Tuesday night marked the last scripted series premiere before Upfronts and well it may not have lived up to its title, it wasn't horrible news for NBC. The new comedy Great News was well above recent Trial & Error episodes and even its premiere was only two tenths behind the premiere for Trial (which followed a 3.4 demo for the This is Us season finale). The 9:30pm episode dropped to a 1.0 demo, which equals the opening night demo for episode two of Trial. All in all, it might have put itself in consideration for Upfronts but we'll see how next week goes. At 10pm, Chicago Fire was up six tenths in viewers and even in the demo. CBS had a premiere of its own but the filler 48 Hours: NCIS, which followed repeats, skewed old and was mostly ignored.

On ABC, Imaginary Mary had to follow repeats and it was down three tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo while Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. was down two tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo. On FOX, Brooklyn Nine-Nine was even in viewers and the demo for a third straight week. At 8:30pm, The Mick had a positive performance, rising two tenths from its lead-in. It was up a tenth in viewers and the demo from its last new episode. Prison Break finally stabilized at 9pm, rising four tenths in viewers and staying even in the demo. Finally on the CW, The Flash was new for the first time in a month and was up three tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo while iZombie was up two tenths in viewers and even in the demo.

WINNER OF THE NIGHT: Great News (NBC)
LOSER OF THE NIGHT: 48 Hours: NCIS (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...
