On Tuesday night, NBC had a great evening with its new Tuesday lineup. At 8pm, The Voice was up a strong 2.1 million viewers and half a demo point. It led to a very strong third week for Chicago Med, which was up a big 2.3 million viewers and two tenths in the demo. It's worth noting that the 9.9 million viewers for Med topped anything Chicago Fire and Chicago PD have ever done. This show is definitely finding an audience. At 10pm, Chicago Fire was up 1.3 million viewers and a tenth in the demo. NBC benefited from CBS being in repeats and it definitely got some of its viewers. It was CBS' turn for a classic holiday special. Their airing of Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer delivered solid ratings as always, but it was well below the last couple years. It aired a week earlier this year so that may have played a factor. Still, it's 2.4 demo topped everything on the networks except The Voice.

As usual, it was an ugly night for ABC and FOX. On ABC, The Muppets was down a tenth in viewers and the demo to another series low. This is possibly the biggest flop in a season full of them. At 8:30pm, Fresh Off the Boat was down two tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo. It tied a series low but built on The Muppets as usual. At 9pm, Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. was up two tenths in viewers and even in the demo. On FOX, Grandfathered was up four tenths in viewers and even in the demo while The Grinder was up a tenth in viewers and even in the demo. Only Scream Queens rose in the ABC & FOX mess. It was up four tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo.

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...

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...
