ABC was all new on Wednesday night with Christmas episodes of its comedies and the fall finale of Nashville. At 8pm, The Middle was up seven tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo. Back in the Game followed with its last scheduled episode. It was up a million viewers and a tenth in the demo. And so it ends for Game, which was the odd comedy out of the newbies on ABC. It has three remaining episodes but they aren't scheduled to air anytime soon. At 9pm, Modern Family rebounded nicely as it was up 1.1 million viewers and three tenths in the demo for its best numbers in nearly a month. At 9:30pm, Super Fun Night was up six tenths in viewers and two tenths in the demo. At 10pm, Nashville was down half a million viewers and two tenths in the demo, tying a series low. It's been doing OK in recent weeks by holding on to its numbers but to dip like this for the fall finale is a disappointment. 

CBS had disappointing numbers. Survivor was down seven tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo ahead of Sunday's finale. The dramas that followed did not do any better than their Thanksgiving Eve airings two weeks ago as Criminal Minds was up a tenth in viewers and even in the demo while CSI was actually down seven tenths in viewers and two tenths in the demo. A repeat of CSI was only three tenths below that with a 1.5 demo last week so I'm not sure what happened to these two crime dramas this week. On NBC, The Sing-Off was well below Monday's numbers after The Voice. However, it was a decent performer like NBC wants it to be for the holiday season. A Kelly Clarkson special didn't do much at 10pm but it did manage to tie Nashville. FOX had another bad week with The X Factor as it was down four tenths in viewers and even in the demo with a low 1.4.

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...
