Tuesday night brought the latest installment of NBC's hit Chicago franchise. First up, however, The Voice was up three tenths in viewers and down a tenth in the demo from last week's two hour edition. Then Chicago Med premiered with its strong lead-in and it delivered a very solid 8.6 million viewers and 2.2 demo, topping the premieres of both Chicago Fire and Chicago PD. It did what it had to and seems to be a good fit out of The Voice, but that show is only lasting until mid December and then it could have a tougher road. At 10pm, Chicago Fire fit like a glove with Med, but it was down two tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo from last week, when it followed The Voice. On FOX, it was more of the same. Grandfathered was down a tenth in viewers and even in the demo. It has gotten a 1.0 demo for five straight episodes. The Grinder was down two tenths in viewers and up a tenth in the demo and Scream Queens was down a tenth in viewers and even in the demo.

CBS held up pretty well and NCIS is not getting hit hard by The Voice this year. It was down just a tenth in viewers and the demo. At 9pm, NCIS: New Orleans didn't have to deal with Voice competition, but it could barely capitalize. It was up six tenths in viewers and even in the demo. In a year with a lot of troubling ratings performances, I think this has been one of the biggest underperformers. At 10pm, Limitless was up four tenths in viewers and down a tenth in the demo. It seems like Limitless is settling into being a Chicago PD type player for CBS. Finally on ABC, The Muppets was even with last week while Fresh Off the Boat was up a tenth in viewers and the demo. Boat continues to impress in a difficult situation. At 9pm, Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. was up a tenth in viewers and even in the demo. A repeat of Shark Tank took over for the cancelled Wicked City and was an improvement in the demo from last week by three tenths.

WINNER OF THE NIGHT: Chicago Med (NBC)
LOSER OF THE NIGHT: The Muppets (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...
