On Friday night, NBC had the second week of its new drama lineup and it didn't go well. Grimm was down three tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo while week two of Emerald City was down a rough 1.3 million viewers and two tenths in the demo from last week's two hour premiere. NBC has too many success stories on other nights for Emerald City to actually have a chance at these numbers. I'm sure it'll finish its run but there won't be more. At 10pm, Dateline NBC was down nine tenths in viewers and two tenths in the demo from its last airing two weeks ago. On CBS, MacGyver was down eight tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo and Hawaii Five-0 was down four tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo. Blue Bloods held up better as it was down just three tenths in viewers and even in the demo.

On ABC, Last Man Standing came back after last week's unusual big surge. It was down six tenths in viewers and two tenths in the demo. Dr. Ken followed and was down seven tenths in viewers and two tenths in the demo. At 9pm, Shark Tank was up a tenth in viewers and down a tenth in the demo while 20/20 closed out the night down four tenths in viewers and two tenths in the demo. On FOX, Rosewood was down a tenth in viewers and up a tenth in the demo while Sleepy Hollow was down a tenth in viewers and even in the demo with last week's season premiere. Finally on the CW, The Vampire Diaries began its final stretch of episodes. It was even with its last airing back on December 9. At 9pm, Crazy Ex-Girlfriend was even with last week's 9pm episode.

WINNER OF THE NIGHT: Blue Bloods (CBS)
LOSER OF THE NIGHT: Emerald City (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...
