Blindspot got renewed by NBC on Wednesday afternoon and Wednesday night, it got its first 0.8 demo since February. It has been so consistent and that surely played a role in its renewal. So while it probably wouldn't have changed anything, it was ironic that it dropped three tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo. At 9pm, Law & Order: SVU was down a tenth in viewers and up a tenth in the demo while Chicago PD ended the night even in viewers and up a tenth in the demo. On ABC, the just renewed (for 2 seasons!) The Goldbergs was even in viewers and down a tenth in the demo to tie a series low last set on May 6, 2014. At 8:30pm, Speechless was down a tenth in viewers and the demo for a series low. The series low parade continued with Modern Family, which was even in viewers and down a tenth in the demo. The bleeding stopped with the season finale of Black-ish, which was up six tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo. Is this its last new Wednesday airing? We'll know soon! At 10pm, Designated Survivor was up three tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo.

On CBS, Survivor was even in viewers and down a tenth in the demo. The season finale of Criminal Minds followed and was up seven tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo. It's been a disappointing season for Minds, but it ended its season with two episodes that gave the show its best numbers since October. It's already renewed for next season but will this performance help keep it at 9pm? At 10pm, Criminal Minds: Beyond Borders was down a tenth in viewers and the demo. On FOX, Shots Fired was even with last week while Empire rebounded nicely from last week's series low, rising seven tenths in viewers and three tenths in the demo. This was an excellent performance for a show that has been on the decline. Finally on the CW, Arrow was up three tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo for its best showing since March 1 while The 100 was even.

WINNER OF THE NIGHT: Empire (FOX)
LOSER OF THE NIGHT: The Goldbergs (ABC)

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...
