Monday night had the premiere of the new FOX lineup. Both dramas got the same results but the meaning of that was much different. For Super Bowl lead-out, 24: Legacy, a 1.5 demo was very disappointing. Despite getting a raw deal with a very late start on Sunday night, it still got a sampling but that didn't mean anything on Monday night as a show that has been promoted this heavily and has this much brand awareness should have had a better start. But it looks like there isn't much desire for another 24, especially one without Jack Bauer. Then at 9pm, APB premiered to just a tenth lower in viewers and the same demo as its lead-in. This felt significantly different. This felt like an overachieving performance. If you had told me that 24: Legacy would get a 1.5, I would have guessed that APB would have struggled to get a 1.0 demo. But it actually showed some promise and could be this year's version of Lucifer with a surprisingly sturdy performance. But it's still early so we'll see how things go next week. On ABC, The Bachelor was up three tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo while Quantico was down two tenths in viewers and even in the demo.

On CBS, Kevin Can Wait started things out down seven tenths in viewers and two tenths in the demo. Man with a Plan followed and was down four tenths in viewers and two tenths in the demo. At 9pm was the time period premiere of Superior Donuts and it did alright, completely holding its Man with a Plan lead-in. I'd say this is a solid enough start on Mondays to give it a fighting chance for renewal. At its new 9:30pm time, 2 Broke Girls was down 1.1 million viewers and a rough four tenths in the demo. At 10pm, Scorpion was even in viewers and down a tenth in the demo. On NBC, The New Celebrity Apprentice was down two tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo and then Timeless completely collapsed. It was down six tenths in viewers and three tenths in the demo to a horrible 0.6 demo. If this show still had a small chance for renewal, that chance is completely gone now. There's no way it's coming back. Finally on the CW, both Supergirl and Jane the Virgin were even with last week.

WINNER OF THE NIGHT: APB (FOX)
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...
