On Sunday night, CBS was all new starting with 60 Minutes which was up a strong 3.3 million viewers but even in the demo. These numbers are probably a good picture of where the veteran newsmagazine will be during the spring as it won't have the football fluctuations. At 8pm, Undercover Boss rebounded in a big way without the NFC Championship Game against it. It was up 3.9 million viewers and seven tenths in the demo for a season high in total viewers. Would CBS reconsider this show's move to Friday? It seems rejuvenated after slipping last season. At 9pm, The Good Wife was up 1.6 million viewers and two tenths in the demo from its last new airing and CSI: Miami closed out the night up a tenth in viewers but down three tenths in the demo from its last new airing three weeks ago.

ABC was all new with its regular lineup from 7-9pm. Without a Championship Game against it, America's Funniest Home Videos was up a big 2.2 million viewers and eight tenths in the demo for a season high in the demo. Once Upon a Time followed and was up a strong 1.6 million viewers and three tenths in the demo as it is showing no signs of slowing down. A Hallmark Hall of Fame movie did very little yet again. Why did ABC pick up this franchise? NBC aired the Pro Bowl which was down from last year but next week, they could set ratings records with a highly anticipated Super Bowl.

FOX was all new from 7:30-10pm with its animated lineup but it was down in extreme ways from its football-powered airings two weeks ago. It's not even worth writing the huge drops for each show but The Cleveland Show was incredibly low at 7:30pm and Napoleon Dynamite didn't hold up very well as it's already in Allen Gregory territory. Family Guy was the easy high point of the night but if this is a sign of things to come in the spring for this lineup, that's not good.

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...
