It was another DOA midseason premiere on Friday night and CBS' new reality show The Job flopped in its premiere with a pitiful 0.9 demo that tied Do No Harm's historically bad premiere number. It was also a full demo point below Undercover Boss last week. It seems unlikely that CBS will stick with this show for long as they have Boss on the bench. At 9pm, CSI: NY was down eight tenths in viewers but up a tenth in the demo in a two part crossover episode with CSI. At 10pm, Blue Bloods was down three tenths in viewers but even in the demo.  

FOX also had a rough start for Touch in its second season premiere. Without a lead-in of American Idol, it plummeted from its average last season which was expected. This show didn't even do that well behind Idol and it would be a miracle if it saw a third season. NBC had a surprisingly decent night from its newsmagazines as Dateline did well from 8-10pm and the new timeslot for Rock Center gave it better numbers than it was getting on Thursday.  

Finally on ABC, Last Man Standing benefited from less competition in the hour on CBS as it was up four tenths in viewers and two tenths in the demo. It swings up and down but I think it'll get a third season easily. At 8:30pm, Malibu Country was up a tenth in viewers and the demo but the gap seems to be widening between Last Man and this show. At 9pm, Shark Tank was again the top performer of the night as it was down six tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo. Finally at 10pm, 20/20 was down a tenth in viewers and two tenths in the demo and only managed to tie Rock Center in the 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...
