Sunday night was CBS's turn to have a massive NFL lead-in and boy, was it massive. The close Broncos-Steelers game delivered a stunning 43.0 million viewers and 13.2 demo in the 7pm hour. This led to a highly publicized 60 Minutes episode featuring an interview with Sean Penn. 60 Minutes delivered 20.6 million viewers and a 4.8 demo. The good news kept rolling at 9pm where Madam Secretary was up 2.9 million viewers and a full demo point, tying its series high set with the series premiere in September 2014. Of course, this is all fool's gold because it won't get much of a lead-in the rest of the way this season. At 10pm, The Good Wife was up 1.3 viewers and three tenths in the demo. After Dateline NBC, NBC aired the Democratic Presidential Debate and it delivered a solid 10.2 million viewers and 2.1 demo.

FOX came back a lot from last week's NFL-fueled lineup but the earlier NFL game. This is probably the new normal for FOX with The Simpsons and Family Guy hovering in the upper 1s and Cooper Barrett's Guide to Surviving Life and Bordertown doing next to nothing. Once again though, Bordertown is looking slightly stronger than Cooper Barrett by delivering the same result but an hour later and with a weaker (albeit more compatible) lead-in. Finally on ABC, America's Funniest Home Videos was up four tenths in viewers and even in the demo while Galavant had another rough week as it was down a tenth in viewers and even in the demo.

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