pm, Once Upon a Time was up six tenths in viewers and two tenths in the demo. Resurrection was up the same at 9pm. Revenge closed out the night up four tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo. Finally, FOX had a weaker night with no NFL lead-in and Family Guy being a repeat again. At 7:30pm, Bob's Burgers was down two tenths in viewers and up a tenth in the demo from its last airing a month ago. The Simpsons and Brooklyn Nine-Nine were both down big from their last episodes, which had an NFL lead-in. They were exactly on par with what they did the last time there wasn't an NFL lead-in, though. At 9:30pm, Mulaney fell seven tenths in viewers and three tenths in the demo to a pitiful 0.7 demo. Time to pull this show and put Bob's Burgers on at 9:30pm.

WINNER OF THE NIGHT: Madam Secretary (CBS)
LOSER OF THE NIGHT: Mulaney (FOX)

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...
