On Sunday night, ABC had good news for every show except its 10pm offering. At 7pm, America's Funniest Home Videos was up a strong 1.4 million viewers and four tenths in the demo as it may have benefited from Daylight Savings. At 8pm, Once Upon a Time was up three tenths in viewers and a tenths in the demo for its best performances since the season premiere. This is a good sign for the second year show. At 9pm, Revenge was down three tenths in viewers but even in the demo. The wheels came off at 10pm though as 666 Park Avenue was down six tenths in viewers and three tenths in the demo for a series low. ABC needs to do something else quickly in this time period because this show is in Pan Am levels now.

CBS had its NFL overrun schedule with this week which of course meant a big jump for 60 Minutes as it was up 5.1 million viewers and 1.7 demo points with the direct lead-in. At 8:30pm, The Amazing Race was up eight tenths in viewers and two tenths in the demo as it seems to be right in this range whether 60 Minutes has huge or small numbers. At 9:30pm, The Good Wife was up four tenths in viewers and down a tenth in the demo. Despite starting at 10:30pm, The Mentalist actually built from the lead-in and was even in the demo from last week though it was down 1.1 million viewers.  

NBC had a Sunday night game between the Cowboys and Falcons and it delivered the best demo for Sunday Night Football since the September 30 Giants-Eagles matchup. FOX aired its animated lineup for the first time since October 7 and every show was down big from its last airing. The Cleveland Show at 7:30pm actually outperformed both Bob's Burgers and American Dad! in the demo. Perhaps most concerning was the massive demo drop of nine tenths for Family Guy. This lineup has been really suffering and I think it's going to be more ugly after the NFL is over.

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...
