It was a very rough Tuesday night as Daylight Savings seemed to have an effect for the first time in three days, and everything was down except for one show. On NBC, The Voice started things off down 1.8 million viewers and three tenths in the demo. The only show to hold steady was Chicago Fire which was down half a million viewers but even in the demo. On a night where everything dropped, this was particularly impressive. Over on CBS, NCIS started things off down 1.2 million viewers and a tenth in the demo for a series low. It was particularly ugly for NCIS: New Orleans, which was down 1.1 million viewers and a big three tenths in the demo for an easy series low. I don't really know what happened here, but this is pretty terrible for a show that should be easily retaining a lot of the NCIS number. At 10pm, Person of Interest was down nine tenths in viewers and two tenths in the demo. The viewer total was a series low.

On ABC, Fresh Off the Boat started things off down nine tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo. It's continuing to drop, but it could be worse. I still think it's doing enough to get a second season. At 8:30pm, Repeat After Me was down six tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo. It is dropping every week and quickly heading from a serviceable filler to a cancellation. At 9pm, Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. was down seven tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo. The viewer total is a series low while the demo ties it. Finally on FOX, Hell's Kitchen was down six tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo while The Mindy Project followed a New Girl repeat and was down three tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo for a series low. It has hit 1.0 and 1.1 demos often but this was the first time it dipped below that.

WINNER OF THE NIGHT: Chicago Fire (NBC)
LOSER OF THE NIGHT: NCIS: New Orleans (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

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...
