Tuesday night had a series finale on NBC but first, night two of The Voice was close to its Monday premiere numbers for a strong Tuesday start. Then at 10pm was the series finale of Parks and Recreation. While its demo was the best since May 2013 and the viewer total was the best since January 2012, it still didn't go out on much of a high note. This was true to form for the show that always had a loyal following but never broke out to a mass audience. CBS took a bit of a hit from The Voice. At 8pm, NCIS was down seven tenths in viewers and three tenths in the demo while NCIS: New Orleans was down a million viewers and a tenth in the demo to tie a series low. The NCIS shows always have a tough time with The Voice. At 10pm, Person of Interest was up four tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo despite the lower lead-in.

ABC had more good news from Fresh Off the Boat as its new show held up very well against The Voice. It was down just four tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo. At 8;30pm, Repeat After Me was down half a million viewers and a tenth in the demo from last week's series premiere. At 9pm, the season finale of Marvel's Agent Carter was down two tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo. The viewer total was a series low. I don't think this will be back, but I wouldn't completely count it out. At 10pm, Forever was up a tenth in viewers and down a tenth in the demo from its last airing. Finally on FOX, Masterchef Junior was down seven tenths in viewers and two tenths in the demo for its season finale. It will surely be back in the fall as it has been a pleasant surprise on Tuesdays this year. At 9pm, New Girl was down two tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo while The Mindy Project was down two tenths in viewers and even in the demo.

WINNER OF THE NIGHT: The Voice (NBC)
LOSER OF THE NIGHT: Marvel's Agent Carter (ABC)

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...

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...
