On Tuesday night, NBC started things with The Biggest Loser, which was down half a million viewers and a heavy three tenths in the demo, tying a season low. At 9pm, The Voice returned to one hour but it didn't make much of a difference. It was up three tenths in viewers and even in the demo. At 10pm, Chicago Fire returned after two weeks off and it was up two tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo despite its Voice lead-in being down seven tenths from that day. This was a strong return for NBC's sophomore drama. CBS was basically steady from last week or slightly up. NCIS was up two tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo, NCIS: Los Angeles was up a tenth in viewers and even in the demo, and Person of Interest was up eight tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo as it didn't have to face The Voice this week.

ABC saw yet another dive from Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. as it fell another half a million viewers and three tenths in the demo. Things are getting pretty bad for this show which continues to drop. It hasn't been able to slow the bleeding and it seems like it's a matter of time before it gets in the 1s for the demo after a 4.7 premiere not even two months ago. Next week is a cross-promotion with the new Thor movie in theaters and they better hope some of the millions of people who have gone to see the movie will tune in. At 9pm, The Goldbergs was up two tenths in viewers and two tenths in the demo from the series low. It's official now, this show has a completely different audience than Marvel as it's not following any sort of pattern. It is worth noting that it had its best retention yet. At 9:30pm, Trophy Wife was even in viewers and up a tenth in the demo. Its next new episode will not air until December.

FOX had a pretty rough night as nothing topped a 1.7 demo and everything was down. At 8pm, Dads fell half a million viewers and two tenths in the demo for a series low. Was a 1.2 demo worth a full season renewal? At 8:30pm, Brooklyn Nine-Nine was down half a million viewers and two tenths in the demo as the freshman comedy block had a rough week. At 9pm, New Girl was down two tenths in viewers and three tenths in the demo for a series low. This show has really fallen apart since its breakout first season. At 9:30pm, The Mindy Project was down two tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo. The only saving grace is that all these shows skew quite young.

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...
