On a busy Monday night, ABC had the season finale of The Bachelor, which was up seven tenths in viewers and two tenths in the demo from its last regular airing. It didn't get the finale spike it usually did, but it still had a pretty nice season after a rough start. The "After the Final Rose" special at 10pm was on par with the finale. Over on CBS, 2 Broke Girls started things off down two tenths in viewers and even in the demo while Mike & Molly was down nine tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo. At 9pm, Scorpion was down a tenth in viewers and the demo for its lowest numbers since December. NCIS: Los Angeles closed things out up nine tenths in viewers and two tenths in the demo. The viewer total is a season high. Maybe the lack of Castle in the hour helped?

Over on NBC, The Voice was down seven tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo from last week. At 10pm, The Night Shift was down six tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo. Is NBC going to let this weak show follow The Voice all season long? After the failures of State of Affairs and The Night Shift here, it makes The Blacklist look all that more impressive. It was pretty ugly for FOX and week two of the new season of The Following. The drama was down 1.4 million viewers and half a demo point from last week's premiere, easily hitting a series low. This should probably be it for this show. It's on an irreversible decline at this point and it has to continue to follow Gotham repeats for a month.

WINNER OF THE NIGHT: The Bachelor (ABC)
LOSER OF THE NIGHT: The Following (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...
