 TV NEWS & THOUGHTS
- CBS has renewed God Friended Me for a second season. This came on the heels of renewals for fellow freshmen FBI, The Neighborhood, and Magnum P.I. The Sunday night drama has done decently, especially in total viewers. It rounds out a mostly successful freshman class for CBS with only Happy Together unlikely to return among the fall newbies.

- FOX has renewed The Masked Singer for a second season. This was not a surprise and more of a formality as the winter reality show has been a surprise hit.

- The CW renewed a flurry of its shows, leaving only a few with fates undecided. The renewals include top show The Flash for a sixth season and fellow superhero shows Arrow (season 8), DC's Legends of Tomorrow (season 5), Supergirl (season 5), and Black Lightning (season 3). Also on the list is Supernatural, which will be returning for an incredible 15th season. Freshman dramas Charmed and Legacies also made the cut as well as a third season for Riverdale and perpetually low-rated Dynasty. None of these were that much of a surprise, even Dynasty, which is the biggest proof that the CW doesn't care much about linear ratings. With Crazy Ex-Girlfriend ending, the CW shows currently airing that don't know their fate are All American and Roswell, New Mexico. It's too early to tell but promising for Roswell and probably not a great sign for All American. Still to premiere are The 100, newbie In the Dark, and the final seasons of Jane the Virgin and iZombie.

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...
