FOX had an NFL overrun for a second straight week and it went better this time around as the lead-in was longer and stronger. At 8pm, The Simpsons was dead even with last week, but everything else went up. Brooklyn Nine-Nine was up nine tenths in viewers and three tenths in the demo while Family Guy was up nine tenths in viewers and four tenths in the demo. The best news for FOX came at 9:30pm where Bob's Burgers was a huge improvement over Mulaney. It delivered a solid 1.7 demo, which is eight tenths above Mulaney's demo number from last week. FOX needed to make this move because it was just ugly for Mulaney, which will now air at 7:30pm on non-NFL weeks. NBC had a good night with their Colts-Patriots showdown delivering the best Sunday night numbers in nearly a month.

Over on ABC, America's Funniest Home Videos was up a tenth in viewers and the demo. This has been a strong player this year even with football competition. At 8pm, a two hour Once Upon a Time was down six tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo. It was a big improvement in the 9pm hour compared to what Resurrection has been doing. It also seemed to help Revenge, which was down a tenth in viewers but up two tenths in the demo for a season high. That's a pretty big indicator that Resurrection isn't cutting it. Over on CBS, 60 Minutes was up half a million viewers and two tenths in the demo - not bad for a Sunday where most of the country didn't have a direct NFL lead-in. At 8pm, Madam Secretary was up three tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo. The Good Wife followed down a tenth in viewers and the demo. Madam Secretary seems to have helped this show's total viewer count this year but it was the only show to drop week to week besides the two hour Once. At 10pm, CSI was down two tenths in viewers and up a tenth in the demo.

WINNER OF THE NIGHT: Bob's Burgers (FOX)
LOSER OF THE NIGHT: The Good Wife (CBS)

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...
