On Monday night, the CBS lineup rose across the board. The best rise came from Kevin Can Wait, which was up 1.3 million viewers and three tenths in the demo. The demo is the best since early November and the viewer total is the best since it was following The Big Bang Theory at the beginning of the season. At 8:30pm, Man with a Plan was up 1.1 million viewers and three tenths in the demo. The viewer total is a series high and the demo was the best since the series premiere. At 9pm, 2 Broke Girls was up half a million viewers and two tenths in the demo. Despite having a new lead-in this week, The Odd Couple was up six tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo. At 10pm, Scorpion was up four tenths in viewers and even in the demo. On ABC, The Bachelor was up six tenths in viewers and two tenths in the demo, remaining one of the absolute beasts in broadcast. Two more episodes of Big Fan were on par respective to their episodes last week. Quantico starts in this slot next week.

On NBC, The New Celebrity Apprentice was up four tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo. Then Timeless returned to the lineup for the first time since December 12. It was down 1.3 million viewers and a tenth in the demo. And finally, on January 16, NBC has its first Mon-Thurs show go below a 0.9 demo. That was an impressive streak considering the other networks accomplished that much earlier in the season. It also is probably the final nail in the coffin for Timeless, which has been just barely hanging on at respectable levels. Finally on FOX, their drama lineup came back for a three week run before 24: Legacy and APB take over Monday nights. Gotham was up three tenths in viewers and two tenths in the demo while Lucifer was down a tenth in viewers and even in the demo. I do not understand why FOX scheduled these shows the way they did. They now will be airing into the summer when they could have aired new episodes for three weeks in December (instead of 0) and five weeks in January (instead of 3). That's six episodes they could have gotten in before making way for the midseason lineup. I truly don't get it.

WINNER OF THE NIGHT: Kevin Can Wait (CBS)
LOSER OF THE NIGHT: Timeless (NBC)

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...
