On Wednesday night, American Idol took a hit from the competition as it is now just one of the pack and not towering above the competition. It was down 1.5 million viewers and nine tenths in the demo. It might easily be down in the mid-3s within a month or so. On CBS, Criminal Minds was up two tenths in viewers but down three tenths in the demo for a season low. At 10pm, CSI won the battle of the 10pm dramas though it was down half a million viewers and two tenths in the demo. This is still a good showing as it had a convincing win in the 10pm hour. 

It was a rough night for ABC as everything struggled. At 8pm, The Middle was down four tenths in viewers and two tenths in the demo. At 8:30pm, The Neighbors barely rebounded from last week when it followed a repeat of The Middle as it was only up seven tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo. At 9pm, Modern Family fell a million viewers and half a demo point for its worst performance since November 2010 (a Thanksgiving Eve episode). This show still does well obviously but it's tumbled quite a bit over the course of this season. It will be interesting to see if it can rebound a bit in the spring. At 9:30pm, Suburgatory was up a million viewers and two tenths in the demo from last week when it followed a repeat of Modern Family. Finally at 10pm, Nashville was the loser in the 10pm showdown as it fell two tenths in viewers and the demo for a series low.

Finally on NBC, Whitney was even in viewers but down a tenth in the demo but Guys with Kids was up three tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo. It seems unlikely that either of these shows will get a renewal but you never know depending on the direction NBC goes with multi-cam comedies.  At 9pm, Law & Order: SVU was down 1.2 million viewers and two tenths in the demo as it took a hit from the stacked competition in the hour. Good news came at 10pm for NBC. Though Chicago Fire was down seven tenths in viewers and two tenths in the demo, it held up well against CSI and beat Nashville by two tenths in tthe demo.

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...
