ABC had a massive night thanks to its Dancing with the Stars fall edition finale. No Ordinary Family started things off and was up slightly from last week's lows. It was up three tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo. Next week, it will get a chance to prove its mettle at the slightly less competitive 9pm slot for three weeks. Dancing with the Stars followed as it crowned Jennifer Grey the winner and it delivered huge results, up a whopping 6.8 million viewers and 1.9 demo points. It also had its best finale numbers in years as this veteran show is showing no signs of fading. Who will the celebrities be for the winter edition?


CBS aired an all-new drama lineup and had pretty good holds against ABC's juggernaut. NCIS was down six tenths in viewers and even in the demo as it did not have to compete with Dancing. NCIS: Los Angeles did though but was only down eight tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo, which is a great showing. The Good Wife did not fare quite as well as it was down 1.7 million viewers but just a tenth in the demo. While NCIS: Los Angeles and The Good Wife did hit season lows, these are pretty good results against much tougher competition.

NBC had its usual lineup and also survived against ABC but was low as usual. The Biggest Loser was down a tenth in viewers and two tenths in the demo, hitting a season low in that category. Without Dancing to compete with next week, it may perk up as it nears its finale. At 10pm, Parenthood was down three tenths in viewers for a season low but actually up a tenth in the demo. It still remains very low though, it will need to show some improvement when it moves to Monday to see a third season.

FOX had its regular lineup for now. Glee was down a troubling 1.3 million viewers and a full demo point, hitting season lows in both categories. There doesn't seem to be a great reason for why this was down as it did not compete with Dancing. Is it starting to fade? Or was this a bad week for the show's young audience? A new Raising Hope was down just two tenths in viewers and the demo. While the viewer total is a season low it displayed better retention out of Glee than usual. A repeat of Hope was actually up three tenths in viewers and two tenths in the demo, which is good news for FOX.

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...
