There were several finales on Sunday night. On ABC, America's Funniest Home Videos started things out up three tenths in viewers and even in the demo. At 8pm, a two hour finale of Once Upon a Time was up two tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo. It seems like it should have had more of a bounce for the finale. Unless they can come up with another exciting arc like the Frozen one from the fall, it seems like this show will continue to decline. At 10pm, the series finale of Revenge was even in viewers and up a tenth in the demo for its best performance since November. Still, it went out with a whimper for a show that was once so promising. After two editions of 60 Minutes, the season finale of The Good Wife was up a million viewers and three tenths in the demo for its best performance since January 11. This was a nice bounce for the finale after a rough spring. At 10pm, the cancelled Battle Creek was up a tenth in viewers and the demo.

Three shows were new on FOX. At 8pm, The Simpsons was down three tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo. At 8:30pm, Brooklyn Nine-Nine was down a tenth in viewers and up a tenth in the demo. It actually built on its Simpsons lead-in, which is impressive. Bob's Burgers temporarily moved back to 9:30pm and was up three tenths in viewers and two tenths in the demo from last week's 7:30pm episode. Finally on NBC, A.D. The Bible Continues was down a million viewers and two tenths in the demo. And there it is. Every new show on NBC has gone below a 1.0 demo. Yikes. At 10pm, American Odyssey was down four tenths in viewers and even in the demo. It's gotten a 0.5 demo for four weeks in a row and is still on the air.

WINNER OF THE NIGHT: The Good Wife (CBS)
LOSER OF THE NIGHT: A.D. The Bible Continues (NBC)

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...
