The broadcast networks continued to have a tough week as most shows were down again. ABC started things off with another repeat of Grey's Anatomy (for the last week) which hit a low for the 8:00 repeat numbers. A new Grey's Anatomy followed and was down nearly a million viewers and three tenths in the demo. This is not the force it once was and is done significantly even from last fall. Private Practice followed and was down heavily from last week's special episode - 2 million viewers and a full demo point. This is much closer to its usual performance as last week was an aberration. 


CBS also had drops across the board. The Big Bang Theory was down almost a million viewers and half a demo point but was still a powerful player. New sitcom $#*! My Dad Says had a troubling drop as it was down over a million viewers and half a demo point from last week, hitting a series low in viewers and tying a series low in the demo. After some encouraging weeks, this sitcom seems headed in the wrong direction again. CSI followed and was down a million viewers and half a demo point while The Mentalist had the best hold as it was down .6 in the demo and two tenths in the demo. What is happening to broadcast TV this week?

NBC did not fair quite as badly though there were still mostly drops across the board. Community was down a tenth in viewers but up a tenth in the demo. It still is a weak lead-off for the night. 30 Rock was down two tenths in viewers but even in the demo while The Office was down half a million viewers and two tenths in the demo. Finally new sitcom Outsourced was down two tenths in viewers and just a tenth in the demo. It loses a ton of The Office's audience but it seems to have steadied. Finally, The Apprentice was even in both viewers and the demo as the finale nears. This was a low lineup as usual but did not see the bleeding that NBC saw on Monday and Wednesday this week.

Finally FOX saw pretty steady results. Bones was down a tenth in viewers but up a tenth in the demo while Fringe was even in viewers but down a tenth in the demo for a season low. FOX has a lot of holes in its schedule but will they really keep airing Fringe here? It has bled a big lead-in for a long time now and it seems likely that this will be its final season.

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...
