On Wednesday night, NBC had a good night thanks to another crossover event. First up, The Mysteries of Laura was even in viewers and up a tenth in the demo. At 9pm, Law & Order: SVU was up three tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo. The best bounce of the crossover belonged to Chicago PD, which was up 1.1 million viewers and a good three tenths in the demo. These are all solid shows individually but the crossover events have been very kind to the Dick Wolf universe. On FOX, American Idol was even in viewers and down a tenth in the demo while Hell's Kitchen was down two tenths in viewers and the demo as it may have felt the weight of the 9pm competition this week.

The ABC comedy lineup returned for the first time in three weeks and it was pretty soft, which tends to be the case after a couple weeks off with this lineup. The Middle was down three tenths in viewers and even in the demo, while The Goldbergs was even in the 8pm hour. At 9pm, Modern Family was down four tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo from its last new episode a month ago. Black-ish was up three tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo from its last episode, which followed a Family repeat. At 10pm, American Crime was down half a million viewers but up a tenth in the demo. ABC has been absolutely dreadful in the 10pm hour this week.

Finally, CBS had the final week with its Wednesday comedy hour. 2 Broke Girls was up a tenth in viewers and even in the demo while Mike & Molly was down two tenths in viewers and even in the demo. These two shows certainly held down the fort in between editions of Survivor in a difficult situation. CBS could have done (and has done) a lot worse in this bridge slot before. Girls will move back to Thursday at 9:30pm next week while no slot has been announced for the rest of Mike & Molly's final season. At 9pm, Criminal Minds may have taken a hit from Law & Order: SVU as it fell two tenths in viewers and the demo. At 10pm, Code Black was up two tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo from last week, when it followed a repeat of Minds.

WINNER OF THE NIGHT: Chicago PD (NBC)
LOSER OF THE NIGHT: Hell's Kitchen (FOX)

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...
