It was a rough Tuesday night for NBC. At 8pm, The Voice was down eight tenths in viewers and two tenths in the demo to tie a series low set last year this same week. Then Great News completely tumbled in its second week with each episode dropping four tenths in the demo from last week. This was a show that seemed like it might make things interesting in the renewal discussion last week but now it looks like it's knocked itself out of the conversation as it has already dipped lower than any Tuesday airing of Trial & Error. At 10pm, Chicago Fire doubled its lead-in in the demo but was still down eight tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo for a series low. On CBS, NCIS was down four tenths in viewers but up two tenths in the demo for a nice rebound from its series low two weeks ago. Bull was up half a million viewers and a tenth in the demo. Despite the two lead-ins being up, NCIS: New Orleans tumbled 1.5 million viewers and a tenth in the demo.

On ABC, The Middle was down two tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo for a series low. American Housewife was down a tenth in viewers and even in the demo. This is the first time it has tied its lead-in since Valentine's Day. At 9pm, Fresh Off the Boat was down four tenths in viewers and even in the demo. Despite having new lead-ins, Imaginary Mary was down three tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo. Like Great News, this probably seals its fate. At 10pm, Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. was even. It was series lows across the board for FOX starting with Brooklyn Nine-Nine falling two tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo. The season finale of The Mick was down four tenths in viewers and two tenths in the demo to go out on a bad note. Due to its production schedule, it will not return until midseason. At 9pm, Prison Break was down four tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo. Finally on the CW, The Flash was even. It tied or beat nine of the fifteen shows on the big four broadcast networks. iZombie was down a tenth in viewers and even in the demo at 9pm.

WINNER OF THE NIGHT: NCIS (CBS)
LOSER OF THE NIGHT: Great News (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...
