THE WEEK AHEAD: May 4-10, 2020

Here's a look at this week on TV!

ABC
ABC has several season finales this week and also has the second volume of the Disney Family Singalong airing on Mother's Day. The first edition, which aired on a Thursday a couple weeks ago, was a huge hit in the ratings. Can this one do the same? I'm sure it won't be quite as high.

 MONDAY
8:00 The Bachelor: Listen to Your Heart
10:00 The Baker and the Beauty

TUESDAY
8:00 The Conners (Season Finale)
8:30 Bless This Mess (Season Finale)
9:00 Mixed-ish (Season Finale)

SUNDAY
7:00 The Disney Family Singalong Volume II (Special)
8:00 American Idol
10:00 The Rookie (Season Finale)

 CBS
CBS has a bunch of season finales this week, most of them due to their filming being cut short. Most notable is a remote episode of All Rise that has been developed specifically for the situation we're all in. Given All Rise's status as a bubble show, it could be a series finale.

 MONDAY
8:00 The Neighborhood
8:30 The Neighborhood (Season Finale)
9:00 All Rise (Season Finale)
10:00 Bull (Season Finale)

TUESDAY
8:00 NCIS (Repeat)

SATURDAY
8:00 TBA

SUNDAY
7:00 Little Big Shots
8:00 The Wall
9:00 Zoey's Extraordinary Playlist (Repeat)
10:00 Good Girls (Repeat)

 FOX
FOX also has a mix of new episodes and repeats. They were fortunate that The Masked Singer had wrapped production before the shutdown. I'm not sure how that show could have done remote performances the way The Voice and American Idol have.

 MONDAY
8:00 9-1-1 (Season Finale)
9:00 9-1-1: Lone Star (Repeat)

TUESDAY
8:00 The Masked Singer (Repeat)

8:00 The Simpsons
8:30 Duncanville
9:00 Bob's Burgers
9:30 Family Guy

 CW
The CW is also a mix of new episodes and repeats. Thursday has the season finale of Katy Keene, the only in-season show not yet renewed by the CW (aside from those with planned final seasons). It has terrible ratings but that hasn't stopped the CW from renewing other shows.

 MONDAY
8:00 Whose Line is it Anyway?
8:30 Whose Line is it Anyway? (Repeat)
9:00 Roswell, New Mexico

TUESDAY
8:00 The Flash
9:00 DC's Legends of Tomorrow

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...
