It was another typical spring night on Thursday with some shows performing alright while others saw new series lows. ABC celebrated the 10th anniversary of Grey's Anatomy with a decently rated rerun of the pilot at 8pm followed by a new episode in the show's old 9pm timeslot. It was up eight tenths in viewers and two tenths in the demo from last week's 8pm edition. It pretty much matched what Scandal did in this slot last week. At 10pm, American Crime took another hit. It was down three tenths in viewers and two tenths in the demo for another series low. Even if it scores some critical acclaim, this was probably the final nail in the coffin. Over on FOX, Bones was up three tenths in viewers and even in the demo while Backstrom was up a tenth in viewers and even in the demo. Is it worth getting into renewal negotiations with the Bones leads when it's doing numbers like this?

Over on CBS, it looks like last week's huge drop for The Big Bang Theory could be the start of a trend, at least for the rest of the season. It was up nine tenths in viewers and just a tenth in the demo so it barely made up ground for the huge drop of over a demo point that it took last week. The Odd Couple rallied a bit as well as it was up a million viewers and two tenths in the demo. This was a good sign for the bubble sitcom. CBS tried Mom in the 9pm slot and it was up four tenths in viewers and even in the demo from last week's 9:30 episode. This was a potential trial run for a timeslot move and while it wasn't anything special, I'd call it a win since it looked like it can anchor an hour. Mom has been having a great year and I think it's time to let it have the 9pm slot next season. At 10pm, Elementary was down half a million viewers and even in the demo. Finally on NBC, Dateline moved to 10pm and was an improvement on recent numbers from The Slap and Allegiance.

WINNER OF THE NIGHT: Grey's Anatomy (ABC)
LOSER OF THE NIGHT: American Crime (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...

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...
