On the final Monday of the season, ABC had the performance finale of Dancing with the Stars, which was up nine tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo for its best spring number yet. It was followed by a two hour premiere of The Bachelorette, which had its best premiere number since 2012. A solid start to ABC's summer season. On CBS, the comedies rallied for their season finales. 2 Broke Girls was up a good six tenths in viewers and four tenths in the demo. Remind me why this isn't on the fall schedule again? At 8:30pm, Mike & Molly was up a tenth in viewers and two tenths in the demo. The series finale of the cancelled Stalker was up four tenths in viewers and even in the demo. At 10pm, the season finale of NCIS: Los Angeles was up 1.1 million viewers and a tenth in the demo.

On NBC, the performance finale of The Voice had a nice spike as well. It was up 1.2 million viewers and two tenths in the demo. It didn't help the season finale of The Night Shift, which was up three tenths in viewers and even in the demo. We may not see this show again until summer 2016. Finally, FOX aired the final two episodes of The Following and they were down just slightly from last week. The 8pm episode was down a tenth in viewers while the 9pm episode was down a tenth in the demo. And to think this was FOX's prized new show just two years ago. It was a quick fall for a once promising show. I stopped watching after last season while many more followed me out the door this season.

WINNER OF THE NIGHT: The Voice (NBC)
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...
