It was another stellar Tuesday for NBC which is going strong with its new lineup. The Voice is continuing to have one of its best runs up to the finale ever as it was up a million viewers and two tenths in the demo. It is up over 20% from the same week last fall. At 9pm, Chicago Med continued its hot streak as it was down three tenths in viewers but up a tenth in the demo. For its next airing in January, it will not get to follow The Voice, but it will be part of a crossover event with the other two Chicago shows. It will obviously dip in the weeks before The Voice comes back but I think NBC has a hit on its hands. At 10pm, Chicago Fire was up half a million viewers and a tenth in the demo for another great performance. It came close to a series high in total viewers.

On ABC, The Muppets was even with last week while Fresh Off the Boat was up two tenths in viewers but down a tenth in the demo to a new series low. Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. was up a tenth in viewers and even in the demo for its fall finale. On CBS, the annual Victoria's Secret Fashion Show was down big from the last several years. It used to air on the same night as Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer and oddly enough, that seemed to help it? Finally on FOX, the two hour season finale of Scream Queens was up a tenth in viewers and even in the demo from last week's one hour episode. If this comes back, it will be for reasons other than its same day ratings, which have been abysmal.

WINNER OF THE NIGHT: The Voice (NBC)
LOSER OF THE NIGHT: Scream Queens (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...
