On a full Monday, CBS was all new for the first time in three weeks and saw pretty steady numbers as their comedies always slip a bit at this time of year. At 8pm, How I Met Your Mother was down two tenths in viewers and even in the demo while 2 Broke Girls was down six tenths in viewers but also even in the demo. At 9pm, Two and a Half Men was down the most - 1.1 million viewers and two tenths in the demo but Mike & Molly was actually up a tenth in the demo (and down a tenth in viewers), posting better retention than usual. At 10pm, Hawaii Five-0 was up a million viewers and a tenth in the demo. While these numbers aren't spectacular compared to the fall, having all four comedies over a 3 in the demo at this time of year is not bad at all. Over on ABC, Dancing with the Stars was down half a million viewers but up a tenth in the demo.

Over on NBC, both their shows continued to inch downward a bit. They are only slipping a little bit each week but they have now dropped five consecutive weeks. At 8pm, The Voice was down three tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo while Smash was down a tenth in viewers and the demo at 10pm. Over on FOX, Bones was down eight tenths in viewers and three tenths in the demo but still did decent for an 8pm drama at this time of year. At 9pm, House was down seven tenths in viewers and a rough four tenths in the demo for another series low. Wow, this show is limping towards the finish line in a big way.

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...
