9:00 New Girl
Viewers: 7.0 million, 18-49 demo: 3.4
9:30 Raising Hope
Viewers: 5.0 million, 18-49 demo: 2.3

On Tuesday night, FOX's comedy lineup returned pretty strong in their first new airings since December 13. At 8pm, Glee was up four tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo. This show doesn't seem to be ebbing as quickly at this point, it will be interesting to see how it holds up over the spring. At 9pm, New Girl was up two tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo. This show skews so young. Finally, Raising Hope was dead even in viewers and the demo despite the other shows being up. This is another show that will be interesting to monitor though I think FOX will keep it.

Over on ABC, Last Man Standing started off the night up a strong million viewers and half a demo point from last week's lows. This was a great rebound for a show that still hasn't found a companion. A repeat at 8:30pm did way better than Work It last week. Cougar Town will get its chance in this slot starting on Valentine's Day. At 9pm, Celebrity Wife Swap was up six tenths in viewers and even in the demo. With these decent numbers, ABC will likely use it as filler again down the road. At 10pm, Body of Proof  was up a million viewers but even in the demo. It really should have been up more with Parenthood faltering and Unforgettable in repeats. I don't see this show getting a third season. Over on NBC, The Biggest Loser started off the night even in viewers and down a tenth in the demo. Parenthood was up three tenths in viewers but even in the demo. Though it did win the hour in the demo, it was with a weak 1.7. It will be interesting to see what NBC does here.

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...
