After a week off due to the CMA Awards, nearly all of ABC's Wednesday night shows were down but still solid. The only exception was The Middle which was just down two tenths in viewers and even in the demo. At 8:30pm, Suburgatory slid three tenths in viewers and two tenths in the demo for a series low. This is the first time it hasn't built from The Middle in the demo. This is still a very strong companion to The Middle but it's moving in the wrong direction right now. At 9pm, Modern Family was down half a million viewers and a tenth in the demo, hitting a season low in the demo (you know you're a hit when a 5.6 is a season low). At 9:30pm, Happy Endings was down seven tenths in viewers and two tenths in the demo. At 10pm, Revenge slipped more than most as it was down six tenths in viewers and four tenths in the demo. This show would be the only hit hardest by weeks off given its serialized nature. How will it fare next week on Thanksgiving Eve?

CBS on the other hand was up across the board without the CMA Awards to compete with. At 8pm, the just-renewed Survivor was up nine tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo. At 9pm, Criminal Minds was up a nice 1.3 million viewers and three tenths in the demo. This show is quietly one of the top demo performers for dramas. At 10pm, CSI was up four tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo. Over on FOX, The X-Factor was up a million viewers and a tenth in the demo from last week.

Finally on NBC, Up All Night started things off up a tenth in viewers and the demo. This show should be able to survive here until it moves to 9:30pm Thursday in January, which will certainly help its demo rating. At 9pm, Harry's Law was up a tenth in viewers but down two tenths in the demo. This show is getting a 1.1 demo which is just way way too low but does NBC think Rock Center will do better when it will likely do the same in the demo with much less viewers. At 10pm, Law & Order: SVU was up six tenths in viewers but even in the demo, tying its series low from last week.

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...
