Sunday night brought a long but powerful NFL overrun on CBS. It led to each of the regular shows not starting till 53 minutes into the hour. 60 Minutes was up 2.6 million viewers and 1.4 demo points with the big lead-in. The Amazing Race was up four tenths in viewers but down a tenth in the demo. The Good Wife was up nine tenths in viewers and even in the demo. It seems to be consistent no matter when in the hour it starts. The Mentalist was the hardest hit of course as it didn't start until 10:53pm on the east coast. It was down 2.1 million viewers and half a demo point from when it started at 10pm last week. Over on ABC, America's Funniest Home Videos was up a million viewers and two tenths in the demo but the American Music Awards were down big year-to-year though up from ABC's usual Sunday numbers.

On NBC, a Steelers-Ravens matchup was strong but delivered the lowest numbers for Sunday Night Football since Steelers-Bengals on October 21. FOX didn't have an NFL overrun so numbers were down big from last week especially for the first couple shows. But first at 7:30pm, The Cleveland Show was down seven tenths in viewers and three tenths in the demo from the last time it aired two weeks ago. At 8pm, The Simpsons was down a big 1.8 million viewers and eight tenths in the demo from last week when it had a direct NFL lead-in. Bob's Burgers was down a million viewers and six tenths in the demo. Family Guy was down half a million viewers and a tenth in the demo from last week's 9pm episode while American Dad! was actually up two tenths in viewers and three tenths in the demo from the last time it aired two weeks ago.

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...
