On Thursday night, it was a pretty down for most shows except for TGIT. On CBS, The Big Bang Theory started things out down three tenths in viewers and two tenths in the demo for a new series low (by two tenths). At 8:30pm, The Great Indoors was down two tenths in viewers and even in the demo. It had better retention this week and was up big from its one-off Monday airing earlier in the week. At 9pm, Mom was down half a million viewers and two tenths in the demo to tie a series low. Life in Pieces was down half a million viewers and two tenths in the demo. Then at 10pm, The Amazing Race had an earlier than planned premiere as it replaced Training Day with its first return to the 10pm hour in years. It hit a series low in viewers and tied one in the demo but was an improvement on recent Training Day numbers. On ABC, all three dramas were up. Grey's Anatomy started things off down two tenths in viewers and up a tenth in the demo. At 9pm, Scandal was up 1.2 million viewers and two tenths in the demo for its best demo performance since February 16 and best viewer total since the season premiere. At 10pm, The Catch was even in viewers and up a tenth in the demo.

It was a pretty rough start to NBC's night after a repeat of Superstore. After being pulled at the last minute for Trial & Error repeats the last two weeks, Powerless was finally back and down six tenths in viewers and two tenths in the demo to a series low. It's obvious this is getting cancelled but I'm not even sure NBC will let it air again in this slot especially considering what happened to Chicago Med at 9pm. Med was down 1.4 million viewers and a really rough half a demo point to a new series low. This is also the first time ever a Chicago show has gone below a 1.0 demo. Med has a been on a wild demo run its last several episodes going 1.2, 1.7, 1.1, 1.4, and finally 0.9. Despite the troubles earlier in the night, The Blacklist: Redemption was even in viewers and up a tenth in the demo for its best performance since March 2. On FOX, Masterchef Junior was down two tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo while Kicking & Screaming was down three tenths in viewers and even in the demo. Finally the CW Thursday lineup was back for the first time since March 9. Supernatural was up two tenths in viewers and even in the demo while Riverdale was even with its last airing.

WINNER OF THE NIGHT: Scandal (ABC)
LOSER OF THE NIGHT: Powerless (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...
