On Tuesday night, just like Thursday night, another CBS veteran obliterated the competition. NCIS in its tenth season was up 1.8 million viewers and four tenths in the demo. The viewer total is the best in nearly two years. Two scripted shows on CBS are over 20 million viewers and soaring above the competition. At 9pm, NCIS: Los Angeles was down three tenths in viewers and the demo, showing much worse retention this week. Finally at 10pm, Vegas was up four tenths in viewers and even in the demo. The problem is that it was 2.3 demo points behind NCIS and aired just an hour later.

Over on FOX, every single show in the low rated comedy block has now gone below a 2.0. At 8pm, Raising Hope was down a tenth in viewers and the demo while Ben and Kate was down two tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo, tying a series low. At 9pm, New Girl was down a tenth in viewers and two tenths in the demo for a series low. This show has really tumbled this year though it still skews young. I do think it suffers from time shifted viewing more than most shows because such a huge percentage of its audience is certainly young adults. At 9:30pm, The Mindy Project was down a tenth in viewers and even in the demo. 

On NBC, two episodes of Betty White's Off Their Rockers were slightly down their respective episodes last week. At 9pm, Go On was up two tenths in viewers and the demo as it rebounded a little bit from last week's horrible tumble. At 9:30pm, The New Normal was up a tenth in viewers and the demo. Lastly, Parenthood was down three tenths in viewers ad even in the demo ahead of next week's season finale. Finally on ABC, Happy Endings was down six tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo while Don't Trust the B---- in Apartment 23 was down four tenths in viewers and even in the demo. At 10pm, the next-to-last episode of Private Practice was up a tenth in viewers and the demo. Will it be able to jump more for the series finale next week?

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...
