One week after Election Night preempted everything, most Tuesday shows were up from their last airings two weeks ago. The entire ABC comedy lineup was up by at least a tenth in the demo. At 8pm, The Middle was up eight tenths in viewers and a nice two tenths in the demo for its best performance since the season premiere. This is closer to what ABC was probably hoping for from this show on Tuesdays. American Housewife had the smallest rise, but it was still up two tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo. It did not build on The Middle but it still tied it in the demo and is a perfect fit. At 9pm, Fresh Off the Boat was up eight tenths in viewers and two tenths in the demo while The Real O'Neals was up nine tenths in viewers and a good three tenths in the demo. A David Blaine special at 10pm was a significant improvement on the usual Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. numbers. CBS was steady for the most part and not up like the other networks. NCIS was up six tenths in viewers and even in the demo. At 9pm, Bull was up three tenths in viewers and even in the demo. NCIS: New Orleans closed out the night down four tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo. It was the only show on any network to drop from its last airing.

On NBC, The Voice was up four tenths in viewers and even in the demo with its last regular Tuesday airing. At 9pm, This is Us had another fantastic week, rising a million viewers and three tenths in the demo. Interruptions in the weekly airings aren't hurting the biggest new hit of the season. At 10pm, Chicago Fire was up three tenths in viewers and even in the demo. The CW saw a nice rise for The Flash, which was up two tenths in viewers and a big four tenths in the demo for its best performance since the season premiere. No Tomorrow couldn't benefit as it was just even. The CW announced today that both No Tomorrow and Frequency would not get back orders though they are not officially cancelled. Finally, FOX aired its regular lineup for the first time in nearly a month due to the World Series and the election. Brooklyn Nine-Nine was up a tenth in viewers and even in the demo, New Girl was up a tenth in viewers and a tenth in the demo. At 9pm, Scream Queens was even at a very weak 0.6 demo.

WINNER OF THE NIGHT: The Flash (CW)
LOSER OF THE NIGHT: NCIS: New Orleans (CBS)

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...
