On Sunday night, CBS topped the night with the Academy of Country Music Awards, but it was down huge from last year's result. Earlier in the night, 60 Minutes was up 2.1 million viewers and two tenths in the demo. It appears that last week's Easter Sunday result was not a fluke for NBC's Little Big Shots as the new show was up seven tenths in viewers but down a tenth in the demo. This is a strong show for NBC but it's not the game-changer it looked like it might be at first. At 9pm, The Carmichael Show was up three tenths in viewers and even in the demo while Crowded was even with last week. Dateline NBC replaced Hollywood Game Night and was up a million viewers and a tenth in the demo from Game Night's result.

On ABC, America's Funniest Home Videos was down half a million viewers and a tenth in the demo. All three dramas went up a tenth in the demo. In total viewers, Once Upon a Time and Quantico were up three tenths while The Family was up half a million viewers. Finally, FOX set series lows for every show of the night except for Bob's Burgers, which aired two episodes at 8:30pm and 9pm. For Bordertown and Cooper Barrett's Guide to Surviving Life, it meant a pitiful one million viewers and 0.4 demo. For The Simpsons, it meant its first ever 1.0 demo in its 27 year history.

WINNER OF THE NIGHT: NONE
LOSER OF THE NIGHT: Cooper Barrett's Guide to Surviving Life (FOX)

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...
