As expected, it was NBC leading Tuesday night. At 8pm, The Voice was up three tenths in viewers and two tenths in the demo from last week's troubling drop. At 9pm, Chicago Med had a great night, rising eight tenths in viewers and two tenths in the demo. The viewer total was the best since December. Chicago Fire finished the night off even with last week. On ABC, Fresh Off the Boat returned after two weeks off to a solid result. It was up half a million viewers and two tenths in the demo for its best performance since March 8. At 8:30pm, The Real O'Neals was also up half a million viewers and two tenths from last week, when it followed a repeat. At 9pm, Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. was up three tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo. At 10pm, Beyond the Tank was even.

Over on CBS, the season finale of Limitless followed repeats but was even with last week. I'm not sure it deserves to, but I definitely see this show coming back for a second season. Finally on FOX, there were three episodes of New Girl airing with new ones at 8pm and 9pm. The 8pm episode was up half a million viewers and two tenths in the demo from last week but the 9pm episode tied the series low set last week and there was no interest in the Prince cameo repeat that aired at 9:30pm. The only non-New Girl show was Grandfathered, which was new for the first time since March 8 and it ended up crashing to a series low by two tenths in the demo. I keep hearing that either Grandfathered or The Grinder will get renewed, but does either one deserve to? I don't think so.

WINNER OF THE NIGHT: Chicago Med (NBC)
LOSER OF THE NIGHT: Grandfathered (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...

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...
