On Sunday night, it was all about football as usual. The Eagles-Cowboys game was down from last week's Packers-Broncos game in the demo but up slightly in total viewers. It probably would have done much better if these two teams were more competitive this season. FOX brought its lineup back without an NFL overrun and had pretty troubling results. It was better earlier in the night. Bob's Burgers may have benefited from FOX having a late game in some markets and it was up from its last airing (at 9pm) three weeks ago. The Simpsons held up OK but Brooklyn Nine-Nine and The Last Man on Earth tied season lows while Family Guy tied its series low from last February. FOX announced that new sitcom Cooper Barrett's Guide to Surviving Life and new animated show Bordertown will launch on Sundays in January with Brooklyn Nine-Nine heading back to Tuesdays and The Last Man on Earth off the schedule.

CBS had the NFL overrun which led to a pretty typical overrun night for them. As usual, 60 Minutes had a huge jump. Madam Secretary followed and was up 1.1 million viewers and two tenths in the demo. It's not as impressive on overrun nights as it was last season but the total viewer count is still good. The Good Wife was up seven tenths in viewers and two tenths in the demo while CSI: Cyber was up three tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo. On ABC, America's Funniest Home Videos started things off up six tenths in viewers and even in the demo. The three dramas that followed all had slight rallies. Once Upon a Time was up a tenth in viewers and the demo, Blood & Oil was up a tenth in viewers and even in the demo, and Quantico was up three tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo. For Quantico, this is still a pretty big disappointment considering the early promise.

WINNER OF THE NIGHT: 60 Minutes (CBS)
LOSER OF THE NIGHT: Family Guy (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...

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...
