ABC had a typically quiet Friday evening. Supernanny led things off at 8pm and was up half a million viewers but even in the demo from last week's season premiere. Primetime: What Would You Do? followed and was up over half a million viewers and a tenth in the demo. It has grown each week since its season premiere and had the night's highest demo (no show got a 2 or more). 20/20 followed and was even in viewers and the demo from last week.

CBS remained the overall viewers champ but the demos leave a lot to be desired. Medium started things off and was down a tenth in viewers and the demo, justifying its shortened season. CSI: NY followed and was down over half a million viewers and a troubling three tenths in the demo, though still getting 10 million viewers on a Friday is acceptable enough. New drama Blue Bloods followed and was up three tenths in viewers but down two tenths in the demo, hitting a series low. This drama is getting older-skewing by the week.

NBC continued to languish with the huge flop School Pride which was even in viewers and the demo. There are two installments left for NBC to suffer through. Dateline NBC followed and was even in viewers but up a tenth in the demo. The demo numbers are the best since it switched to 9-11pm from 8-10pm. Finally FOX had its usual lineup. A House repeat was down a tenth in viewers and even in the demo from last week while The Good Guys was down three tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo. The Good Guys wraps its first (and likely only) season on December 10.

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...
