Tuesday night brought a lineup of special programming to CBS but the classic Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer and the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show were down big year to year even though the numbers were still good. ABC started with a special episode of Shark Tank but it was below its usual Friday numbers which probably means that ABC was smart to leave it exactly where it is for midseason. The comedies were up a bit but still low. Happy Endings was down a million viewers but up two tenths in the demo and Don't Trust the B---- in Apartment 23 was even in viewers and up three tenths in the demo. Finally, Private Practice was up two tenths in viewers and down a tenth in the demo.

On NBC, The Voice was down a tenth in viewers and three tenths in the demo. Go On followed and was up six tenths in viewers but down a tenth in the demo. The good news is that this show has stabilized despite what The Voice does and it beats the competing comedies, but it will be interesting to see what happens when it doesn't have the big lead-in. At 9:30pm, The New Normal was up six tenths in viewers and even in the demo. At 10pm, Parenthood was up half a million viewers and even in the demo despite much tougher competition than usual from CBS.

FOX had a horrible outing with its comedies as every single show was down. At 8pm, Raising Hope was down two tenths in viewers and a big four tenths in the demo for a season low. Ben and Kate was down two tenths in viewers and three tenths in the demo and it's a complete dud with a 1.1 demo. At 9pm, New Girl was the best of the block and even in viewers but down three tenths in the demo. The Mindy Project is perhaps the most disappointing of the bunch. It was down a tenth in viewers and two tenths in the demo and it can barely top Ben and Kate despite a much better lead-in. Yikes, this night is a big problem for FOX.

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...

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...

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...
