Week three started with the newbies slipping a little bit more. On CBS, The Big Bang Theory started things out down six tenths in viewers and three tenths in the demo. It's hard to tell if this show is slowing down a little bit or if it's the Monday competition. We'll have to see when it returns to Thursday. After an incredible week two hold, Scorpion did not hold up as well in week three. It was down 1.5 million viewers and six tenths in the demo. This is a pretty steep drop, but maybe it's just making up for last week's hold. We'll have to see next week. The news was not good at 10pm where NCIS: Los Angeles fell eight tenths in viewers and three tenths in the demo for another series low. While it's still a better option than Hostages or Intelligence were last year, CBS had to be expecting more from this show. On ABC, Dancing with the Stars was up two tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo. It was the only show on Monday that went up week-to-week. At 10pm, Castle was down nine tenths in viewers and two tenths in the demo from last week's season premiere.

NBC easily won the night in the demo again, but both shows were down. At 8pm, The Voice was down half a million viewers and three tenths in the demo as the blind auditions ended. At 10pm, The Blacklist was down half a million viewers and two tenths in the demo. This was its lowest performance with a Voice lead-in yet. It's still strong, but I think NBC would like to see it a little bit stronger before it flies on its own later in the season. Finally on FOX, week three of Gotham was down 1.1 million viewers and three tenths in the demo. This wasn't a horrible third week drop, but FOX needs it to stabilize soon. At 9pm, Sleepy Hollow was down half a million viewers and even in the demo.

WINNER OF THE NIGHT: Dancing with the Stars (ABC)
LOSER OF THE NIGHT: NCIS: Los Angeles (CBS)

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...
