It was a rough Tuesday for some shows so it was really a matter of the ones that held up looking impressive. FOX started with Glee down three tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo for another series low. And it keeps getting worse. The season finale of the comedies followed. New Girl was up two tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo while The Mindy Project was up three tenths in viewers and two tenths in the demo. The Mindy Project built on the freefalling New Girl for the first time ever. What in the world is FOX going to do with this night next year? On NBC, The Voice is really having a major swoon as it fell half a million viewers and two tenths in the demo for another season low. It's taking down the comedies with it as About a Boy was down three tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo while Growing Up Fisher was down half a million viewers and two tenths in the demo. Both hit more series lows and are looking real suspect for airing in any other possible NBC slot. The best news for NBC came from Chicago Fire, which was down two tenths in viewers but up a tenth in the demo, winning its hour.

On ABC, Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. was down six tenths in viewers and two tenths in the demo. After last week's rise, The Goldbergs tumbled six tenths in viewers and a rough four tenths in the demo for a series low. Trophy Wife was down seven tenths in viewers and three tenths in the demo, also hitting a series low at a horrible 0.7 demo. This should be the final nail in the coffin for Trophy Wife while everyone still fully expects The Goldbergs to be back. At 10pm, Celebrity Wife Swap was up a tenth in viewers and the demo. Finally on CBS, NCIS was down 1.4 million viewers and two tenths in the demo, NCIS: Los Angeles was down seven tenths in viewers but up a tenth in the demo, and Person of Interest was down eight tenths in viewers and two tenths in the demo, tying a series low.

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...
