ABC replaced the cancelled My Generation with a Grey's Anatomy repeat that was up just slightly in the ratings from Generation, but it's a repeat so that's ok. The new Grey's Anatomy was up in total viewers and even in the demo from last week while Private Practice was even in viewers and up a hair in the demo. Grey's also managed to beat CSI in total viewers which is a good sign for ABC. 

CBS had another strong night but there are some red flags particularly with the 8:30 and 9:00 slots. The Big Bang Theory dipped a bit more this week but remained dominant in the time period. $#*! My Dad Says slipped just a bit from last week and isn't holding a great amount of Big Bang's audience, but it also won the demo. CSI lost nearly another million viewers and was a distant third in the demo. It is clearly showing its age. The Mentalist was dominant at 10pm, winning viewers easily and narrowly winning the demo.

NBC had a typically low night. Community was barely on the map with just over 4 million viewers, even with a Grey's Anatomy rerun although it did beat that in the demo. 30 Rock perked up a bit at 8:30 but was down nearly a million viewers and half a point in the demo from last week. The Office slipped a bit from last week but managed to stay at just about 7 million viewers and was easily the demo star of the night, finishing second to ABC. Outsourced continued to erode viewers losing over 10% in both viewers and the demo as well as losing a full demo point from The Office. It's not likely to stay in this slot much longer if that keeps up. The Apprentice was barely on the radar at 10pm.
 
FOX had its usual Thursday fare to similar results. Bones was down a bit in viewers but up in the demo, easily taking second in both categories. Fringe continued to lose a lot of Bones' audience but was even in viewers and up a bit in the demo. It also was even in viewers with NBC's Outsourced. It's not FOX's biggest problem right now.

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...
