Sunday night had an NFL overrun on FOX, but it ended pretty early and most of the country was watching the Seahawks blowout the Giants, so it wasn't the biggest boost to the entertainment lineup. At 8pm, The Simpsons was still up 2.5 million viewers and a full demo point, but it wasn't as big as it has been on other NFL days. At 8:30pm, Brooklyn Nine-Nine was up six tenths in viewers and two tenths in the demo as its retention of The Simpsons was significantly weaker this week. Family Guy followed down 1.1 million viewers and a rough seven tenths in the demo from its last airing three weeks ago. It hit another series low, it has not been very strong this season. Dud Mulaney was up four tenths in viewers and two tenths in the demo from last week, when it followed a Family Guy repeat. FOX made the necessary move today of swapping Mulaney with Bob's Burgers. Mulaney will now air at 7:30pm on non-doubleheader days for FOX (and those ratings will probably be scary low). Bob's Burgers gets a timeslot upgrade and will now air at 9:30pm. While not official, Mulaney's episode trimming and this change is a de facto cancellation.

CBS did not have the NFL overrun but still had solid total viewer counts. 60 Minutes had its best showing without an NFL overrun this season at 7pm. At 8pm, Madam Secretary was down seven tenths in viewers and four tenths in the demo, but the lead-in was nearly two full demo points lower, so that's understandable. The total viewer count was still strong. It will be interesting to see if it can keep this up when football is completely out of the picture in the spring. At 9pm, The Good Wife was up two tenths in viewers and even in the demo from last week, when it aired at 10pm. CSI finally aired after two weeks of preemptions, and it was down two tenths in viewers and the demo from its last airing for a series low. I have a feeling we'll get an announcement before Christmas that this will be the final season for CSI. 

On ABC, America's Funniest Home Videos had a good night as it was up six tenths in viewers and three tenths in the demo. With a shorter (and less interesting) NFL overrun, it appears that some football fans may switch over to Videos. At 8pm, Once Upon a Time was down a tenth in viewers and the demo. Resurrection was down four tenths in viewers and two tenths in the demo, tying a series low. Revenge finally beat Resurrection for the first time as it was up six tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo. This says more about Resurrection's weakness than Revenge's strength. NBC had a complete blowout on Sunday Night Football courtesy of the Packers, and that resulted in a season low.

WINNER OF THE NIGHT: The Simpsons (FOX)
LOSER OF THE NIGHT: Family Guy (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...
