THE WEEK AHEAD: February 19-25, 2018

Here's a look at Week #22! It's another week of the Winter Olympics with very little on the other networks except some finales of some winter shows including The Amazing Race, Big Brother: Celebrity Edition, and The Bachelor: Winter Games. It's also the season finale for Shark Tank next Sunday against the Closing Ceremony. NBC is airing another preview episode of A.P. Bio during the Closing Ceremony, but it didn't get much traction on a Thursday preview earlier this month.

TV NEWS & THOUGHTS
- The CW announced that it will expand its programming to Sundays for the first time since the 2008-09 season, when they dropped to five nights a week. They will now broadcast Sunday-Friday from 8-10pm. This comes after 9 pilots were ordered by the CW and they have been renewing more shows recently. I wouldn't be surprised if something like the planned and hyped Charmed reboot is what they target for Sundays.

- After sitting on it for several months, NBC has renewed summer drama Midnight, Texas for a second season. I'd imagine they are planning it for summer again.

- FOX has renewed So You Think You Can Dance for a 15th season. The long running reality competition was on the bubble and has aired in every imaginable slot and time of year, but will be back again this summer.

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...
