ABC saw mixed results on a Tuesday that was back to normal following election night. New drama No Ordinary Family showed some needed signs of life as it was up half a million viewers and two tenths in the demo from the last episode two weeks ago. This marks the first time it has gone up in the demo which has to have ABC encouraged. Dancing with the Stars results followed and was up a tenth in viewers and three tenths in the demo from last week's episode, which aired from 8-9:30. But the news was not so good for Detroit 1-8-7 which fell almost a million viewers and two tenths in the demo from the last episode two weeks ago. The demo ties a season low and reverses a slow upward trend that it was on.

CBS was down a bit across the board from the last original episodes which aired two weeks ago. NCIS didn't suffer much though and was down just three tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo. It's total viewership numbers remain extremely impressive for a scripted series. NCIS: Los Angeles followed and down four tenths in viewers and also a tenth in the demo for season lows in both categories. Wonder why that happened now? The Good Wife followed and was down three tenths in viewers and two tenths in the demo, hitting a season low in that category. It still won the time period but not as convincingly as it has been. CBS will be concerned if it falls below a 2 in the demo.

NBC had some minor improvements. The Biggest Loser was up two tenths in viewers and even in the demo from last week's one hour edition. It remains a disappointment. Parenthood followed and was up a tenth in viewers and the demo from the last episode two weeks ago. The demo is the best number it has been in awhile and for the first time this season, it was within striking distance of The Good Wife for the demo win. The viewership numbers are low but Parenthood was expected to compete for the demo and it appears it finally is.

FOX aired a new regular lineup in full for the first time since October 12 to mixed results. Glee remained a powerhouse but was down almost a million viewers and three tenths in the demo from the last new episode two weeks ago. The viewership number is a season low and the demo number ties a season low. Still, it is a standout for FOX. New comedy Raising Hope followed and was down two tenths in viewers and even in the demo from the last original two weeks ago (it was up from the original that aired at 9:30 the same night). Not counting the special 9:30 episode, the viewership totals was a series low but the demo has held steady for three episodes straight. Running Wilde was barely on the map as it was down a tenth in viewers but up two tenths in the demo from the last original episode, which aired three weeks ago. We should be hearing an announcement cancelling this show anytime now.

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...
