Thursday night was fall finale night for the TGIT trio and they won't be back until February. They all went out on a positive note, however. While two were down year-to-year, they all rose to their best numbers in weeks. Grey's Anatomy was up half a million viewers and three tenths in the demo for its best performance since the season premiere and it was up from last fall's finale. Scandal was up four tenths in viewers and two tenths in the demo for its best performance in. For the second time in three weeks, Grey's beat Scandal in the demo. At 10pm, How to Get Away with Murder had the best rally of all. It was up half a million viewers and four tenths in the demo for its best performance since October 1. Over on NBC, Heroes: Reborn was down a tenth in viewers and even in the demo and The Blacklist was up a tenth in viewers and even in the demo. The season (and most certainly series) finale of The Player followed and was even in viewers and up a tenth in the demo. It is not officially cancelled, but the episode order being cut always means it's over.

On CBS, smaller market NFL preemptions didn't hurt the regular lineup as much as the last couple weeks. The Big Bang Theory was up three tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo. Life in Pieces was up four tenths in viewers and even in the demo. Mom had a decent week as it was up three tenths in viewers and two tenths in the demo for a season high. 2 Broke Girls was up a tenth in viewers and the demo from last week's season premiere. At 10pm, Elementary had another bad week but it was up four tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo. This lineup will probably suffer next week with mostly new episodes on Thanksgiving night. Finally on FOX, Bones was up a tenth in viewers but down a tenth in the demo to a season low. At 9pm, Sleepy Hollow was down two tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo. The viewer total is a series low.

WINNER OF THE NIGHT: How to Get Away with Murder (ABC)
LOSER OF THE NIGHT: Sleepy Hollow (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...
