On Monday night, NBC had mixed results. The good news came at 8pm where the first Top 12 performance show of The Voice was down just three tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo. Last year, The Voice had a long steady drop over the course of the season but this year, it is holding much better. The demo is actually the exact same as premiere week. The not as good news came at 10pm where Revolution was down two tenths in viewers and the demo for another series low. After staying remarkably high for the first part of fall, Revolution is showing some troubling signs as it has dropped significantly in recent weeks. NBC has only a couple more weeks of this before it goes on a long hiatus and maybe that's actually a good thing if this is the direction it is headed.

On CBS, How I Met Your Mother was up eight tenths in viewers and two tenths in the demo, rebounding some from its troubling drop last week. The worst performance came from Partners which dropped two tenths in viewers and three tenths in the demo for a series low even with the lead-in up. After a couple weeks of steady or upward ratings, this showing is a reminder that Partners is not here to stay. At 9pm, 2 Broke Girls was down a tenth in viewers and even in the demo. The best news probably came from Mike & Molly which was up four tenths in viewers and two tenths in the demo, showing great retention and actually out-gaining 2 Broke Girls in total viewers. That may be more of a problem for Girls than a great thing for Mike & Molly but it's still worth noting. At 10pm, Hawaii Five-0 was up half a million viewers and a tenth in the demo.

ABC's lineup was very steady week-to-week as Dancing with the Stars was up three tenths in viewers and even in the demo while Castle was up a tenth in viewers and even in the demo, landing it in third in the latter category yet again. On FOX, Bones was down three tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo, tying a series low in the demo. The Mob Doctor was down four tenths in viewers and two tenths in the demo for a series low. Remind me why this is still on?

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...
