RATINGS RECAP: 10/15/14

Please note I am comparing week to week results with the revised Nielsen numbers. I will update my weekly recaps (already did for week one), but I'm not going back to every ratings recap since day one of the season and revising the statistics. That information is readily available in other places if you want it!

ABC
8:00 Toy Story of Terror
Viewers: 6.2 million, 18-49 demo: 1.8
8:30 It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown
Viewers: 6.2 million, 18-49 demo: 2.2
9:00 Modern Family
Viewers: 9.7 million, 18-49 demo: 3.4
9:30 Black-ish
Viewers: 6.9 million, 18-49 demo: 2.5
10:00 Nashville
Viewers: 5.0 million, 18-49 demo: 1.3

CBS
8:00 Survivor
Viewers: 9.3 million, 18-49 demo: 2.3
9:00 Criminal Minds
Viewers: 10.9 million, 18-49 demo: 2.4
10:00 Stalker
Viewers: 7.9 million, 18-49 demo: 1.7

NBC
8:00 The Mysteries of Laura
Viewers: 8.7 million, 18-49 demo: 1.4
9:00 Law & Order: SVU
Viewers: 7.2 million, 18-49 demo: 1.7
10:00 Chicago PD
Viewers: 6.8 million, 18-49 demo: 1.6

FOX
8:00 Hell's Kitchen
Viewers: 3.7 million, 18-49 demo: 1.2
9:00 Red Band Society
Viewers: 3.2 million, 18-49 demo: 1.0

Wednesday night had Halloween specials at 8pm on ABC and they did pretty well, but I think they would have done better if they had aired the week of Halloween. Why not preempt the Tuesday comedies on Halloween week? At 9pm, Modern Family was down six tenths in viewers and a just tenth in the demo while Black-ish was down a million viewers and four tenths in the demo. It's been up and down for this show which had a great premiere, big week two drop, week three climb, and then big week four drop. I still think it's going to level off in a pretty good place. At 10pm, Nashville was down four tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo for a season low. On FOX, Hell's Kitchen was down a tenth in viewers and two tenths in the demo for a series low. The news was a little better for embattled newbie Red Band Society as it was up three tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo, despite the lead-in being down.

On CBS, Survivor was down four tenths in viewers and two tenths in the demo for a season low. Criminal Minds was up four tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo for a good showing. Stalker continues to hold on well. It was down three tenths in viewers and even in the demo. With a 1.7 demo, it's CBS's highest rated 10pm show yet this week. Finally, NBC had a pretty decent night. At 8pm, The Mysteries of Laura was down a tenth in viewers but up a tenth in the demo. I think a full season pickup is very likely for this show. At 9pm, Law & Order: SVU was down four tenths in viewers and even in the demo. At 10pm, Chicago PD inched up as it was up a tenth in viewers and the demo. Overall, a pretty stable night.

WINNER OF THE NIGHT: Criminal Minds (CBS)
LOSER OF THE NIGHT: Hell's Kitchen (FOX)

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...
