Friday night had the premiere of FOX's unscripted lineup. Masterchef Junior was impressive at 8pm with a solid 1.3 demo. That's better than everything FOX aired so far this week except for Gotham, Rosewood, and Empire. How long until Masterchef Junior is back on the move to another night? The news wasn't as good at 9pm where World's Funniest was mostly ignored with a 0.8 demo. Over on NBC, the comedies were steady but just so low. Undateable was dead even with last week while Truth Be Told was down a tenth in viewers and the demo. At 9pm, Grimm was down two tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo from its season premiere last week. Dateline NBC rounded things out up nine tenths in viewers and two tenths in the demo.

On ABC, Last Man Standing was even in viewers and down a tenth in the demo while Dr. Ken was down four tenths in viewers and even in the demo. At 9pm, Shark Tank was up half a million viewers and two tenths in the demo for its best showing in over a month. 20/20 came back from last week's big Leah Remini/scientology interview as it fell three million viewers and four tenths in the demo. Finally on CBS, The Amazing Race was down three tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo while Hawaii Five-0 was up half a million viewers and even in the demo. Blue Bloods recovered from last week's drop as it was up a nice 1.2 million viewers and two tenths in the demo.

WINNER OF THE NIGHT: Masterchef Junior (FOX)
LOSER OF THE NIGHT: World's Funniest (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

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...
