TV NEWS & THOUGHTS
- NBC announced the rest of its midseason plans. Drama The Enemy Within becomes the newest post-Voice show as Enemy will take Manifest's Monday 10pm slot when the new edition of The Voice premieres on February 25. On Tuesdays, The Village will premiere on March 12 at 10pm. It will get to follow This is Us for three weeks before taking the This is Us 9pm slot once the hit drama ends its third season. It's also worth noting that The Voice will have many weeks in the spring where it does not air on Tuesdays as they will continue to air Ellen's Game of Games. World of Dance will get a special preview for its first season inside the regular season. It will air on Tuesday, February 26 before taking over Sundays at 8pm starting March 3, where it will be followed by season two of Good Girls. Surprisingly, it is not the new Abby's taking the Thursdays 8:30pm slot and instead it will be season two of the low rated A.P. Bio starting March 7. There is no date yet for Abby's or drama The Inbetween. Overall, this seems a little messy on Tuesdays and a missed opportunity on Thursdays, but it could have been worse.

 - CBS announced that the upcoming seventh season of Elementary will be the show's final one. The drama was a prime member of the schedule for awhile and even had a post-Super Bowl airing, but it was relegated to summer last season and likely will be again this season.

- NBC has cancelled Marlon and Midnight, Texas after two seasons. Marlon aired in the summer and had a decent run in 2017 but a lower run in 2018. Midnight aired in Summer 2017 and didn't return until this fall, but it has had a low rated Friday night run this fall.

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...
