On Monday night, Supergirl came back to Earth on CBS. It fell a big 4.1 million viewers and nine tenths in the demo from its series premiere but there are other factors to consider. Last week was one of the more hyped premiere events and it got to follow a 4.4 demo from The Big Bang Theory. This week, it had to self start at 8pm and couple that with the usual week two drop. I'm sure CBS would have liked it to hold on better but this is a show where week #3 probably matters more than week #2 given the vastly different circumstances between the first and second week. At 9pm, Scorpion was down two tenths in viewers and even in the demo from last week's 90 minute episode. NCIS: Los Angeles closed out the night down four tenths in viewers and even in the demo from its last airing two weeks ago. On ABC, Dancing with the Stars was up two tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo while a CMA Awards special with Robin Roberts was mostly ignored at 10pm and skewed quite old.

NBC had a great night with The Voice up two tenths in viewers and the demo. This is a time where it's usually dropping during a season so this was a positive development. It also helped Blindspot rise a tenth in viewers and the demo for its best showing in three weeks. NBC announced that it will preview new comedies Superstore and Telenovela after The Voice in a couple weeks once Blindspot completes its fall run. Finally on FOX, Gotham is not having any bad effects from Supergirl as it was even in viewers and up a tenth in the demo for its best demo showing since September 28. At 9pm, Minority Report was down a tenth in viewers and even in the demo.

WINNER OF THE NIGHT: The Voice (NBC)
LOSER OF THE NIGHT: Minority Report (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...
