UPFRONTS 2018: What CW Will Do

Here is my CW prediction!

Past CW prediction: 2017

For my CW suggestion, click here

MONDAYS
8:00 Supergirl
9:00 DC's Legends of Tomorrow
I suggested that the CW condense the superhero nights and that is what I predict they will do as well. Supergirl and DC's Legends of Tomorrow shared a timeslot on Monday nights this spring. I think they'll each get their own Monday slot in the fall.

TUESDAYS
8:00 The Flash
9:00 Black Lightning
I think the CW will leave Tuesdays alone with the same pairing of The Flash and Black Lightning that they had this spring.

WEDNESDAYS
8:00 Riverdale
9:00 ROSWELL
I think the CW will keep Riverdale as the 8pm anchor on Wednesdays and pair it with a former cult classic being rebooted, Roswell.

THURSDAYS
8:00 Supernatural
9:00 WAYWARD SISTERS
I think the CW will make Thursdays their Supernatural night with the mothership keeping its 8pm slot and the spinoff taking over 9pm.

FRIDAYS
8:00 Crazy Ex-Girlfriend
9:00 Jane the Virgin
With the CW expanding to Sunday, I think they will leave the Friday night lineup the same it was this past fall.

SUNDAYS
8:00 CHARMED
9:00 SPENCER
I think the CW will try to make a splash on their return to Sundays and Charmed seems like an obvious choice. I suggested they pair it with Roswell, but I'm predicting they'll go with football drama Spencer, which seems incompatible but perhaps is a bigger move for a new night.

MIDSEASON: IN THE DARK, UNTITLED ORIGINALS SPINOFF, The 100, Arrow, Dynasty

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...
