On Monday night, NBC had its first of two weeks of comedy previews following The Voice. First up, The Voice recovered from last week's Dancing with the Stars showdown as it was up 2.3 million viewers and two tenths in the demo. The viewer total is a season high. It led into an OK sampling for Superstore. The 10pm episode lost a lot of its lead-in but posted a solid 2.0 demo while the 10:30pm episode dropped from there, but it could have been worse. 10pm is a tough time for comedies to air so this was OK. We'll see what it can do when it airs at 8pm in January. I think this was probably the best thing NBC could do to get it sampling. On FOX, the fall finale of Gotham got a little bump as it was half a million viewers and two tenths in the demo. The unofficial series finale of Minority Report was up seven tenths in viewers and two tenths in the demo. The viewer total was actually the best since the second episode but it was far too little, far too late.

ABC was full of holiday cheer with a Charlie Brown special event leading into the 50th anniversary of A Charlie Brown Christmas, which posted numbers close to last year. It led into a modest debut for the holiday reality series, The Great Holiday Baking Show. While nothing special, I would call this acceptable for 10pm in December. It will be paired with The Great Christmas Light Fight starting next week. Finally on CBS, it was only Supergirl that was new, and it was up eight tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo. It posted its best total viewership in several weeks, but only got back a tenth from last week, which some had attributed to it being Thanksgiving week. I think this is really just about where this show is going to land. It skews a lot older than your average superhero show, but it is on CBS. It's also worth noting that NCIS: Los Angeles was not far off at all from its usual numbers with new episodes.

WINNER OF THE NIGHT: The Voice (NBC)
LOSER OF THE NIGHT: NONE (everything was up)

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...
