On Tuesday night, The Voice ended its fall run rising a nice 1.9 million viewers and six tenths in the demo. It was down from last fall's finale but had a bigger spike relative to its recent ratings so that was a positive. This fall's edition of The Voice started really well but had some rough year-to-year trends as it went on. We'll see how the spring goes but the good news for NBC is they are much better equipped to weather The Voice hiatus than they were a couple years ago. The Voice will be back at the end of February. On the other end of the spectrum, it was FOX with another weak night. Brooklyn Nine-Nine was down a tenth in viewers and the demo and New Girl was down a tenth in viewers and even in the demo. At 9pm, Scream Queens barely stayed above a million viewers, falling a tenth in viewers and staying even in the demo.

On CBS, NCIS was up a tenth in viewers and down a tenth in the demo, tying a series low. This was a pretty bad result considering it only had to face the recap hour of The Voice. At 9pm, Bull was down a tenth in viewers and the demo. The demo is a new series low. At 10pm, NCIS: New Orleans was up six tenths in viewers and even in the demo despite the final hour of The Voice airing against it. Finally on ABC, the comedies and their Christmas episodes were up across the board. At 8pm, The Middle was up three tenths in viewers and two tenths in the demo for a nice rebound. American Housewife was up two tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo. At 9pm, Fresh Off the Boat and The Real O'Neals were both even in viewers and up a tenth in the demo.

WINNER OF THE NIGHT: The Voice (NBC)
LOSER OF THE NIGHT: NCIS (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...
