On Monday night, it was another pretty rough drop for Supergirl on CBS. The new drama fell another eight tenths in viewers and half a demo point. It is skewing older and has lost nearly five million viewers and 1.4 demo points since its premiere two weeks ago. Last week's drop was understandable, this one is more troubling as it hasn't made the splash CBS hoped it would. At 9pm, Scorpion was down two tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo. That ties a series low in viewers, but it held up quite well despite another big drop from the lead-in. At 10pm, NCIS: Los Angeles was down half a million viewers and a tenth in the demo. Over on FOX, only Gotham was new and it was down two tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo.

Over on ABC, Dancing with the Stars was up half a million viewers and a tenth in the demo for its best performance since the season premiere. It will likely rise again in the next two weeks. Castle could not capitalize however as it was down six tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo for a new series low. I will not understand it at all if ABC keeps this show here at midseason. Put it on Tuesday at 10pm or Sunday nights and announce that it's the final season. It's time to put this show out to pasture. Finally on NBC, The Voice was down a tenth in viewers and the demo. It is holding up better as the season goes on than it usually does. At 10pm, the just renewed Blindspot was down three tenths in viewers and even in the demo. With Supergirl being the latest new show to start dropping hard, Blindspot's performance this season is even more impressive. It hasn't dropped below a 2.1 demo and every other new show has gone at least as low as a 1.8.

WINNER OF THE NIGHT: Dancing with the Stars (ABC)
LOSER OF THE NIGHT: Castle (ABC)

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...
