THE WEEK AHEAD: February 25-March 3, 2019

Here's a look at Week #23!

ABC
Following the Oscars, ABC has an all new week with the series premiere of Whiskey Cavalier on Wednesday. It will be the same episode that was previewed after the Oscars last night, but will air in its regular timeslot. This week also has the season premiere of American Idol on Sunday night and I have a feeling it will be underwhelming. There are also two season finales for Thursday dramas A Million Little Things and How to Get Away with Murder. Million has already been renewed for next season and while its ratings have been very low this year, I think Murder will get renewed as well.

 MONDAY
8:00 The Bachelor
10:00 The Good Doctor

TUESDAY
8:00 American Housewife
8:30 The Kids Are Alright
9:00 Black-ish
9:30 Splitting Up Together
10:00 The Rookie

WEDNESDAY
8:00 The Goldbergs
8:30 Schooled
9:00 Modern Family
9:30 Single Parents
10:00 Whiskey Cavalier (SERIES PREMIERE)

SUNDAY

8:00 American Idol (Season Premiere)
10:00 Shark Tank

CBS
CBS has a mix of new episodes and repeats. The decision to air three hours of The World's Best this week looks pretty foolish after it posted a terrible 0.6 demo last week.

 MONDAY
8:00 The Neighborhood
8:30 Man with a Plan
9:00 Magnum P.I.
10:00 Bull

TUESDAY
8:00 NCIS

10:00 48 Hours

SUNDAY
7:00 60 Minutes
8:00 God Friended Me
9:00 NCIS: Los Angeles
10:00 Madam Secretary

NBC
NBC has a busy week with the return of The Voice with new coach John Legend on Monday and Tuesday night. Monday will lead into the series premiere of The Enemy Within, which has had a ton of promotion in recent weeks though I don't think it will come close to Manifest's 2.2 demo premiere from the fall. Tuesday has the season premiere of the former summer show World of Dance before it heads to anchor Sunday nights, where it leads into a new season of Good Girls. This week also has the season finale of The Titan Games.

8:00 The Voice (Edition Premiere)
10:00 The Enemy Within (SERIES PREMIERE)

SATURDAY
8:00 Dateline NBC
9:00 Dateline NBC
10:00 Saturday Night Live (Repeat)

SUNDAY
7:00 World of Dance (Repeat)
8:00 World of Dance
10:00 Good Girls (Season Premiere)

FOX
Despite premieres and finales all over the place, the biggest event of the week is likely to be The Masked Singer on Wednesday night, which I think could easily see a 3.0 demo or above, something not often season in 2018-19. FOX also has season finales of Tuesday dramas Lethal Weapon and The Gifted.

MONDAY
8:00 The Masked Singer (Repeat)
9:00 The Passage

8:00 Lethal Weapon (Season Finale)

7:30 Bob's Burgers (Repeat)
8:00 The Simpsons
8:30 Bob's Burgers

The CW is still doing a lot of repeats although there are some new episodes this week, especially from shows that are ending their seasons in the coming weeks.

9:00 Charmed

TV NEWS & THOUGHTS
- CBS has renewed Young Sheldon for two more seasons. The sophomore comedy is likely taking over the 8pm Thursday slot from the show it spun off from, The Big Bang Theory, next season and this is a show of good faith. But we've yet to really see how it will do without the mothership in front of it. That won't be known until the 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...
