On Sunday night, NBC had a huge night with the Patriots-Broncos showdown delivering the best Sunday Night Football since October 4. It was CBS with the NFL overrun and it pushed the lineup back a full half an hour than they were scheduled (and an hour later than they aired last week), meaning CSI: Cyber did not air at all. As usual, 60 Minutes got a bounce, but not as big as some weeks probably due to the later start. At 9pm, Madam Secretary was up a tenth in viewers and two tenths in the demo. It's better than last week but not as good as it can do on NFL Sundays. At 10pm, The Good Wife was up a tenth in viewers and even in the demo. On ABC, America's Funniest Home Videos was even in viewers and down a tenth in the demo. The dramas returned poorly, however. Once Upon a Time was down half a million viewers and three tenths in the demo. Its 1.3 demo was two tenths lower than its previous series low. This was a really weak showing for a drama that may finally be out of rebounds. At 9pm, Blood & Oil was down two tenths in viewers but actually up a tenth in the demo from its last episode three weeks ago. At 10pm, Quantico was down a tenth in viewers and the demo to tie its series low.

WINNER OF THE NIGHT: 60 Minutes (CBS)
LOSER OF THE NIGHT: Once Upon a Time (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...

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...
