Tuesday night had the start of a more intriguing than usual World Series and it delivered its best Game 1 rating since 2009. Surprisingly, it had very little impact on the rest of the networks despite FOX being unbelievably stronger than usual on Tuesdays. That just goes to show how many viewers watch something other then broadcast networks regularly. On ABC, Halloween episodes did not provide a boost to the comedies but maybe it helped them from dropping much against the World Series. At 8pm, The Middle was down three tenths in viewers and even in the demo. American Housewife built on its lead-in. It was down six tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo. It did build on its lead-in for a third straight week. At 9pm, Fresh Off the Boat was down a tenth in viewers and the demo. The Real O'Neals managed to come back up slightly from last week's bad performance, rising three tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo. At 10pm, Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. was even in viewers and up a tenth in the demo.

On CBS, NCIS saw another series low as it fell seven tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo. This actually isn't too bad because I thought it could have dropped more against the World Series. At 9pm, Bull followed suit and was also down seven tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo. At 10pm, NCIS: New Orleans was up a tenth in viewers and the demo. It was actually The Voice that seemed to be hit harder by baseball than NCIS. The Voice was down 1.1 million viewers and a rough four tenths in the demo. This is Us was down too but it built on its lead-in even more impressively. It was down a million viewers and two tenths in the demo. At 10pm, Chicago Fire was down half a million viewers and even in the demo. Once again, it is really an independent performer from its lead-ins. Finally on the CW, The Flash was up a tenth in viewers and even in the demo as it was also not impacted by baseball. No Tomorrow was even with last week.

WINNER OF THE NIGHT: Chicago Fire (NBC)
LOSER OF THE NIGHT: The Voice (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...
