Sunday night had season finales on CBS and FOX. On CBS, 60 Minutes started things off up 1.4 million viewers and two tenths in the demo. At 8pm, the season finale of The Amazing Race was up eight tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo. I think the move to the lower pressure Friday slot next year will be good for this show. At 9pm, The Good Wife was up four tenths in viewers and even in the demo but it was The Mentalist that was more impressive as it was up 1.1 million viewers and three tenths in the demo. Of course The Mentalist is the one that won't be back until midseason. On ABC, the season finale of America's Funniest Home Videos was up seven tenths in viewers and even in the demo. The Billboard Music Awards were up significantly from last year to their best performance in years. This was an impressive showing for a second tier award show. 

On FOX, all the animated shows had their season finales. Bob's Burgers was dead even with last week. The final FOX airing of American Dad! was also dead even with last week. After nearly a decade on FOX, the show will head to TBS in the fall. At 8pm, The Simpsons was down four tenths in viewers and even in the demo while Family Guy was down three tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo. Cosmos: A Spacetime Odyssey was down three tenths in viewers and even in the demo. That shows still has a couple weeks left. Finally on NBC, American Dream Builders was down four tenths in viewers and even 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...
