On Sunday night, CBS had an NFL overrun that lasted an hour and led to The Mentalist not airing its planned new episode. However, the rest of the night seemed to benefit from the big overrun. 60 Minutes benefited the most of course as it was up eight tenths in viewers and four tenths in the demo from the last time it had an NFL overrun in front of it. At 9pm, The Amazing Race was up a strong 1.3 million viewers and three tenths in the demo. At 10pm, The Good Wife was up eight tenths in viewers and two tenths in the demo, tying it season high. This show should really air at 10pm, I'll say it again and again because it always does better when it's in this hour. Last week's buzzy episode likely helped as well.

ABC was up across the board. At 7pm, America's Funniest Home Videos was up nine tenths in viewers and even in the demo. At 8pm, Once Upon a Time was up four tenths in viewers and two tenths in the demo as it is crawling back up slowly again in recent weeks. At 9pm, Revenge rebounded from last week's series low as it was up six tenths in viewers and three tenths in the demo for its best numbers in a month. Despite the slight gains, the year-to-year numbers for these dramas are scary. At 10pm, Betrayal was up a tenth in viewers and the demo, also hitting its best numbers in a month.  

NBC's Colts-Texans showdown tied a season low for Sunday Night Football. It will certainly pop back up next week with the Cowboys-Saints game. FOX aired new episodes in its animated lineup for the first time in a month. The Simpsons was down a million viewers and six tenths in the demo which sounds steep but the last airing was the annual Treehouse of Horror special. At 8:30pm, Bob's Burgers was down four tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo as it had much better retention. In the 9pm hour, Family Guy was down three tenths in viewers and even in the demo while American Dad! was down seven tenths in viewers and two tenths 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...
