On Thursday night, FOX aired its musical, the reboot of The Rocky Horror Show and the results were OK. It was a big improvement on FOX's usual Thursday lineup but not anywhere close to what Grease: Live got on a Sunday in January. This special got a ton of promotion but it could never seem to capture a lot of buzz. It did skew pretty young though. On ABC, Grey's Anatomy was rock solid as usual, up four tenths in viewers and even in the demo. At 9pm, Notorious was even in viewers and up a tenth in the demo. I fear as though Notorious has once again done enough for ABC not to make a move even though they should because of the black hole its being in the middle of an important lineup for them. At 10pm, How to Get Away with Murder was up three tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo from last week's series low.

CBS had their final Thursday Night Football night and it was down slightly from last week. Next week it is on the NFL Network only before NBC takes over the package while the CBS regular lineup premieres next week. On NBC, the comedies seemingly took a hit against Rocky Horror. Superstore was down two tenths in viewers and the demo. This is its lowest showing besides a burnoff in late December last year and now it has to face The Big Bang Theory next week. The Good Place was down four tenths in viewers and two tenths in the demo but again even with its lead-in in the demo. At 9pm, Chicago Med continued the series low parade and was down a tenth in viewers and the demo. At 10pm, The Blacklist managed to not drop in the demo as it was down six tenths in viewers but even in the demo. Finally on the CW, DC's Legends of Tomorrow was even in viewers and actually up a tenth in the demo from last week's season premiere while Supernatural was down a rough six tenths in viewers and two tenths in the demo, tying a series low in the latter category.

WINNER OF THE NIGHT: DC's Legends of Tomorrow (CW)
LOSER OF THE NIGHT: Superstore (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...

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...
