On Monday night, NBC had the season finale of The New Celebrity Apprentice and it was even with last week's two hour episode. This was pretty low rated but I don't think it was to the point of not having a chance of renewal as a filler. I could still see it come back but it may not be in the 2017-18 season and may not be with Arnold Schwarzenegger. At 10pm, Timeless recovered just slightly from last week's terrible fall as it was up a tenth in viewers and the demo. CBS was very close to last week across the board. Kevin Can Wait and Superior Donuts were both even while Man with a Plan was down a tenth in viewers and even in the demo, 2 Broke Girls was even in viewers and down a tenth in the demo, and Scorpion was down six tenths in viewers and even in the demo. This is probably most encouraging for Superior Donuts, which is holding up well and fitting in nicely to the comedy lineup. I think its chances of getting a second season are very good at this point.

The FOX newbies didn't fare as well as Donuts. Week two of 24: Legacy was down 1.1 million viewers and three tenths in the demo. So much for the Super Bowl giving this show a boost as its already down to a 1.2. But the news was even worse for APB, which was down a rough 1.6 million viewers and half a demo point from last week's promising start. This was a big rejection week to week and probably will doom this show. On ABC, The Bachelor was up a tenth in viewers and even in the demo, easily topping all Monday shows. At 10pm, Quantico continued to squander its lead-in, dropping two tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo, tying a series low. ABC should just pull this show, honestly. They could get more mileage airing a game show here for the rest of the season. Finally on the CW, Supergirl was up a tenth in viewers and the demo while Jane the Virgin was up two tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo.

WINNER OF THE NIGHT: Superior Donuts (CBS)
LOSER OF THE NIGHT: APB (FOX)

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...
