It was a good Friday night for most shows as CBS was airing specials and repeats and the other networks benefited. CBS aired the classic special Frosty the Snowman and the newer special Yes Virginia as well as the Grammy Nominations concert. Everything did OK but not as well as their usual drama lineup. On ABC, Last Man Standing was up a tenth in viewers and two tenths in the demo for its best demo in nearly a month while The Neighbors was up three tenths in viewers and even in the demo. At 9pm, Shark Tank was up half a million viewers and two tenths in the demo as it definitely seemed to be help by not having Hawaii Five-0 in the same timeslot. At 10pm, 20/20 was up even in viewers and up two tenths in the demo.

On NBC, Dateline NBC was up two tenths in viewers and the demo. The drama combo of Grimm and Dracula had a nice rally. Grimm was up six tenths in viewers and three tenths in the demo while Dracula was up a million viewers and two tenths in the demo for its best numbers since its second episode. On FOX, Bones was up 1.1 million viewers and two tenths in the demo for its best Friday numbers yet. It was even with what Almost Human got on Monday in its old slot. Time for FOX to admit mistake and switch the two shows? Raising Hope was up two tenths in the demo at 9pm and a tenth at 9:30pm.

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...
