There were several finales on Sunday night. On ABC, America's Funniest Home Videos started things out up three tenths in viewers and even in the demo. At 8pm, a two hour finale of Once Upon a Time was up two tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo. It seems like it should have had more of a bounce for the finale. Unless they can come up with another exciting arc like the Frozen one from the fall, it seems like this show will continue to decline. At 10pm, the series finale of Revenge was even in viewers and up a tenth in the demo for its best performance since November. Still, it went out with a whimper for a show that was once so promising. After two editions of 60 Minutes, the season finale of The Good Wife was up a million viewers and three tenths in the demo for its best performance since January 11. This was a nice bounce for the finale after a rough spring. At 10pm, the cancelled Battle Creek was up a tenth in viewers and the demo.

Three shows were new on FOX. At 8pm, The Simpsons was down three tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo. At 8:30pm, Brooklyn Nine-Nine was down a tenth in viewers and up a tenth in the demo. It actually built on its Simpsons lead-in, which is impressive. Bob's Burgers temporarily moved back to 9:30pm and was up three tenths in viewers and two tenths in the demo from last week's 7:30pm episode. Finally on NBC, A.D. The Bible Continues was down a million viewers and two tenths in the demo. And there it is. Every new show on NBC has gone below a 1.0 demo. Yikes. At 10pm, American Odyssey was down four tenths in viewers and even in the demo. It's gotten a 0.5 demo for four weeks in a row and is still on the air.

WINNER OF THE NIGHT: The Good Wife (CBS)
LOSER OF THE NIGHT: A.D. The Bible Continues (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...
