Thursday night was the start of May Sweeps and it was also the NFL Draft. That usually means bad news for The Big Bang Theory on CBS, but that was not the case this year as Big Bang was up a million viewers and a tenth in the demo from its last airing. I thought a series low was a strong possibility so this was a good night for Big Bang. At 8:30pm, The Great Indoors was up a tenth in viewers and even in the demo. At 9pm, Mom built on its lead-in as it was up two tenths in viewers and even in the demo while Life in Pieces was up a tenth in viewers and even in the demo. At 10pm, The Amazing Race had a rough night as it was even in viewers but dropped a tenth in the demo to a weak 0.7. On ABC, Grey's Anatomy was down a tenth in viewers and even in the demo while Scandal was up a tenth in viewers and the demo. The Catch continued to be ignored and was even with last week. ABC has so many low-rated dramas. I'm sure some of them will get renewed but none of their dramas outside of Grey's, Scandal, and Designated Survivor deserve it.

NBC has cancelled Powerless and shifted the new episode of Superstore to 8:30, behind a repeat. It didn't pay off for them as it was down four tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo to tie a series low. I assume the 8:30 decision was made to avoid The Big Bang Theory and help Chicago Med, but at this point in the season, I probably would have left the new episode at 8pm and aired a repeat at 8:30. At 9pm, Chicago Med was down two tenths in viewers and even in the demo while The Blacklist was even with last week's 10pm episode. FOX was weirdly hit the hardest, perhaps because of the Draft. At 8pm, Masterchef Junior was down nine tenths in viewers and two tenths in the demo for a new series low. At 9pm, the season finale of Kicking & Screaming was down two tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo. I really doubt this show will get a second season. Finally on the CW, Supernatural was down two tenths in viewers and even in the demo while Riverdale was even.

WINNER OF THE NIGHT: The Big Bang Theory (CBS)
LOSER OF THE NIGHT: Masterchef Junior (FOX)

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...
