One week after Election Night preempted everything, most Tuesday shows were up from their last airings two weeks ago. The entire ABC comedy lineup was up by at least a tenth in the demo. At 8pm, The Middle was up eight tenths in viewers and a nice two tenths in the demo for its best performance since the season premiere. This is closer to what ABC was probably hoping for from this show on Tuesdays. American Housewife had the smallest rise, but it was still up two tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo. It did not build on The Middle but it still tied it in the demo and is a perfect fit. At 9pm, Fresh Off the Boat was up eight tenths in viewers and two tenths in the demo while The Real O'Neals was up nine tenths in viewers and a good three tenths in the demo. A David Blaine special at 10pm was a significant improvement on the usual Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. numbers. CBS was steady for the most part and not up like the other networks. NCIS was up six tenths in viewers and even in the demo. At 9pm, Bull was up three tenths in viewers and even in the demo. NCIS: New Orleans closed out the night down four tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo. It was the only show on any network to drop from its last airing.

On NBC, The Voice was up four tenths in viewers and even in the demo with its last regular Tuesday airing. At 9pm, This is Us had another fantastic week, rising a million viewers and three tenths in the demo. Interruptions in the weekly airings aren't hurting the biggest new hit of the season. At 10pm, Chicago Fire was up three tenths in viewers and even in the demo. The CW saw a nice rise for The Flash, which was up two tenths in viewers and a big four tenths in the demo for its best performance since the season premiere. No Tomorrow couldn't benefit as it was just even. The CW announced today that both No Tomorrow and Frequency would not get back orders though they are not officially cancelled. Finally, FOX aired its regular lineup for the first time in nearly a month due to the World Series and the election. Brooklyn Nine-Nine was up a tenth in viewers and even in the demo, New Girl was up a tenth in viewers and a tenth in the demo. At 9pm, Scream Queens was even at a very weak 0.6 demo.

WINNER OF THE NIGHT: The Flash (CW)
LOSER OF THE NIGHT: NCIS: New Orleans (CBS)

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...
