It was a scary night for the ratings as Halloween sent everything downwards. It was really ugly for CBS where everything hit or tied a series low. As expected, the 8pm family comedies came crashing down with Kevin Can Wait dropping 1.5 million viewers and four tenths in the demo. At 8:30pm, Man with a Plan was down 1.4 million viewers and three tenths in the demo from its series premiere. The good news for this show was it continued to look like a very solid partner to Kevin. At 9pm, 2 Broke Girls was down six tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo. The Odd Couple only tied its series low instead of hitting it outright like the other shows. It was down six tenths in viewers and two tenths in the demo. At 10pm, Scorpion was half a million viewers and a tenth in the demo. On ABC, Dancing with the Stars was down six tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo. It tied a series low but this was actually one of the most steady performers. A CMA Awards special was on par with Conviction's usual numbers.

On NBC, The Voice came tumbling down 1.9 million viewers and a horrible seven tenths in the demo. Looks like The Voice taps more into a family/Halloween audience than Dancing with the Stars. At 10pm, Timeless was down three tenths in viewers and two tenths in the demo. It received an extension of three episodes today which will take it through mid February when Taken takes its place as The Voice premieres its spring edition. FOX was more steady as Gotham was down just three tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo while Lucifer was down two tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo. Finally, Halloween seemed to take a bite out of Supergirl, which was down half a million viewers and two tenths in the demo. Jane the Virgin was the only show to not drop at all. It was down a tenth in viewers and even in the demo.

WINNER OF THE NIGHT: Jane the Virgin (CW)
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...
