Sunday night had the Golden Globe Awards on NBC. With host Ricky Gervais, it was down a little bit from last year's show. FOX had a mammoth NFL overrun with their Packers-Redskins playoff game delivered 38.9 million viewers and a 12.1 demo. It helped bolster their comedy lineup to rises across the board, but it could have been better. The Simpsons benefited the most with the direct lead-in. It was up 3.9 million viewers and 1.6 demo. Week two of Cooper Barrett's Guide to Surviving Life was up 2 million viewers and nine tenths in the demo. The problem is this will probably be a series high for this show and last week was more indicative of what it will be like going forward. At 9pm, Family Guy was up six tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo. This show seems to be fading fast. At 9:30pm, Bordertown was up 1.3 million viewers and four tenths in the demo. Considering the very small rise for Family Guy, this seems like a slightly better performance than Cooper.

On ABC, America's Funniest Home Videos was down nine tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo from its last new episode. Week two of Galavant plummeted eight tenths in viewers and three tenths in the demo to a very weak 0.6 demo. This show is being even more ignored this season. Finally, CBS skewed ancient as expected against the competition. 60 Minutes hit a season low at 7pm. At 8pm, Madam Secretary was down 1.1 million viewers and three tenths in the demo for series lows. It gets one more week with a football lead-in next week before it has to deal with self-starting. At 9pm, The Good Wife was down eight tenths in viewers and even in the demo. It actually built on Madam Secretary in the demo. At 10pm, CSI: Cyber was up three tenths in viewers and even in the demo. Both The Good Wife and CSI: Cyber didn't do all that bad, all things considered.

WINNER OF THE NIGHT: The Simpsons (FOX)
LOSER OF THE NIGHT: Madam Secretary (CBS)

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...
