MIKE ON TV: How the Coronavirus Pandemic is Impacting Summer and Fall TV

I was on Canada's CTV Newschannel last Friday to discuss how the production shutdown is impacting summer and fall TV schedules... and the short answer is, no one still quite knows when or how TV shows will return. Watch above.

Right now the industry is still in a bit of a holding pattern, especially given the spark in COVID cases. Several of the networks have announced fall schedules that feel like optimistic pipe dreams, as production really needs to be underway by August. Networks like Fox and The CW have stockpiled already-produced content, including international shows, to bide their time in the fall before (hopefully) having new episodes of their shows ready in January. The streamers are in better shape, obviously, since they have more content in the can, but even that will run out at some point. Talk shows have continued from home, and are slowly becoming more elaborate -- with some looking at ways to move back to a studio without audience (like "Conan"). Then there's still the question of the Emmys, which take place on Sept. 20, hosted by Jimmy Kimmel, and what that might look like.

As for those of us covering television, it's perhaps never been busier. The business has been impacted by COVID in so many different ways that it's hard to keep up with all the angles. The national conversation about systemic racism in the country and its impact on popular culture also has many ramifications on the business. Add that to the ongoing business of television -- deals are still happening, shows are still being picked up/renewed/canceled, executives are still being hired and fired... and also, this is the year that multiple streaming services have launched, including HBO Max, Peacock and Quibi, further disrupting an already completely disrupted industry.

KCRW's The Spin Off: Post-Election, Post-Fall and Post-"Gilmore Girls"

On the latest edition of KCRW's The Spin-Off, Joe Adalian and I are joined by The Hollywood Reporter's Dan Fienberg to talk about the hot TV topics of the moment: Post-election coverage, fall TV winners and losers, and Netflix's "Gilmore Girls" revival:

Following the election, The Spin-off crew talks about the role television played in the run-up to the vote, from cable news to late night. In terms of ratings, Fox News is still doing very well post-election, but it's possible that MSNBC will get a boost when progressive viewers come out of hibernation and are ready to start watching the news again. We also contemplate what we could be seeing creatively on the TV development side under a Trump Presidency.

Also, NFL ratings have been down all year, but did return the week immediately following the election. We break down some of the various factors influencing the football ratings ups and downs.

Plus, Dan Fienberg tells us why, unlike many reboots and remakes, the Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life actually has a reason to exist. He says while it's not perfect, fans will be happy to be able to spend their Thanksgiving weekends back in Stars Hollow, via Netflix.

KCRW's THE SPIN-OFF: Creativity Abounds in Fall TV, and Analyzing Debate Ratings

On the latest edition of KCRW's The Spin-Off, Joe and I were joined by Vulture's Jen Chaney, and we talked about the highs and lows of the new fall TV season so far... plus our instant analysis of the first presidential debate:

As the new fall TV season kicks into gear, there's a pleasantly surprising number of shows that look like they could have long-term potential. There are already a lot of new shows to love in broadcast (The Good Place, Speechless, This is Us), cable (Better Things, Atlanta, High Maintenance) and streaming (Fleabag, One Mississippi). Some shows like Pitch and Son of Zorn, both on Fox, show potential, but may need a little more time to find an audience.

On the other side of the spectrum, Kevin Can Wait on CBS feels like a dated sitcom beamed in from 20 years ago. Plenty of people are watching it now, but will that audience keep coming back to be faced with the same tired tropes? And Notorious on ABC may be not long for this world.

We also talk about the ratings for the first presidential debate. They were indeed record-breaking in terms of raw numbers, but in terms of the percentage of households that watched, older debates like Kennedy and Nixon still got a high tune-in rate percentage-wise. As the debates continue this fall, several late night shows are using them as an opportunity to do their shows live, which so far, is working out better in some cases than in others.

KCRW's THE SPIN-OFF: Kicking Off the New TV Season

On the latest edition of KCRW's The Spin-Off, Joe and I are joined by the LA Times' Libby Hill to talk about the start of the fall season:

There's a noted lack of pizazz around this year's crop of freshman shows. Last year there were lots of fresh faces and ideas coming to the small screen, but this year seems to retread a lot of concepts from many years past. In some ways, this season is highlighting the slow collapse of linear television.

Even ABC's The Muppets, a show many people were excited about, so far seems to be...just OK.

Not all is lost though. Ratings show people are still watching some shows in real time, especially Fox's mega-hit Empire. The hip-hop soap opera kicked off Season 2 with massive numbers, both in terms of how many people were watching, and how many people were tweeting about it. Though that big push for social media engagement fell flat for another Fox show, Scream Queens. Despite a weak debut, the show did pick up some significant numbers in delayed viewing.

For viewers who stick around after primetime, they're seeing some new faces on late night. Stephen Colbert has a few week's worth of hosting under his belt at The Late Show, while Trevor Noah is just settling into his first week as host of The Daily Show.

In Noah's first night as host, the show stuck very much to the familiar structure of The Daily Show as it was hosted by Jon Stewart. Time will tell if Noah sticks to that routine or breaks out to make the show more of his own.

MIKE ON KCRW: Bantering About Fall TV, FX and NFL on "The Business"

On this week's episode of KCRW's The Business, host Kim Masters and I tackle in the showbiz banter:

- Fall TV is in full swing this week. Networks are hoping advertisers will pay attention to not just how many people tune in live, but also to viewers catching up a few days later on their DVRs.

- FX CEO John Landgraf says they’re probably doing away with the 10-90 plan.

- Rihanna’s version of “Run This Town” will no longer be a part of CBS’s Thursday Night Football.

MIKE ON KCRW's PRESS PLAY: Discussing the New Season and the New York Times' Offensive Shonda Rhimes Piece

On this Monday's edition of Press Play with Madeleine Brand, NPR's Linda Holmes and I discussed the fall TV season -- what to watch and what to skip. But we also tackled that controversial and offensive New York Times piece that called Shonda Rhimes an "angry black woman." Here's the logline from our segment:

This week on the small screen: a superhero show without its superhero, a virgin birth story and a bunch of college students trying to solve a murder. It’s officially the start of the fall television season, and we take a look at the must-sees and the must-avoids.

Listen below!



Also, I forgot to blog about last week's segment, which featured me and Grantland's Andy Greenwald talking about "SNL" and other stuff. A logline:

Saturday Night Live fans will see a new face behind the "Weekend Update" desk next season, and for the first time in the show’s long history, it won’t be a white face. NBC announced that comedian Michael Che will replace Cecily Strong as co-anchor of the fake newscasts. We discuss the switch, and we talk about some of the best new shows wrapping up their first Summer seasons.

TV GUIDE FLASHBACK: The Premiere of "Lost," 10 Years Ago

It's a busy day for TV show landmarks. Just as "Friends" launched 20 years ago, today is also the 10th anniversary of the launch of "Lost." It was a hit from the very beginning. Some clips from the premiere, as chronicled by TV Guide Magazine:

TV GUIDE FLASHBACK: "Friends" Debut, 20 Years Ago

They were there for you... 20 years ago tonight. It's been two decades since "Friends" launched on September 22, 1994. To mark the milestone, here are some clips from the launch, as seen in TV Guide Magazine.

MIKE ON RADIO: Talking Fall TV with KROQ's Kevin & Bean Show

Kevin was out of town, but I had a great conversation on Friday morning's "Kevin & Bean" show with Bean and Lisa May about the new fall TV season. It was also great seeing Ralph Garman, Dave "the King of Mexico" Sanchez, assistant producer Christine, phone screener Chip and even "Beer Mug." I also stopped by the studios on a great morning for food: Boxes and boxes of Roscoe's chicken and waffles (enough that I was offered one and happily obliged).

KCRW's THE SPIN-OFF: September Fall TV Edition (Listen Now!)

Our special Fall TV edition of KCRW's The Spin-Off is here! The Hollywood Reporter's Lesley Goldberg joins Joe Adalian and me for a lively discussion about what might work -- and what probably won't -- this fall. A synopsis:

Fall TV season on the broadcast networks is just around the corner. On this episode of The Spin-Off, we talk new shows premiering and old shows returning, take a look at which networks are shaking things up with their nightly lineups, and which ones are hoping for success with more of the same.

It may not feel like autumn in LA, but the changing TV schedules signal that fall is indeed approaching. We look at a couple of nights set to duke it out, the biggest battleground being on Thursdays. For eight weeks this fall, CBS will have football on Thursdays, while ABC will be offering back-to-back-to-back Shonda Rhimes shows at the same time.

CBS has made an interesting decision for their Monday nights. For the first time since the 1950’s, they will not have a sitcom on at 9pm. Instead, they’re going with the drama Scorpion.

And shifting to the end of the week--have networks given up on Friday nights, or are they strategically cultivating a night of family-oriented viewing?

We also take a look at some of the trends going into this fall season. "Diversity" is one big buzzword, along with shows based on comic books. After having success at the box office, there’s hope the comic book series can also find a home on the small screen.

Finally, a quick round of Fall TV predictions--we’ll take a guess at what could be a sleeper hit, and which shows will be the first to fail.

MIKE ON KCRW's PRESS PLAY: TV's Nostalgia Trip Continues

On this Tuesday's edition of KCRW's Press Play with Madeleine Brand, Madeleine and I discuss Lifetime's "Unauthorized Saved by the Bell Story" movie; the potential return of "Full House"; and a bit about fall TV. Listen by clicking below! It's about 15 minutes in.

KCRW's THE SPIN-OFF: May Post-Upfronts Edition (Listen Now!)

Hey gang, it's the latest edition of The Spin-Off, KCRW's monthly podcast about all things TV, hosted by yours truly! Go listen now... it's our post-upfronts edition, and this month Joe and I are joined by The Hollywood Reporter's Lacey Rose!

Here's what's on tap:

The broadcast TV networks -- most notably ABC -- have added several new shows starring African-American characters and created by African-American writer/producers. For a long time statistics have shown that African Americans watch more TV than other ethnic groups, so why are the networks only now embracing diversity on screen? Also, new comedies were picked up for series at the upfronts this year. Why so few, and why are the ones on the air not big hits? Finally, riffing off of a Salon.com article, we consider why TV stars -- like Jon Hamm -- can’t launch a hit film.

Listen below:

MIKE ON RADIO: Talking AT&T/DirecTV, Diversity and "Eventizing" on KCRW's "Press Play"

On this week's Press Play weekly TV wrap-up: Another huge media merger was announced this weekend. AT&T plans to buy DirecTV for over $48.5 billion, if the FCC allows it. And trends coming out of the upfronts: more diversity and more superheroes. I chat with host Madeleine Brand, about 16 minutes into the show:

The CW Adds "The Flash" To Tuesdays, Among Its Big Fall Moves

The CW's highly anticipated "Arrow" spinoff, "The Flash," will lead off the network's Tuesday lineup this fall.

That pairs "The Flash" (8/7c) with veteran CW show "Supernatural," now heading into its 10th season for an action-oriented night of programming. The timeslot also keeps "The Flash" out of the way of two nearby comic book shows: Fox's "Gotham," which airs Mondays at 8/7c, and ABC's "Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.," which is moving to 9/8c on Tuesdays.

The CW's other new fall series, the romantic comedy "Jane the Virgin," will air Mondays at 9/8c, following "The Originals" (which moves to Mondays at 8/7c). Wednesdays and Thursdays remain the same, while Friday is unscripted night -- with "Whose Line Is It Anyway" and "America's Next Top Model."

Here's the CW's 2014-15 schedule:

MONDAY
8- "The Originals"
9- "Jane the Virgin" (new)

TUESDAY
8- "The Flash" (new)
9- Supernatural

WEDNESDAY
8- "Arrow"
9- "The 100"

THURSDAY
8- "The Vampire Diaries"
9- "Reign"

FRIDAY
8- "Whose Line Is It Anyway?"
8:30- "Whose Line" encores
9- "America's Next Top Model"

MIDSEASON
"iZombie" (new), "The Messengers" (new), "Hart of Dixie," "Beauty and the Beast"

Turner's TNT Goes "Boom," as TBS Locates "The Office" Alums

As it heads into its busy Summer launch period, TNT is unveiling a new marketing campaign: "TNT Drama. Boom." Michael Wright, president, head of programming for TNT, TBS and Turner Classic Movies (TCM), explains: "It's time to evolve and grow TNT– and that starts with refreshing the brand and evolving our content along with it.

Breaking: CBS Schedule Includes "The Big Bang Theory's" Temporary Return to Monday

With Thursday Night Football taking over CBS' schedule for the first several weeks of the new fall 2014 season, "The Big Bang Theory" is making a temporary visit to its old stomping grounds: Monday night. The megahit will help CBS relaunch Mondays, where it saw some declines last season -- and returns without reliable hit "How I Met Your Mother."

"The Big Bang Theory" will stay on Mondays until mid-October while Thursday is occupied. It will then return to Thursdays on Oct. 30 and help CBS resume its four-comedy block there. That will make CBS the only network with comedies at 8 p.m. on Thursday, now that NBC has turned that hour over to "The Biggest Loser."

Also: "The Amazing Race" is on the move to Fridays; "NCIS: Los Angeles" switches to Monday (where CBS will air only two comedies, dropping its long-running 4-comedy block) and "CSI" shifts to Sundays -- where it will share a timeslot with new spinoff "CSI: Cyber."

Here's CBS' fall schedule:

MONDAY:
8- The Big Bang Theory / 2 Broke Girls (post football)
8:30- Mom
9- Scorpion (new)
10- NCIS: Los Angeles

TUESDAY:

ABC's Fall Includes Moves for "Grey's Anatomy," "Scandal," "The Goldbergs" and "Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D."

ABC is sliding “Grey’s Anatomy” and “Scandal” down this fall to make room for creator Shonda Rhimes’ latest series. “Grey’s Anatomy” will move to 8/7c, followed by “Scandal” at 9/8c, in order to launch new drama “How to Get Away with Murder” at 10/9c.

That sets up an all-Shonda Rhimes night for ABC, and potent female-driven counterprogramming to CBS’ Thursday Night Football. “How to Get Away With Murder” is a legal thriller starring Viola Davis as a law school professor. It's a big day for Rhimes, who just sealed a new major overall deal with ABC Studios.

The “Grey’s Anatomy” move is a bit of a surprise: The show continues to do well in its usual 9/8c home — and given its racy content matter, ABC has been hestitant to move the show into the 8 p.m. hour. But ABC has traditionally struggled to launch new shows on Thursdays at 8, and “Grey’s” will also give the network a strong competitor to CBS’ powerful comedy “The Big Bang Theory” once football ends.

ABC’s other big move: On Tuesdays, the network will launch two new comedies, “Selfie” and “Manhattan Love Story,” at 8/7c, and move “Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.” to 9/8c. It will then use “S.H.I.E.L.D.” to launch new drama “Forever” at 10/9c.

“Forever” is a medical mystery drama with a twist: New York’s star medical examiner (Ioan Gruffudd) is immortal. “Selfie” stars Karen Gillian as a social media star who actually has no friends. “Manhattan Love Story” is a romantic comedy about a new couple.

On Wednesdays, ABC has moved critically acclaimed freshman comedy “The Goldbergs” to 8:30/7:30 behind “The Middle.” And at 9:30/8:30 in the plum post-“Modern Family” slot, ABC is finally putting a family comedy there — Anthony Anderson starrer “Black-ish.”

ABC’s other new fall comedy is “Cristela,” which will air Fridays at 8:30/7:30 behind “Last Man Standing.” “Cristela” stars Cristela Alonzo as a young professional balancing her work life and her home life.

New shows also include “Marvel’s Agent Carter,” which will air in “S.H.I.E.L.D.’s” timeslot between the show’s fall finale and winter premiere. And new fantasy musical “Galavant” will air during “Once Upon A Time’s” winter hiatus.

Other shows on the bench for midseason: Dramas “American Crime,” “Secrets and Lies” and “The Whispers,” and comedy “Fresh Off The Boat”.

Here’s ABC’s fall schedule:

MONDAY: 8 - “Dancing with the Stars”; 10 - “Castle”

TUESDAY: 8 - “Selfie” (new); 8:30 - “Manhattan Love Story” (new); 9 - “Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.”; 10 - “Forever” (new)

WEDNESDAY: 8 - “The Middle”; 8:30 - “The Goldbergs”; 9 - “Modern Family”; 9:30 - “Black-ish” (new); 10 - “Nashville”

THURSDAY: 8 - “Grey’s Anatomy”; 9 - “Scandal”; 10 - “How to Get Away with Murder” (new)

FRIDAY: 8 - “Last Man Standing”; 8:30 - “Cristela” (new); 9 - “Shark Tank”; 10 - “20/20”

SATURDAY: 8 - “Saturday Night Football”

SUNDAY: 7 - “America’s Funniest Home Videos”; 8 - “Once Upon A Time”; 9 - “Resurrection”; 10 - “Revenge”
