It was another night of NBC winning this week thanks to limited competition and a special airing of The Voice on the night. Airing at 8pm, it was down from its Monday and Tuesday numbers, but a big improvement on NBC's usual Thursday performance. It led to a season high of Chicago Med, which got to follow The Voice for the first time since last season. It had its best performance since April 2016. I have thought this show has done well given its circumstances this year and this performance shows there's definitely still an audience out there. It's had the toughest task of any of the Chicago shows. At 10pm, The Blacklist: Redemption got a halo effect for its second week, building on the series premiere by half a million viewers and two tenths in the demo. I don't see this as long term good news but it's still rare for a show to rise in week two.

Elsewhere, ABC's mini-series flop When We Rise continued to explore new lows, dropping yet another two tenths to a 0.4 It has dropped four tenths from its very weak Monday premiere at 0.8. Will it continue that trend and get a 0.2 for the finale tonight? On FOX, Masterchef Junior was down two tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo while the season finale of My Kitchen Rules was up a tenth in viewers and the demo. It will be replaced by new reality show Kicking & Screaming next week. I doubt My Kitchen Rules will be back but we'll see. On the CW, Supernatural was even while Riverdale was back up a tenth in viewers and the demo. Finally, CBS got a bump for Training Day after series star Bill Paxton's untimely death last weekend. It was up seven tenths in viewers and two tenths in the demo.

WINNER OF THE NIGHT: Chicago Med (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...
