Sunday night had a mammoth overrun for the NFL with the annual Manning-Brady Bowl on CBS. The huge lead-in led to a season high for 60 Minutes as it was up nicely from last week's NFL-fueled numbers. Then, CBS had a great showing from Madam Secretary, which was up 1.5 million viewers and three tenths in the demo for its best numbers since the series premiere. Yes, it's retention out of 60 Minutes wasn't great but you have to remember that 60 Minutes was probably losing NFL viewers as the hour went on. This was a great showing for CBS's freshman drama. At 10pm, The Good Wife was up three tenths in viewers but down a tenth in the demo. For the second week in a row, CSI was preempted thanks to a very long NFL overrun. NBC had one of its lower weeks for Sunday Night Football with the Ravens-Steelers tilt.

ABC's lineup was on the rise from last week's lows with America's Funniest Home Videos back at 7pm after a week off. At 8pm, Once Upon a Time was up six tenths in viewers and two tenths in the demo. Resurrection was up the same at 9pm. Revenge closed out the night up four tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo. Finally, FOX had a weaker night with no NFL lead-in and Family Guy being a repeat again. At 7:30pm, Bob's Burgers was down two tenths in viewers and up a tenth in the demo from its last airing a month ago. The Simpsons and Brooklyn Nine-Nine were both down big from their last episodes, which had an NFL lead-in. They were exactly on par with what they did the last time there wasn't an NFL lead-in, though. At 9:30pm, Mulaney fell seven tenths in viewers and three tenths in the demo to a pitiful 0.7 demo. Time to pull this show and put Bob's Burgers on at 9:30pm.

WINNER OF THE NIGHT: Madam Secretary (CBS)
LOSER OF THE NIGHT: Mulaney (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...
