Tuesday night had a nice surprise for ABC with another strong week from Fresh Off the Boat. In its second week in its regular timeslot, the comedy was up a tenth in viewers and two tenths in the demo from last week's 8:00 episode. This is definitely a show that should be nurtured because ABC has something here. A cheap filler followed with the series premiere of new unscripted comedy series Repeat After Me. It did well enough for what it is. At 9pm, Marvel's Agent Carter was down a tenth in viewers and even in the demo. Over on CBS, NCIS was down seven tenths in viewers and three tenths in the demo. NCIS: New Orleans followed down 1.5 million viewers and three tenths in the demo for its worst performance since December. Person of Interest didn't take the hit the NCIS twins did. It was down just four tenths in viewers and even in the demo.

On the final Tuesday before The Voice, NBC saw a slight rebound for Parks and Recreation in the 8pm hour as each episode was up a tenth in the demo. The series finale is next week. At 9pm, Marry Me was down a tenth in viewers and even in the demo while About a Boy was down three tenths in viewers and two tenths in the demo for a series low. Chicago Fire was dead even with last week, but still low. It probably won't have as bad a lead-in again this season, so that should help. Finally, FOX had a big rebound for Masterchef Junior. It was up nine tenths in viewers and four tenths in the demo to tie a series high. I'm not sure what happened last week, but this was a good bounce back. At 9pm, New Girl was up four tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo while The Mindy Project was up two tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo.

WINNER OF THE NIGHT: Masterchef Junior (FOX)
LOSER OF THE NIGHT: About a Boy (NBC)

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...
