Well the Super Bowl lead-out slot did absolutely nothing to help New Girl and Brooklyn Nine-Nine as both shows were down from their last regular airings. First up on FOX was Dads which was down two tenths in viewers and even in the demo. It actually beat Brooklyn in the demo as this show hasn't quite gotten the credit it maybe deserves for the way it has held steady this season. At 9pm, New Girl was down three tenths in viewers and the demo to tie a series low. Brooklyn Nine-Nine aired in its new timeslot after New Girl and was down a rough 1.4 million viewers and half a demo point. An 8:30pm repeat did almost as well so maybe FOX would have been better off leaving it in its original timeslot. On NBC, an Olympics special did OK at 8pm while the two hour season finale of The Biggest Loser aired from 9-11pm. It was up nine tenths in viewers and half a demo point from last week's 8pm episode. However, it was down half a demo point from last year's finale so this show is still looking a little tired. NBC was definitely smart to keep it to one edition per year. 

Over on CBS, NCIS started things off down two tenths in viewers but up a tenth in the demo for its best demo since October 15. At 9pm, NCIS: Los Angeles was up four tenths in viewers and a strong four tenths in the demo for its best demo since the season premiere. Will next year finally be the year this show is on the move? At 10pm, Person of Interest was down a tenth in viewers but up a tenth in the demo for its best demo since November 26. On ABC, Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. returned after two weeks of repeats and it was up two tenths in viewers and even in the demo. After dropping rapidly for several weeks, this show has leveled off in the last two months. At 9pm, The Goldbergs was up two tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo while Trophy Wife was down two tenths in viewers and even in the demo. At 10pm, Killer Women was down half a million viewers and even in the demo. It will burn off two more episodes during the Olympics then it's done.

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...

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...
