On Monday night, Supergirl flied high for CBS. But first, the final Monday episode of The Big Bang Theory was up 1.6 million viewers and half a demo point for its best performance since the season premiere. It will return to Thursdays starting next week but first, it provided a powerful lead-in to the new Supergirl. Supergirl delivered 13 million viewers (a high for a new show this season) and a 3.1 demo (tying Blindspot for a new show high). It also stayed steady across the hour, which is an encouraging sign. It has to self-start at 8pm next week but it absolutely got itself off on the right track as there was some real interest here. It led into a 90 minute edition of Scorpion, which was up two tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo. The pessimistic view here is a much bigger lead-in didn't make much of a difference while the optimistic view is it held steady despite airing at an odd time and it also delivered the best demo since the season premiere.

The rest of the networks didn't feel a hit from a stronger CBS. On NBC, The Voice was up half a million viewers and a tenth in the demo and that helped Blindspot steady itself as it was up a tenth in viewers and even in the demo. There was some question about whether Gotham would be able to co-exist with a fellow superhero show in the hour. The first week seemed to suggest that they have different audiences as Gotham was actually up a tenth in viewers and two tenths in the demo from last week's series low. At 9pm, Minority Report was up a tenth in viewers and even in the demo. On ABC, Dancing with the Stars was the only show to drop in the demo as it was down six tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo.

WINNER OF THE NIGHT: Supergirl (CBS)
LOSER OF THE NIGHT: Dancing with the Stars (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...

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...
