On Sunday night, all the networks were mostly new. On ABC, America's Funniest Home Videos was down three tenths in viewers and four tenths in the demo. This show could definitely be a victim of Daylight Savings. At 8pm, Once Upon a Time was up two tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo but it's still a shell of what it was last season or earlier this season. The best news for ABC came from Revenge which rebounded again as it was up a million viewers and two tenths in the demo. Just two episodes ago, it got a 1.4 demo against the Grammys so it seems to be headed back in the right direction. The worst news came at 10pm where Red Widow fell on its face, done 1.8 million viewers and four tenths in the demo to a pitiful 1.1 demo. Will it even last the full season? Both 8pm Thursday and 10pm Sunday are big trouble for ABC so why do they keep putting mediocre new shows there?

Over on NBC, week two of Celebrity Apprentice was down two tenths in viewers but up a tenth in the demo. The rise is a good sign but it's still low. On CBS, 60 Minutes started things off down four tenths in viewers and even in the demo. The Amazing Race followed and was up a tenth in viewers but down a tenth in the demo. It is very consistent for CBS. At 9pm, The Good Wife was up two tenths in viewers but down a tenth in the demo. It sounds like this show is going to get a renewal but will CBS keep it here? At 10pm, The Mentalist was up three tenths in viewers and two tenths in the demo which is an ok rebound but these numbers are too low for CBS on Sunday night. FOX's animated shows were new but slightly out of order. It's worth noting that The Cleveland Show did much better at 8:30pm instead of 7:30pm but Bob's Burgers wasn't any stronger at 9:30pm than 8:30pm.

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...
