Tuesday night had the season premiere of Marvel's Agent Carter and the show returned to really disappointing numbers. It was four tenths below its lowest result in the demo last year. Despite this slot being a Marvel slot, it looks like Agent Carter is another limited show that is a season two disaster. ABC didn't put a ton of stock into this show but they had to hope it would do better than that. On FOX, New Girl was down three tenths in viewers and two tenths in the demo. Grandfathered followed and was down tenth in viewers and the demo. The viewer total is a series low and the demo ties a series low. At 9pm, Brooklyn Nine-Nine was down three tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo while The Grinder was even with its last airing. It's going to be a long spring for FOX on Tuesdays.

The CBS and NBC shows came back from their crossover events two weeks ago. On CBS, NCIS was down 1.5 million viewers and three tenths in the demo while NCIS: New Orleans was down a bigger four million viewers and seven tenths in the demo. The result two weeks ago was quite the aberration. At 10pm, Limitless was down a million viewers and two tenths in the demo to a new series low. At this point, this is not really an improvement over Person of Interest despite the early promise. Finally on NBC, Hollywood Game Night started things off up two tenths in viewers and the demo. At 9pm, Chicago Med was down 1.3 million viewers and three tenths in the demo from its last airing, which aired at 10pm. This is not bad at all with the much weaker lead-in. This show seems to be the real deal. At 10pm, Chicago Fire was up eight tenths in viewers and even in the demo from its last airing, which was at 9pm.

WINNER OF THE NIGHT: Chicago Fire (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...

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...
