Sunday night had an NCAA Basketball overrun which had a halo effect and brought the entire CBS lineup up. Starting 20 minutes late, 60 Minutes was up three million viewers and eight tenths in the demo for its best performance since football season. The Amazing Race followed and was up eight tenths in viewers and two tenths in the demo for a spring high. At 9pm, The Good Wife was up a big 1.9 million viewers and four tenths in the demo for its best performance since January 12. Some of this may have been due to the halo effect from NCAA Basketball but more of it might have been due to how much The Good Wife has been in the news this week with its shocking twist last Sunday. At 10pm, The Mentalist was up seven tenths in viewers and two tenths in the demo. 

ABC's drama lineup seems to be stabilizing. First up though, America's Funniest Home Videos was down seven tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo. At 8pm, Once Upon a Time was down three tenths in viewers and even in the demo. Week four of Resurrection was down 1.1 million viewers and a tenth in the demo. While it's still another drop, it's much less severe than the past couple weeks so that may be a sign that it is stabilizing. If it can stay above a 2.0 demo, ABC will be more than happy to bring this one back. In fact, things would have to go south in a hurry for this show to not get a renewal. At 10pm, Revenge was down four tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo. ABC has two underperforming veterans to think about for next year: this and Nashville. Should they really bring both back? They already have Grey's Anatomy, Scandal, Castle, Once Upon a Time, and probably Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. and Resurrection. All those shows are outperforming Revenge and Nashville.

On NBC, week two of American Dream Builders was down half a million viewers and a tenth in the demo from its series premiere. This show is going to be quickly forgotten. Speaking of quickly forgotten, Believe was down two tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo and Crisis was down a million viewers and two tenths in the demo. NBC will probably air these out for the rest of the season, but that will be it. On FOX, Bob's Burgers was down two tenths in viewers and the demo, American Dad! was up a tenth in viewers and even in the demo, The Simpsons was down a tenth in viewers and even in the demo, Family Guy was down two tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo, and Cosmos: A Spacetime Odyssey was down four tenths in viewers and two tenths in the demo, as it continues to drop some each week.

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...
