It was another iffy night for broadcast TV in the midst of November sweeps. NBC had the second season premiere of Whitney which got a timeslot upgrade when Animal Practice was cancelled. Though it posted better numbers than Animal, it did not do well as it tied its series low from last year's ho-hum ratings. Very few thought it would do very well but it should have been able to at least match the 1.6 its season finale got. The multi-cam lead-in didn't help Guys with Kids much as it was up three tenths in viewers but even in the demo from the last airing. At 9pm, Law & Order: SVU was down three tenths in viewers and even in the demo. Chicago Fire came back to earth in a big way after The Voice lead-in last week. It was down 1.2 million viewers and six tenths in the demo as it looks like The Voice viewers didn't like what they saw.

ABC was down across the board after rising across the board last week. At 8pm, The Middle was down two tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo as it had the smallest week to week drop. At 8:30pm, The Neighbors dropped a tenth in viewers and two tenths in the demo, tying a series low. Considering how the Tuesday comedies are doing though, this show is doing just fine. At 9pm, Modern Family was down half a million viewers and two tenths in the demo while Suburgatory was hit the hardest as it was down half a million viewers and a big half a demo point. At 10pm, Nashville was down two tenths in viewers and the demo, tying a series low on the heels of its full season renewal. 

On CBS, Survivor started off down two tenths in viewers and the demo. Criminal Minds was up a tenth in viewers and the demo. CSI was one of the few shows to rise as it was up seven tenths in viewers and two tenths in the demo. Against the new dramas on ABC and NBC, CSI has emerged as a clear and consistent ratings winner in this hour. FOX aired The X Factor and without competing against The Voice, it was up 1.2 million viewers and three tenths in the demo for its best Wednesday showing since October 10.

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...
