On Valentine's Day, numbers were down just like on Monday night. The news was not good at all for ABC. At 8pm, Last Man Standing was down two tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo from last week's 8pm episode. The season premiere of Cougar Town followed to very unimpressive ratings. It hit a series low and was below the premieres of bombs Man Up and Work It. I wouldn't put it past ABC to give this show a fourth season so it can get enough syndication episodes, but it certainly doesn't deserve it. At 9pm, week two of The River crashed 2.6 million viewers and seven tenths in the demo from its series premiere last week. This show will probably run its eight episodes and then we won't see it again because it's unlikely to climb back up. Finally the bad news continued at 10pm where Body of Proof was down 1.6 million viewers and four tenths in the demo for a series low. I'd be surprised to see this show get a third season and ABC has a lot of work to do with its Tuesday lineup.

Over on CBS, NCIS was down 1.4 million viewers and three tenths in the demo from last week's 200th episode. The other two dramas were one of the few shows up from last week, leave it to CBS. NCIS: Los Angeles was down a tenth in viewers but up the same in the demo. Finally at 10pm, Unforgettable was down nine tenths in viewers but up a tenth in the demo. This show was squeaking out demo wins in the fall and is easily winning now, but that's more a reflection of the competition than this drama which has been steady but not spectacular all year. 

Over on NBC, The Biggest Loser was down half a million viewers and two tenths in the demo while Parenthood was down a tenth in viewers for a series low but even in the demo. This show isn't coming anywhere close to the 2 demo it's been getting for most of the last year and a half and it has two weeks to go to earn a renewal. Over on FOX, Glee was down eight tenths in viewers and a big half a demo point for a season low while New Girl was down three tenths in viewers and four tenths in the demo for a series low. Raising Hope was up a tenth in viewers and even in the demo showing that it has a different audience than New Girl.

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...
