On Monday night, Supergirl flew to the CW and had a solid start with 3.1 million viewers and a 1.1 demo. This puts it just behind The Flash for tops on the CW right now. It also hit a 1.3 demo four times on CBS last year so this was a solid start. CBS may have said goodbye to Supergirl but they had a promising premiere on their own. At 8pm, The Big Bang Theory was up a tenth in viewers and down a tenth in the demo. Kevin Can Wait followed and was down nine tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo. Then 2 Broke Girls returned with an hour long episode in the 9pm hour. It returned to a solid 6.4 million viewers and 1.7 demo. CBS will definitely take these kinds of numbers but the lead-in situation gets a little murkier in a couple weeks when The Big Bang Theory heads back to Thursdays. At 10pm, Scorpion was down 1.2 million viewers and two tenths in the demo for a series low in its first week only airing in the 10pm hour.

On NBC, The Voice was down four tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo from last week's one hour episode. Week two of Timeless had a sizable stumble, dropping 1.4 million viewers and four tenths in the demo from its so-so debut. It needed to have a decent hold thanks to a premiere that gave it very little wiggle room and this was not a good week for it. It seems likely to be one and done unless things turn around and this doesn't seem like a show where that will happen. On ABC, Dancing with the Stars was down three tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo for a season low. It led into week two of Conviction, which showed no more signs of life than week one. It was down a million viewers and a tenth in the demo. It already premiered lower than dud Notorious and now it dropped more in week two. I still think it will linger here for awhile and not get pulled instantly but this probably is the fall's biggest disappointment among new shows. Finally on FOX, Gotham was up two tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo while Lucifer was even in viewers but down a tenth in the demo for a series low.

WINNER OF THE NIGHT: Supergirl (CW)
LOSER OF THE NIGHT: Timeless (NBC)

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...
