ABC had a solid Tuesday night but the 8pm hour continues to be a problem as Jamie Oliver's Food Revolution dropped seven tenths in viewers and a rough four tenths in the demo from its season premiere last week. This show just won't cut it on a night other than Friday and ABC is pulling it for a week next week for a Dancing with the Stars recap show, which is never a good sign. At 9pm, the results edition of Dancing with the Stars was up three tenths in viewers and down a tenth in the demo. At 10pm, Body of Proof has definitely stabilized as it was up three tenths in viewers and down just a tenth in the demo. A renewal seems a sure bet at this point which is not good news for the other freshman dramas.


CBS was in repeats on Tuesday night but still delivered solid numbers. A special repeat of NCIS: Los Angeles at 10pm delivered a better demo number than a first run episode of The Good Wife last week. NBC had mixed results. The Biggest Loser started things off and was down eight tenths in viewers and four tenths in the demo for season lows. This should be building as the finale nears but it seems to be going in the wrong direction. At 10pm though, the season finale of Parenthood was up 1.1 million viewers and four tenths in the demo, delivering its best numbers since the second episode of the season last September. This happened despite a weaker lead-in and probably all but assures a third season for this critically acclaimed drama.

FOX was all new for the first time in several weeks. At 8pm, Glee returned to season lows as it was down 1.4 million viewers and four tenths in the demo from its last new airing. This isn't too surprising given the troubles 8pm shows have had lately and the fact that it had been in repeats for a month. Still, this show got over 13 million viewers and a 5.9 in the demo earlier this season so it may have peaked at this point. At 9pm, Raising Hope was down four tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo from its last new airing, hitting series lows but posting better retention this week. At 9:30pm, Traffic Light was up nine tenths in viewers and four tenths in the demo from last week, when it followed a repeat. It's still a dead show walking at this point.

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...
