ABC rebounded on Sunday night from last week's low numbers as there was no longer Halloween and the World Series to compete with. America's Funniest Home Videos was up almost two million viewers and two tenths in the demo. Extreme Makeover: Home Edition made an even better jump as it was up 2.7 million viewers and .7 in the demo, posting its best total viewership numbers of the season. Desperate Housewives also rebounded as it was up 1.6 million viewers and over half a point in the demo. Finally, Brothers & Sisters was also up. It did not have as big a gain but was up over half a million viewers and two tenths in the demo. All in all, a good rebound for ABC.


CBS was forced to adjust its lineup when football ran over an hour late. They ended up preempting regular 10pm occupant CSI: Miami and will air that scheduled episode next week. But it was good news as football was absolutely dominating in the first hour and that always positively impacts 60 Minutes which was up a ridiculous 4.4 million viewers and nearly two full demo points. This show is still powerful when it has a football lead-in. The Amazing Race followed and also benefited as it was up nearly two million viewers and seven tenths in the demo from last week's 8pm airing. Undercover Boss however seems to be fading - part of it can be blamed on the late start, but it just isn't the power it was last spring. It was up three tenths in viewers but down a tenth in the demo, dipping below a 3 for the first time. Is the novelty quickly wearing off?

NBC continued to shine with football. The preshow and pregame delivered solid numbers and the game, despite being a blow out, was up over a million viewers and a tenth in the demo from last week's much closer game. There is no doubt that these numbers would have been through the roof if Dallas was competitive in the game or this season. The NFL is continuing to just dominate the fall ratings wherever it airs. 

Finally FOX aired a Halloween lineup a week late as the cartoons were new for the first time since October 10. Two reruns of The Simpsons were low as was expected. But the new annual Treehouse of Horror episode at 8pm was up 1.3 million viewers and seven tenths in the demo from the last original airing. The Cleveland Show followed and was up over a million viewers and four tenths in the demo from the last new episode. Family Guy was also up a million viewers and four tenths in the demo while American Dad! was the weak link of the night but still up nearly a million viewers and four tenths in the demo. The Halloween boost continues even after Halloween!

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...
