On Wednesday night, NBC had their big Chicago crossover including the series premiere of Chicago Justice. The synergy for the night yielded nice results for NBC. Chicago Fire started at 8pm and delivered its best total viewer count since December 2015. This might be a potential new timeslot for Fire next season and it certainly proved it was capable of holding its own in the hour. Chicago PD aired an hour earlier and hit a series high in total viewers and an easy season high in the demo. This also begs the question if NBC will consider moving it to the higher profile 9pm hour at some point. Finally, the series premiere of Chicago Justice ended the night. The good news is it got sampled very well and delivered a 1.7 demo, which is strong for 10pm. The only possible downside is it was the third part of a three-part crossover yet it wasn't the highest rated episode because it dropped from the PD performance at 9pm. Still, it was a great start for the fourth Chicago show and it will now try to succeed on Sundays at 9pm.

On ABC, The Goldbergs was even with last week. Modern Family aired at a special time of 8:30pm but managed to once again cling to a 2.0 demo. It's still managed to never go into the 1s but it's time is coming. Night two of When We Rise was down a million viewers and a tenth in the demo from its already very weak Monday night premiere. CBS had the season finale of Hunted and it was down three tenths in viewers and even in the demo. It quietly had a very steady run, getting either a 1.3 or 1.2 demo for every Wednesday airing. I wouldn't be surprised at all to see this return as Survivor filler next year. At 9pm, Criminal Minds was down eight tenths in viewers and even in the demo. The viewer total was a series low. On FOX, Star had to follow a repeat of Lethal Weapon and was down half a million viewers and a tenth in the demo. Finally on the CW, Arrow was up a tenth in viewers and the demo while The 100 was even with its fifth straight 0.4 demo to start its season.

WINNER OF THE NIGHT: Chicago PD (NBC)
LOSER OF THE NIGHT: When We Rise (ABC)

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...
