Blindspot got renewed by NBC on Wednesday afternoon and Wednesday night, it got its first 0.8 demo since February. It has been so consistent and that surely played a role in its renewal. So while it probably wouldn't have changed anything, it was ironic that it dropped three tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo. At 9pm, Law & Order: SVU was down a tenth in viewers and up a tenth in the demo while Chicago PD ended the night even in viewers and up a tenth in the demo. On ABC, the just renewed (for 2 seasons!) The Goldbergs was even in viewers and down a tenth in the demo to tie a series low last set on May 6, 2014. At 8:30pm, Speechless was down a tenth in viewers and the demo for a series low. The series low parade continued with Modern Family, which was even in viewers and down a tenth in the demo. The bleeding stopped with the season finale of Black-ish, which was up six tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo. Is this its last new Wednesday airing? We'll know soon! At 10pm, Designated Survivor was up three tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo.

On CBS, Survivor was even in viewers and down a tenth in the demo. The season finale of Criminal Minds followed and was up seven tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo. It's been a disappointing season for Minds, but it ended its season with two episodes that gave the show its best numbers since October. It's already renewed for next season but will this performance help keep it at 9pm? At 10pm, Criminal Minds: Beyond Borders was down a tenth in viewers and the demo. On FOX, Shots Fired was even with last week while Empire rebounded nicely from last week's series low, rising seven tenths in viewers and three tenths in the demo. This was an excellent performance for a show that has been on the decline. Finally on the CW, Arrow was up three tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo for its best showing since March 1 while The 100 was even.

WINNER OF THE NIGHT: Empire (FOX)
LOSER OF THE NIGHT: The Goldbergs (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...
