On Monday night, NBC had the season finale of The New Celebrity Apprentice and it was even with last week's two hour episode. This was pretty low rated but I don't think it was to the point of not having a chance of renewal as a filler. I could still see it come back but it may not be in the 2017-18 season and may not be with Arnold Schwarzenegger. At 10pm, Timeless recovered just slightly from last week's terrible fall as it was up a tenth in viewers and the demo. CBS was very close to last week across the board. Kevin Can Wait and Superior Donuts were both even while Man with a Plan was down a tenth in viewers and even in the demo, 2 Broke Girls was even in viewers and down a tenth in the demo, and Scorpion was down six tenths in viewers and even in the demo. This is probably most encouraging for Superior Donuts, which is holding up well and fitting in nicely to the comedy lineup. I think its chances of getting a second season are very good at this point.

The FOX newbies didn't fare as well as Donuts. Week two of 24: Legacy was down 1.1 million viewers and three tenths in the demo. So much for the Super Bowl giving this show a boost as its already down to a 1.2. But the news was even worse for APB, which was down a rough 1.6 million viewers and half a demo point from last week's promising start. This was a big rejection week to week and probably will doom this show. On ABC, The Bachelor was up a tenth in viewers and even in the demo, easily topping all Monday shows. At 10pm, Quantico continued to squander its lead-in, dropping two tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo, tying a series low. ABC should just pull this show, honestly. They could get more mileage airing a game show here for the rest of the season. Finally on the CW, Supergirl was up a tenth in viewers and the demo while Jane the Virgin was up two tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo.

WINNER OF THE NIGHT: Superior Donuts (CBS)
LOSER OF THE NIGHT: APB (FOX)

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...
