Tuesday night had the time period premiere for Fresh Off the Boat on ABC and the results were very promising with a two episode night. Understandably, it dropped big from last week's Wednesday numbers, but it was significantly better than anything Selfie or Manhattan Love Story got in the fall. People sought this show out and that's a win for a tough timeslot on ABC. It also seemed to help the rest of the night a bit. Marvel's Agent Carter was up a tenth in viewers and the demo while Forever was up two tenths in viewers and the demo. Over on FOX, Masterchef Junior fell four tenths in viewers and two tenths in the demo. Maybe it was the one-two punch of Boat and a stronger NCIS? At 9pm, New Girl was down three tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo while The Mindy Project was up a tenth in viewers and even in the demo.

CBS was up across the board. At 8pm, NCIS was up two tenths in viewers and three tenths in the demo for its best performance since the season premiere. At 9pm, NCIS: New Orleans was down three tenths in viewers but up a tenth in the demo. Person of Interest closed out the night up two tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo. Finally, NBC was barely on the map. Parks and Recreation saw season lows at 8pm as the comedy competition from ABC may have hurt. At 9pm, Marry Me was up a tenth in viewers and even in the demo while About a Boy was down two tenths in viewers and even in the demo. Chicago Fire is getting no favors from this horrible comedy lineup. It was down two tenths in viewers and the demo. The demo is the lowest since December 2012. If I was NBC, I would just let a repeat air next week and bring this back when The Voice returns to the night. It has a built-in audience but it can only do so much.

WINNER OF THE NIGHT: Fresh Off the Boat (ABC)
LOSER OF THE NIGHT: Parks and Recreation (NBC)

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...
