THE WEEK AHEAD: March 25-31, 2019

Here's a look at Week #27!

ABC
ABC is mostly new this week except for Wednesday comedies, which are repeats. Will that lead to even lower results for the disappointing Whiskey Cavalier? And will ABC only see two shows reach a 1.0 demo this week (American Idol and Grey's Anatomy)?

NBC
NBC has an all new week including the return of #OneChicago after nearly a month off. Thursday night has the series premiere of Abby's but there doesn't seem to be much interest and the NBC comedy lineup has had a rough go of it.

TV NEWS & THOUGHTS
- ABC has renewed The Conners for a second season. The Roseanne spinoff that was born out of necessity following the cancellation of the Roseanne revival and firing of its star had always been certain to be renewed, but it only became official this week when stars John Goodman, Laurie Metcalf, Sara Gilbert, and Lecy Goranson closed their deals. Season two will be 13 episodes, up from season one's 11.

- The CW announced the upcoming 15th season of Supernatural will be the final one for a show that is older than its network. The last remaining throwback to the WB has had a remarkable run that defied expectations all along the way throughout many timeslots on a tiny network that has gone through many incarnations. It will end its run not only as the longest running CW show ever but as one of the longest running drama series in history.

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...
