On Wednesday night, CBS had a DOA premiere with Doubt. The new drama skewed very old and was completely ignored in the demo with a 0.8. So will CBS replace this or Training Day with Criminal Minds: Beyond Borders before the season ends? And this can't be bad news for Code Black, which routinely was doing at least a little bit better than this in the same slot. Earlier in the night, Hunted was down a tenth in viewers and even in the demo while Criminal Minds was up six tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo. On NBC, Blindspot had an ugly week, dropping half a million viewers and two tenths in the demo for a new series low. This might be the final nail in the coffin for Blindspot. At 9pm, Law & Order: SVU was down nine tenths in viewers and two tenths in the demo from last week's 400th episode. Despite the two tenths drops for the first two dramas, Chicago PD was up four tenths in viewers and even in the demo.

On ABC, three comedies were steady but centerpiece Modern Family had an ugly drop. First up, The Goldbergs was up three tenths in viewers and even in the demo while Speechless was up a tenth in viewers and also even in the demo. Then came Modern Family, which was randomly down four tenths in viewers and a rough three tenths in the demo to tie a series low. I'm not sure what happened here or why it dropped so hard when everything around it was steady but I do think it'll get into the 1st for the first time ever sometime this season. At 9:30pm, Black-ish was even while Match Game was even in viewers and down a tenth in the demo. On FOX, Lethal Weapon was up a tenth in viewers and a tenth in the demo while Star was even in viewers and down a tenth in the demo. Finally on the CW, Arrow and The 100 were both up a tenth in viewers and even in the demo.

WINNER OF THE NIGHT: Chicago PD (NBC)
LOSER OF THE NIGHT: Doubt (CBS)

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...
