Viewers: 11.6 million, 18-49 demo: 3.6

FOX 
8:00 The X Factor
Viewers: 4.9 million, 18-49 demo: 1.5 

On Tuesday night, The Voice annihilated The X Factor. NBC started off the night with The Biggest Loser which was down six tenths in viewers and two tenths in the demo. At 9pm, The Voice was two hours and the 10pm hour seemed to have a negative impact as it was down 1.5 million viewers and half a demo point. Its 3.6 demo was still tops though. Over on ABC, Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. was a repeat but the good news was there was no negative impact on the comedies that followed as The Goldbergs was up two tenths in viewers and even in the demo while Trophy Wife was up two tenths in viewers and the demo. This is arguably the best performance for the comedies yet even though their overall numbers were low. It also goes to show that there is very little crossover audience with Marvel. I really think ABC is either going to try these shows out on Wednesday or air them all year on Tuesday. I don't see them abandoning either show yet.

On CBS, NCIS started the night off up three tenths in viewers and even in the demo. At 9pm, NCIS: Los Angeles was even in viewers and up a tenth in the demo. Person of Interest closed the night down 1.2 million viewers and three tenths in the demo. While a big fall and a season low, it doesn't usually have to face The Voice so I don't think this is a terrible performance. Finally, FOX had a disastrous night with The X Factor as a special Tuesday airing was left in the dust with a series low. Some of this could be chalked up to the different night but the problem is bigger than that. Against a hot franchise, The X Factor just looks like a dud. FOX would have been better off with its comedies.

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...

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...

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...
