On Tuesday night, the This is Us monster kept rolling on NBC. The drama phenom was up half a million viewers and a tenth in the demo. The viewer total was a series high and the demo total tied a series high. It will return on January 10 and could break a 3.0 demo during the highly viewed January month. Earlier in the night, The Voice was down four tenths in viewers and even in the demo while the 100th episode of Chicago Fire ended the night down a tenth in viewers and even in the demo. On CBS, NCIS was down three tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo. Bull was up eight tenths in viewers and even in the demo and NCIS: New Orleans was up nine tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo. The latter two dramas may have been up in total viewers because they faced the Dancing with the Stars finale the last time they were new.

It was a weak night for the ABC family comedies with everything down. The Middle, The Real O'Neals, and Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. tied series lows while American Housewife hit a series low outright in the demo. Only Fresh Off the Boat was spared from that. Compared to last week, The Middle was down half a million viewers and two tenths in the demo, Housewife was down half a million viewers and a tenth in the demo, Fresh was down three tenths in viewers and two tenths in the demo, O'Neals was down two tenths in viewers and the demo, and Marvel was even in viewers and down a tenth in the demo. On the CW, The Flash was down 1.1 million viewers and three tenths in the demo from last week's big crossover but it was still on the high end of its performances this year. At 9pm, No Tomorrow was down a tenth in viewers and even in the demo. Finally on FOX, all three shows were even in the demo. In total viewers, Brooklyn Nine-Nine and Scream Queens were even while New Girl was down a tenth for a new series low.

WINNER OF THE NIGHT: This is Us (NBC)
LOSER OF THE NIGHT: American Housewife (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...
