Tuesday night had another drop from Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. as it dropped half a million viewers and a tenth in the demo. The numbers are decent but this is nowhere near what ABC was hoping for. At 9pm, The Goldbergs rose for the first time as it was up a tenth both in viewers and the demo. The retention was also better than last week considering Marvel was down. At 9:30pm though Trophy Wife was even in viewers but down a tenth in the demo for a series low. ABC has to figure things out with four modestly performing new comedies, trouble with the Friday comedy lineup, and only two comedies on the bench (Suburgatory and the new Mixology). I think we'll see some decisions in the next 2-3 weeks. At 10pm, a repeat of Shark Tank did better than last week's Scandal repeat. ABC still hasn't announced what will permanently occupy this slot though there are rumors of former occupant Body of Proof being resurrected.

Over on CBS, NCIS was up two tenths in viewers and down a tenth in the demo. It doesn't seem to be negatively impacted by Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. at all. At 9pm, NCIS: Los Angeles was also up two tenths in viewers and down a tenth in the demo. The best news for CBS came at 10pm where Person of Interest was up half a million viewers for a season high and even in the demo. It also beat Chicago Fire for the first time in the demo so that's a big plus for CBS and Person seems to have finally stabilized a slot that has been trouble for CBS.

On NBC, The Biggest Loser started off the night down half a million viewers and three tenths in the demo from last week's season premiere. If it can level off here, that will be just fine for NBC in this slot. At 9pm, The Voice was up a tenth in viewers and the demo which is good for a show that always fades as the season wears on. At 10pm, Chicago Fire fell six tenths in viewers and two tenths in the demo despite its lead-in being up. This show is still doing fine but it doesn't seem to really be benefiting from its lead-in anymore as it hovered just below these numbers last year. I think it would actually do about the same even if The Voice wasn't in front of it.

Finally, FOX had a pretty bad night as usual. At 8pm, Dads was up two tenths in viewers but down a tenth in the demo. FOX still hasn't announced a decision on whether this show will get a full season or not. I think it'll at least get some additional episodes. At 8:30pm, Brooklyn Nine-Nine had the best week-to-week performance as it was up four tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo for its best demo performance since the second episode. It actually topped New Girl in total viewers and was just two tenths behind it in the demo. Speaking of New Girl, that show was up two tenths in viewers but even in the demo. The Mindy Project continued to be the weakest link as it was even in viewers and down a tenth in the demo. FOX really should not keep going with this show, it's never going to catch on.

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...

EPISODE GUIDES: Rhoda Season Five

On Thursdays, I go through classic series with a critical look at each season. Today I am looking at Season Five (the final season) of  Rhoda ! RHODA: SEASON FIVE 1978 13 episodes Rhoda' s final season was a truncated one as the show was cancelled in December 1978 after only 13 episodes had been produced (and only nine had aired). This feels like a continuation from season four in many ways except with the ill-advised split between Ida and Martin (more on that below). While  Rhoda  has an occasional good moment and even a couple decent episodes, it is a show that seems so wildly different from season one and not in a good way.  Rhoda  could never figure out what it fully wanted to be and only made it four and a half seasons as a result. Starring Valerie Harper as Rhoda Morgenstern  (13 episodes) Julie Kavner as Brenda Morgenstern  (13 episodes) Ray Buktenica as Benny Goodwin  (11 episodes) Kenneth McMillan as Jack Doyle  (9 episodes) Nancy Wa...

SCHEDULES OF THE PAST: 1995-1996 Thursdays

On Tuesdays, I take a look at schedules from yesteryear. Here's a look at Thursdays in the 1995-96 season! ABC 8:00 8:30 9:00 10:00 Sep Charlie Grace The Monroes Various Programs Oct Murder One Nov Various Programs Dec Various Programs Thursday Night Movie Jan Feb World’s Funniest Videos Before They Were Stars! Mar Apr May NBC was the powerhouse on Thursday nights but ABC still gave it the old college try in the Fall of 1995 with a trio of new dramas that they hoped would help them cut into the Peacock's dominance. Headlining their night was Murder One , a high profile new show from Steven Bochco that received much of the network's attention before the season started. The series focused on one murder case for an entire season, whi...
