Friday night had premieres on CBS and FOX. First up, CBS debuted its new Friday lineup with Hawaii Five-0 in the middle. First up, Undercover Boss debuted to a 1.6 demo which is on the low end of what it was getting last year, but this show tends to fluctuate. At 9pm, Hawaii Five-0 came over to Fridays from Mondays at 10pm. Though it hit a series low in the demo, it actually did better in total viewers than it did most of last year. Overall, it was a very solid start by Friday standards. It seemed to help Blue Bloods too which had its best demo since April 6, 2012. NBC had a two hour Dateline NBC which slightly outdid 20/20 in total viewers but tied it in the demo. In late October, they will no longer have to compete against each other when Dracula launches.

FOX had the series premiere of Masterchef Junior and it got off to a solid start as it beat Undercover Boss to win the 8pm hour. For a Friday reality show, this is pretty good. Finally, ABC had some troubles at 8pm against new competition. After lackluster starts last week, Last Man Standing fell a million viewers and three tenths in the demo while The Neighbors was down half a million viewers and two tenths in the demo to a low 1.0. Friday isn't always a huge priority but these numbers are troubling this early. At 9pm, Shark Tank was even in viewers and up two tenths in the demo despite more competition and a lower lead-in. Finally at 10pm, 20/20 was down 1.2 million viewers and a tenth 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...
