Tuesday night had the time period debut of The Mick and the season premiere of the final season of Bones. First up though, New Girl was up nine tenths in viewers and three tenths in the demo at its new 8pm time. The viewer total is a season high while the demo is the best since the season premiere. Then at 8:30pm, The Mick aired in its new timeslot and showed at least a little bit of life as it built on its New Girl lead-in with a decent 1.3 demo, the best demo any regularly scheduled show has gotten on FOX Tuesday this season. It was of course down big from its big post-football premiere, but this has to be at least a little encouraging for FOX. Less encouraging was the final return of Bones, which had a low 0.9 demo. The long running drama will certainly not be going out with a bang. On CBS, NCIS was up 1.1 million viewers and a tenth in the demo. Bull was down three tenths in viewers but up a tenth in the demo. This is the first time it rose in the demo. At 10pm, NCIS: New Orleans was down four tenths in viewers and even in the demo.

On NBC, The Wall moved to its new time and did pretty well with a 1.7 demo. This is a very solid performance for a Voice hiatus filler. It led into a crossover of Chicago Fire and Chicago PD. Fire aired at 9pm and did OK while PD built on that and delivered a season high on a special night. I think this crossover would have been more of a pop if the shows aired in their regular slots but it was still a solid showing. It was a pretty good night for the ABC comedies with everything rising from the last airing. The Middle was up two tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo for its best performance since the season premiere. American Housewife was up three tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo. At 9pm, Fresh Off the Boat was up half a million viewers and two tenths in the demo, also hitting its best number since the series premiere. At 9:30pm, The Real O'Neals was up two tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo. Finally on the CW, No Tomorrow was down a tenth in viewers and even in the demo.

WINNER OF THE NIGHT: The Mick (FOX)
LOSER OF THE NIGHT: No Tomorrow (CW)

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...
