RENEWAL ALERT: The Good Place

NBC announced today that it has renewed freshman comedy The Good Place for a second season. The quirky comedy delivered decent numbers in its Thursday night slot where there was a chance for it to completely go off the rails. It was only conceived as a 13 episode season so it has already wrapped for the year but it had a well regarded season finale and some critical buzz in general. The Good Place joins This is Us and The Voice as official NBC renewals. Sure to join them are The Wall, Chicago Fire, Law & Order: SVU, and Chicago PD . Likely renewals include Chicago Med and The Blacklist . Blindspot is on the bubble   while it's not looking good for Timeless and Emerald City . Still to premiere this season on NBC are Powerless, The Blacklist: Redemption, Taken, Chicago Justice, Trial & Error, and Great News along with unscheduled freshmen Marlon and Midnight, Texas .

PILOT REVIEW: Riverdale

RIVERDALE Starring: KJ Apa, Lili Reinhart, Camila Mendes, Cole Sprouse, Marisol Nichols, Madelaine Petsch, Ashleigh Murray, with Madchen Amick, and Luke Perry Based on the Archie Comics Characters Developed by Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa Written by Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa, Directed by Lee Toland Krieger In a very unusual re-imagining of the Archie comics, Riverdale is a throwback to the sudsy yet moody teen CW shows of earlier this decade. The characters of the legendary comics have been put in a contemporary high school setting fresh off a mysterious summer death of a classmate and brother of queen bee Cheryl Blossom (Madelaine Petsch). Archie (KJ Apa) knows something about the death but was in a compromising situation and can't reveal anything. His longtime friend is Betty (Lili Reinhart), who has a secret crush on him. Throwing a wrench into things is the arrival of Veronica (Camila Mendes), who befriends Betty but also has a complicated family history in Riverdale...

IN MEMORIAM: Mary Tyler Moore, 1936-2017

The world lost a TV icon today with the passing of Mary Tyler Moore at the age of 80. When you think of the greatest sitcom actresses of all time, there are two that stand above the rest: Lucille Ball and Mary Tyler Moore. Much of the coverage today has focused on her iconic role on her self-titled show but no tribute of Mary would be complete without talking about her brilliant work first on The Dick Van Dyke Show as Laura Petrie. In an era where TV wives were confined to a stereotypical June Cleaver-style housewife role, Moore and the creators of The Dick Van Dyke Show clearly wanted more. They made her a partner in the marriage and quickly realized she was a gifted comedienne and used it to great effect. Who can forget her classic timing as she rolled in on top of a pile of walnuts or frantically tried to stuff an inflatable raft back in its box or tearfully explained to her husband that she told a TV audience that Alan Brady was bald. We also got to see her become a fashion ...

RENEWAL ALERT: The Middle

ABC announced today that it has renewed family comedy The Middle for a ninth season. The longtime hit moved from Wednesdays to Tuesdays this year and while its ratings have declined, it has helped ABC carve out a strong comedy presence on Tuesdays. This renewal has come down to the wire and it can be tricky with veteran shows but ABC got this done early and the Hecks will be coming back for another year. The Middle is ABC's first official renewal for the 2017-18 season.

RENEWAL ALERT: This is Us

On its TCA day, NBC announced a renewal for This is Us not just for the 2017-18 season but for the 2018-19 season as well. A renewal of the breakout hit was just a formality but the two season pickup is an extra show of support. This is Us is far and away the #1 new broadcast show this year, hitting a series high 3.0 demo last week. It has a ton of buzz and critical acclaim to boot. It will likely stay in its Tuesday 9pm slot next season (perhaps leading into a new show) and also will likely continue to do 18 episodes a year. This is Us joins The Voice as official NBC renewals for next season.

RENEWAL ALERT: Empire

During their TCA Winter Tour, FOX announced a renewal for Empire for a fourth season. The hip hop soap exploded onto the scene in January 2015 and progressively soared to higher and higher levels. It had a strong second season but started to decline some and has declined more this year but it was so high at one point that it remains one of TV's top shows despite the drops. Empire joins Hell's Kitchen, The Simpsons, and Bob's Burgers as early 2017-18 renewals for FOX.
