On Tuesday night, CBS saw NCIS hit a series low in its 12th season. It was down 1.1 million viewers and a tenth in the demo. It came awfully close to going below a 2.0 demo for the first time ever but it adjusted up in the finals. I wouldn't be surprised to see it slip below that before the season is over. Prior to last week, its series low in the demo was way back in 2004, during its first season. It's still strong but its best days are behind it. NCIS: New Orleans benefited from The Voice not being in the hour despite its lead-in being down. It was up a tenth in viewers and the demo. At 10pm, Person of Interest featuring the return of Taraji P. Henson was up half a million viewers and two tenths in the demo. It should probably have been up more considering the lack of competition. Over on FOX, Hell's Kitchen was up a tenth in viewers and the demo while the bomb that is Weird Loners had to follow a New Girl repeat and was down three tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo.

On ABC, Fresh Off the Boat started things off down a tenth in viewers but up a tenth in the demo for its best performance since March 10. This was a very good thing to happen for its renewal chances. At 8:30pm, Repeat After Me was down two tenths in viewers but up a tenth in the demo. At 9pm, Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. followed the upward trend as it was down two tenths in viewers and up a tenth in the demo for its best performance in a month. Finally on NBC, The Voice continued its spring swoon by dropping four tenths in viewers and two tenths in the demo. Better news came at 9pm where Undateable was up a tenth in viewers and the demo. At 9:30pm, One Big Happy was down two tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo. Undateable has a real chance to return but I'd put a fork in it for One Big Happy.

WINNER OF THE NIGHT: Fresh Off the Boat (ABC)
LOSER OF THE NIGHT: Weird Loners (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...
