Tuesday night had the Vice Presidential Debate eating up 9-11pm on four networks but its combined ratings were the worst since 2000. Only CW aired a regular lineup with their Tuesday premiere night. At 8pm, The Flash was down just a tenth in the demo from last year's premiere but it held up extremely well throughout the season so we'll see if that happens again. It beat FOX and was a tenth behind ABC in the demo. It led into the premiere of No Tomorrow, which did not get off to a good start at a 0.5 demo. While this might be OK for the CW regularly, it was weak for a premiere where there was little entertainment competition. With four shows on the bench, No Tomorrow may only see half a season. The 8pm hour for the other networks was pretty standard. NBC had a clip show of The Voice, which did pretty well for a clip show. As usual, NBC was also on top among the broadcast networks for debate analysis. On CBS, NCIS had a down week, dropping 1.1 million viewers and two tenths in the demo, tying a series low. On ABC, the results edition of Dancing with the Stars was up a million viewers and a tenth in the demo. It will return to one night a week next week as the comedy lineup premieres next Tuesday. Finally on FOX, Brooklyn Nine-Nine was up a tenth in viewers and even in the demo while New Girl was even with last week.

WINNER OF THE NIGHT: The Flash (CW)
LOSER OF THE NIGHT: No Tomorrow (CW)

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...
