On Monday night, many shows recovered from their dip against the Grammys. On NBC, it was a night of season finales. Superstore was back up eight tenths in viewers and two tenths in the demo. It got a well-deserved renewal today for surviving in a very difficult spot and giving NBC a glimmer of hope in the comedy world. At 8:30pm, Telenovela was up six tenths in viewers and two tenths in the demo. This one seems very unlikely to return. At 9pm, The Biggest Loser was up 1.1 million viewers and a good four tenths in the demo. This is a nice rebound for the finale. I'm not sure what NBC will do, but I think it'll be back in some capacities. I think it would be a smart thing to air this in the summer. On ABC, The Bachelor was back up 1.5 million viewers and three tenths in the demo, basically to its level from two weeks ago. Castle had a minor rebound as well, rising three tenths in viewers and two tenths in the demo.

On FOX, the season finale of the short six episode run of The X-Files was up half a million viewers and three tenths in the demo. FOX will bend over backwards to bring this back but it all depends on the creator and the actors. At 9pm, Lucifer was down two tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo despite the improved lead-in. After its promising showing last week, this was a disappointment. Finally, it was CBS which had the roughest time airing its regular lineup after it was preempted for the Grammys. Supergirl was down six tenths in viewers and three tenths in the demo. Scorpion was hit the hardest, falling 1.5 million viewers and four tenths in the demo. Both Supergirl and Scorpion tied series lows and now they must deal with the return of The Voice next week. At 10pm, NCIS: Los Angeles was down a million viewers and three tenths in the demo.

WINNER OF THE NIGHT: The X-Files (FOX)
LOSER OF THE NIGHT: Scorpion (CBS)

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...

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...

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...
