THE WEEK AHEAD: February 25-March 3, 2019

Here's a look at Week #23!

ABC
Following the Oscars, ABC has an all new week with the series premiere of Whiskey Cavalier on Wednesday. It will be the same episode that was previewed after the Oscars last night, but will air in its regular timeslot. This week also has the season premiere of American Idol on Sunday night and I have a feeling it will be underwhelming. There are also two season finales for Thursday dramas A Million Little Things and How to Get Away with Murder. Million has already been renewed for next season and while its ratings have been very low this year, I think Murder will get renewed as well.

 MONDAY
8:00 The Bachelor
10:00 The Good Doctor

TUESDAY
8:00 American Housewife
8:30 The Kids Are Alright
9:00 Black-ish
9:30 Splitting Up Together
10:00 The Rookie

WEDNESDAY
8:00 The Goldbergs
8:30 Schooled
9:00 Modern Family
9:30 Single Parents
10:00 Whiskey Cavalier (SERIES PREMIERE)

SUNDAY

8:00 American Idol (Season Premiere)
10:00 Shark Tank

CBS
CBS has a mix of new episodes and repeats. The decision to air three hours of The World's Best this week looks pretty foolish after it posted a terrible 0.6 demo last week.

 MONDAY
8:00 The Neighborhood
8:30 Man with a Plan
9:00 Magnum P.I.
10:00 Bull

TUESDAY
8:00 NCIS

10:00 48 Hours

SUNDAY
7:00 60 Minutes
8:00 God Friended Me
9:00 NCIS: Los Angeles
10:00 Madam Secretary

NBC
NBC has a busy week with the return of The Voice with new coach John Legend on Monday and Tuesday night. Monday will lead into the series premiere of The Enemy Within, which has had a ton of promotion in recent weeks though I don't think it will come close to Manifest's 2.2 demo premiere from the fall. Tuesday has the season premiere of the former summer show World of Dance before it heads to anchor Sunday nights, where it leads into a new season of Good Girls. This week also has the season finale of The Titan Games.

 MONDAY
8:00 The Voice (Edition Premiere)
10:00 The Enemy Within (SERIES PREMIERE)

SATURDAY
8:00 Dateline NBC

10:00 Saturday Night Live (Repeat)

SUNDAY
7:00 World of Dance (Repeat)
8:00 World of Dance
10:00 Good Girls (Season Premiere)

FOX
Despite premieres and finales all over the place, the biggest event of the week is likely to be The Masked Singer on Wednesday night, which I think could easily see a 3.0 demo or above, something not often season in 2018-19. FOX also has season finales of Tuesday dramas Lethal Weapon and The Gifted.

MONDAY
8:00 The Masked Singer (Repeat)
9:00 The Passage

8:00 Lethal Weapon (Season Finale)

8:30 Bob's Burgers

The CW is still doing a lot of repeats although there are some new episodes this week, especially from shows that are ending their seasons in the coming weeks.

 MONDAY

TV NEWS & THOUGHTS
- CBS has renewed Young Sheldon for two more seasons. The sophomore comedy is likely taking over the 8pm Thursday slot from the show it spun off from, The Big Bang Theory, next season and this is a show of good faith. But we've yet to really see how it will do without the mothership in front of it. That won't be known until the fall.

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...
