On the first Tuesday after Daylight Savings, CBS seemed to take the most advantage. NCIS was dominant, rising 1.2 million viewers and two tenths in the demo for its best performance since the season premiere. At 9pm, NCIS: New Orleans took a big leap forward with The Voice being a clip show as competition. It was up 1.1 million viewers and three tenths in the demo for a season high. This might be a glimpse of what it can do in January and February without The Voice. At 10pm, Limitless was up four tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo for its best performance in a month. NBC said goodbye to Best Time Ever with Neil Patrick Harris and it rose nine tenths in viewers and a good three tenths in the demo. I definitely think it will be back in some capacity in the future. After a clip show of The Voice, Chicago Fire was up three tenths in viewers and down a tenth in the demo. It definitely has its own audience.

On ABC, The Muppets was up three tenths in viewers and even in the demo. It was announced today that its showrunner is leaving and it will go through a sort of reboot before its final six episodes in the spring. At 8:30pm, Fresh Off the Boat was up four tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo for its best performance in a month. There's not space for it now, but I think it would have a Goldbergs-style leap if it could move to Wednesdays. At 9pm, Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. was dead even with last week. It was an ugly second week for Wicked City, which has already dropped to a 0.7 demo by falling nine tenths in viewers and two tenths in the demo. This show already has one foot in the coffin. FOX's lineup returned after a week off but it was still quite low. Grandfathered was down a tenth in viewers and even in the demo. The Grinder was down four tenths in viewers and two tenths in the demo to a troubling 0.8 demo. Grandfathered is definitely the stronger show of the two at the moment. Finally, Scream Queens was down two tenths in viewers and even in the demo.

WINNER OF THE NIGHT: NCIS: New Orleans (CBS)
LOSER OF THE NIGHT: The Grinder (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...
