ABC was down a bit on the first Monday of November Sweeps. The 200th episode of Dancing with the Stars was down half a million viewers and three tenths in the demo. It is unusual for it to dip like this as it nears the finale but there was the World Series and an intriguing Monday Night Football matchup on ESPN to compete with. Castle followed and was even in viewers but down two tenths in the demo from last week's season high. Still a solid night as usual for ABC Mondays.

CBS had a solid night despite tougher FOX competition. How I Met Your Mother was up nicely from last week - over half a million viewers and half a demo point. Rules of Engagement followed and hit season highs in both viewers and the demo. It was up half a million viewers and four tenths in the demo. After struggling early on, this show seems to have found its footing and is showing much better retention. Despite Charlie Sheen's troubles, Two and a Half Men was up three tenths in the demo though it was down a bit in total viewers. It remains the standout of CBS's night. Mike & Molly was the only show to dip though it was just down a tenth in viewers and the demo. Still, the retention of Men remains only ok. Finally, Hawaii Five-0 finally reversed course and was up seven tenths in viewers and two tenths in the demo. This is the first time it has built on the demo from the previous week so that has to be a sigh of relief for CBS.

NBC had a lackluster evening even as it preempted The Event and Chase. Chuck started off the night and posted its best numbers since the season premiere though that is not saying much. It was up a tenth each in viewers and the demo. The special The Women of SNL followed and was disappointing as it lost a tenth of Chuck's viewers and gained just a tenth in the demo. These numbers are not as good as the SNL in the 2000s special that aired last spring. The only good news was it pulled better numbers than usual 10pm occupant Chase. Finally on FOX, the World Series concluded with numbers constant with the whole series - up from FOX's usual programming but way down from last year's Yankees-Phillies matchup.

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...

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...
