ABC was new on Tuesday night starting with No Ordinary Family which was up a decent 1.1 million viewers and three tenths in the demo from its last airing three weeks ago. The viewer total is the best since January 18 and while it might be making an eleventh hour push, its failed is almost sealed especially with an original episode airing this Saturday night. It was followed by a Best in Film special that performed adequately and on par or above recent Tuesday entries V and Detroit 1-8-7. The results edition of Dancing with the Stars and series premiere of Body of Proof will air next Tuesday.

CBS won across the board with its drama lineup. At 8pm, NCIS was up three tenths in viewers and even in the demo from its last airing three weeks ago. However, it's kind of surprising it didn't go up in the ratings with Glee being a repeat. It was followed by NCIS: Los Angeles which was up nine tenths in viewers but also even in the demo. Finally, The Good Wife was up three tenths in viewers but down a tenth in the demo despite very little competition. CBS needs to find a new slot for this critically acclaimed show where the demo performance won't be as glaring.

NBC was new from 8-10pm with The Biggest Loser which was even in viewers but up three tenths in the demo for its best performance since February 8. Loser remains one of NBC's strongest demo draws. A low rated Parenthood repeat closed out the night. FOX started things off with repeats of Glee and Raising Hope. It was followed by a new Traffic Light which bombed big time and was down down nine tenths in viewers and half a demo point for easy series lows. Will FOX really keep this on the air after it lost a ton of Raising Hope's REPEAT audience? This is another sitcom bomb 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...

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...
