Sunday night had the Golden Globe Awards on NBC with Tina Fey and Amy Poehler hosting for the last time (for now...) It was slightly below the last two years but still pretty dominating. It will be interesting to see who they get to host next year. It was pretty dismal for ABC. At 7pm, America's Funniest Home Videos was down a tenth in viewers and two tenths in the demo. Week two of Galavant tumbled in a big way after its promising premiere last week. It was down a rough 3.3 million viewers and seven tenths in the demo, one of the tougher week two drops for a new show. You can blame the Golden Globes, but it's not going to get any easier next week against the AFC Championship Game on CBS. It got even worse for the dramas that followed. Resurrection was down a million viewers and two tenths in the demo for another series low while Revenge was down three tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo, hitting a series low in the latter category.

CBS had the NFL Divisional Playoff game between the Colts and Broncos and it helped 60 Minutes reach a season high, airing at 8pm, The rest of the night didn't get as much of a bounce as it might have had it not been opposite the Golden Globes. Airing an hour later than their regular times, Madam Secretary was up four tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo while The Good Wife was down eight tenths in viewers but up a tenth in the demo. FOX was pretty quiet in a sign of things to come in the next couple months without an NFL lead-in. Mulaney was up three tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo from its last airing before Christmas. The rest of the lineup was down in huge numbers from last week, but none of them hit series lows as they may have benefited from advertising earlier in the day a bit. It's been a solid fall but FOX Sundays could be a problem in the months to come.

WINNER OF THE NIGHT: 60 Minutes (CBS)
LOSER OF THE NIGHT: Resurrection (ABC)

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...
