QUICK HITS: My CW Midseason Schedule Suggestion

Here are my midseason CW thoughts!

The CW's schedule doesn't matter as much as the other networks since their linear ratings don't matter as much, but they still seem to try to put together a coherent schedule. With Batwoman and Nancy Drew both getting full seasons, their shelf space is limited.

MONDAYS
(Jan)
8:00 All American
9:00 Black Lightning

(Apr)
8:00 The 100
9:00 In the Dark
The CW Monday lineup is going okay. I would let it air out as is and replace it late in the season with The 100 and In the Dark.

TUESDAYS
8:00 The Flash
9:00 (Jan) Arrow/(Feb) DC's Legends of Tomorrow
Arrow has a short final season likely to end in January. With no obvious midseason show, I would keep DC shows together and put Legends of Tomorrow back here.

WEDNESDAYS
8:00 Riverdale
9:00 Katy Keene
Nancy Drew is already not working and Katy Keene is a Riverdale spinoff. Even with Riverdale a shell of what it once was, this makes the most sense.

THURSDAYS
(Jan)
8:00 Supernatural
9:00 Legacies

(Mar)
8:00 Roswell, New Mexico
9:00 Nancy Drew
Superntural also has a shorter final season so once it ends its legendary run, I would revamp Thursdays with Roswell, New Mexico and a transplanted Nancy Drew.

FRIDAYS
8:00 Charmed
9:00 Dynasty
Fridays are what they are. Charmed is doing okay. They can be left alone.

SUNDAYS
8:00 Batwoman
9:00 Supergirl
Sundays are doing decently as well, particularly Batwoman, which is one of the stronger CW shows (it's all relative of course). I'd leave this alone.

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...
