On Thursday night, NBC saw its entire lineup rise or stay steady from last week. At 8pm, the comedies showed a little bit of promise with Superstore rising eight tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo and The Good Place rising half a million viewers and a tenth in the demo. These comedies are certainly giving NBC a glimmer of hope that they can get a pulse back in the comedy department to go with their strong drama/unscripted lineup. At 9pm, Chicago Med was up two tenths in viewers and even in the demo. Commentary has been pretty negative on this show's performance on Thursdays so far but I think it's holding up OK in a big move for its second season. At 10pm, The Blacklist was up four tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo. On CBS, an unappealing Cardinals-49ers matchup was well below the last CBS Thursday game two weeks ago.

On ABC, Grey's Anatomy remained the king of Thursdays but was down three tenths in viewers and two tenths in the demo. After holding its low premiere demo in week two, Notorious fell three tenths in viewers and two tenths in the demo to a weak 0.9 demo. Are they really going to let this linger in this important slot all the way until Scandal comes back? At 10pm, How to Get Away with Murder was up a tenth in viewers but down a tenth in the demo for a series low. Finally on FOX, Rosewood was up two tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo. After premiering with a dreadful 0.9 demo, it has risen a tenth each week the last two weeks and now it's fairly close to most FOX shows outside of Wednesday. At 9pm, Pitch was down two tenths in viewers and even in the demo, building on its lead-in for a third straight week.

WINNER OF THE NIGHT: The Good Place (NBC)
LOSER OF THE NIGHT: Notorious (ABC)

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...
