On Sunday night, the Academy of Country Music Awards dominated on CBS but was down a full demo point from last year's awards. On ABC, America's Funniest Home Videos was up two tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo. At 8pm, Once Upon a Time was up seven tenths in viewers and a strong three tenths in the demo. The better lead-in didn't help Resurrection as it fell yet again. This time it was down three tenths in viewers and two tenths in the demo. The trajectory is not looking good at all for this show. At 10pm, Revenge was down a tenth in viewers and the demo for a series low. Revenge is following the Resurrection pattern and that's even more unacceptable since it's an established show.

The new NBC lineup is getting worse and worse with each show hitting another low. American Dream Builders was down two tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo. Believe was down six tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo while Crisis was up two tenths in viewers but down a tenth in the demo. Finally on FOX, Bob's Burgers started things even in viewers and down a tenth in the demo. American Dad! was down a tenth in viewers and two tenths in the demo. I'm surprised FOX is giving a better slot to Dad over Burgers since Dad is headed to TBS after this season. At 8pm, The Simpsons was up four tenths in viewers and even in the demo. It was at a 1.9 demo for the fourth consecutive week. Family Guy was up six tenths in viewers and two tenths in the demo. Finally, Cosmos: A Spacetime Odyssey was up a tenth in viewers and even in the demo as it didn't go down in the demo for the first time.

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...

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...
