On Valentine's Day, most shows were down a little bit but they were not hit that hard probably because Valentine's Day landing midweek meant less of a damper on TV watching. CBS had the steadiest week with two shows actually rising in the demo. NCIS was down three tenths in viewers but up a tenth in the demo. Bull was down two tenths in viewers and even in the demo. A crossover with NCIS helped NCIS: New Orleans gets out of the doldrums of the last couple episodes as it was up 1.3 million viewers and two tenths in the demo. The viewer total was the best since September. On NBC, The Wall was down three tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo. This is Us was dinged a bit by the holiday, dropping six tenths in viewers and two tenths in the demo. At 10pm, Chicago Fire was down a tenth in viewers and even in the demo.

On ABC, The Middle was down a tenth in viewers and the demo while American Housewife was down a tenth in viewers and even in the demo. This is the first time since December 6 that Housewife has matched Middle in the demo. At 9pm, Fresh Off the Boat was noticeably down more than the other comedies and even other network shows. It dropped a tenth in viewers and two tenths in the demo for a season low. At 9:30pm, The Real O'Neals was up a tenth in viewers and down a tenth in the demo. At 10pm, Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. was even in viewers and down a tenth in the demo. Finally on FOX, New Girl was down a tenth in viewers and the demo, The Mick was even, and Bones was down a tenth in viewers and up a tenth in the demo.

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...
