For my FOX suggestion, click here

MONDAYS
8:00 UNTITLED ILENE CHAIKIN/MELISSA SCRIVER LOVE
9:00 The Resident
I think the new Katie Holmes led drama seems like the type of show FOX might want to launch on Mondays at 8pm with a lot of football promotion the day before. I went back and forth on what the 9pm entry might be - it could be 9-1-1 or The Gifted, but I think they'll give The Resident a shot to stay in its current slot.

TUESDAYS
8:00 The Orville
9:00 THE PASSAGE
I think FOX might ditch the comedy block, at least for now, on Tuesdays and turn it into its genre night with Thursdays now devoted to football. So I think a The Orville/The Passage pairing could happen here.

WEDNESDAYS
8:00 Empire
9:00 Star
Despite suggestions to the contrary, I expect FOX will keep its Wednesday lineup the same and still plan to have 9-1-1 as a winter replacement here along with a newbie.

THURSDAYS
8:00 Thursday Night Football
As announced.

FRIDAYS
8:00 Hell's Kitchen
9:00 Gotham
It sounds like Gotham is going to get renewed. If it does, I think it will get benched to Fridays along with Hell's Kitchen. If Gotham gets cancelled and Lucifer gets renewed, I think Lucifer goes here.

SATURDAYS
8:00 College Football

SUNDAYS
7:00 NFL Overrun/The OT/Animated Encores/Bob's Burgers
8:00 The Simpsons
8:30 REL
9:00 Family Guy
9:30 Brooklyn Nine-Nine
I think FOX will try another new comedy after The Simpsons and I doubt the rumored Last Man Standing revival will be ready to go for the fall so I think comedy Rel is a possibility. I think FOX will determine that 9:30pm should go to some low priority veteran - maybe LA to Vegas, but I'm predicting Brooklyn Nine-Nine.

MIDSEASON: DAN THE WEATHERMAN, LAST MAN STANDING, UNTITLED DAVID ELLIOT/DANNY STRONG, UNTITLED ERIN FOSTER, 9-1-1, Cosmos, The Gifted, The Four, LA to Vegas, Lethal Weapon, Masterchef Junior

CANCELLED/ENDED: The Exorcist, Ghosted, Gotham, The Last Man on Earth, Lucifer, The Mick, New Girl, Showtime at the Apollo, The X-Files

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...
