On Sunday night, FOX was new except for The Simpsons. Both Bordertown and the final scheduled airing of Cooper Barrett's Guide to Surviving Life were ridiculously low. At 8:30pm, Bob's Burgers was down two tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo. At 9pm, Family Guy was new for the first time since March 13 and it was down a tenth in viewers and even in the demo. With a 1.4 demo, it was the top scripted option of the night. At 9:30pm, The Last Man on Earth was down two tenths in viewers and even in the demo. On NBC, Little Big Shots was back down 1.6 million viewers and three tenths in the demo from last week's spike for a new series low. This is still a success story but not the huge smash it was out of the gate. Two episodes of Crowded aired in the 9pm hour. The 9pm episode was on par with last week's episode of The Carmichael Show while the 9:30pm episode was down two tenths in viewers and even in the demo from last week's Crowded. At 10pm, Dateline NBC remained a decent performer, rising 1.1 million viewers and a tenth in the demo.

It was a rough night for CBS. At 7pm, 60 Minutes was down big from last week's Masters-fueled edition. At 8pm, Madam Secretary was down three tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo for a series low. It was the first time it went below a 1.0 in the demo. At 9pm, The Good Wife was up 1.1 million viewers and a tenth in the demo from its last airing three weeks ago. At 10pm, Elementary was down half a million viewers and two tenths in the demo from last week's regular timeslot episode. It was a new series low for Elementary and this seems just as weak, if not weaker, than CSI: Cyber. Finally on ABC, Once Upon a Time was even with last week. At a mere 1.2 demo, it was the second highest scripted show of the night. At 9pm, The Family was down two tenths in viewers and even in the demo. Quantico closed out the night up a tenth in viewers and down a tenth in the demo.

WINNER OF THE NIGHT: Dateline NBC (NBC)
LOSER OF THE NIGHT: Elementary (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...

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...
