On Tuesday night, it was all about NBC with CBS in repeats. At 8pm, Hollywood Game Night was down a tenth in viewers and the demo. At 9pm, Chicago Med had a great week as it was up half a million viewers and a tenth in the demo. This show really is proving to be a self-starter and it's helping Chicago Fire out a lot. Fire was up three tenths in viewers and even in the demo. These shows are not just surviving but doing quite well without The Voice. FOX mostly inched down with their comedy lineup. New Girl was down two tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo and Grandfathered was dead even. Brooklyn Nine-Nine and The Grinder were both even in viewers and down a tenth in the demo. For The Grinder, that tied a series low in both categories.

Finally on ABC, Marvel's Agent Carter was down three tenths in viewers and even in the demo from last week's weak premiere. What Would You Do? returned for a short run but it was completely ignored and went lower than any airings last summer. ABC has pretty much run this filler show into the ground. It's worth noting that the repeat of Fresh Off the Boat topped all other ABC as well as all FOX shows in total viewers. Both Boat and The Muppets return next week in reversed timeslots from the fall.

WINNER OF THE NIGHT: Chicago Med (NBC)
LOSER OF THE NIGHT: What Would You Do? (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...
