On Wednesday night, NBC had its annual Christmas in Rockefeller Center special, which was up a little bit from last year. It led into the newest Dolly Parton family movie. The results were just as good as last year with a strong, though old skewing, performance. NBC just can seemingly do no wrong this year as everything from regularly scheduled shows to specials have done fairly well. The CW's successful crossover week continued with Arrow surging 1.7 million viewers and six tenths in the demo for its best performance since the last crossover back in December 2015. Like No Tomorrow on Tuesday, it was no help to Frequency, which was even with last week. On CBS, Survivor was up 1.2 million viewers and four tenths in the demo from last week's two hour Thanksgiving Eve broadcast. Criminal Minds did not air last week and was down two tenths in viewers and even in the demo from its last airing. At 10pm, Code Black was down three tenths in viewers and up a tenth in the demo. CBS announced that Doubt, not season two of Criminal Minds: Beyond Borders, will take the Weds 10pm slot in February after Code Black's season ends.

On ABC, The Goldbergs was down half a million viewers and two tenths in the demo for a season low. Speechless was down seven tenths in viewers and two tenths in the demo for a series low. Both these shows seemed to get dinged by NBC's special and they'll likely get hit harder next week when they have to face Hairspray Live! At 9pm, Modern Family was down half a million viewers and even in the demo. Despite the comedies being down or even at best, Black-ish was down two tenths but up two tenths in the demo. At 10pm, Designated Survivor rose for the first time in its run as it was even in viewers and up a tenth in the demo. Finally on FOX, Lethal Weapon was down two tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo for a series low. At 9pm, Empire was down six tenths in viewers and two tenths in the demo to tie a series low while the viewer total was an outright series low. Empire is another show that could be nicked by Hairspray next week.

WINNER OF THE NIGHT: Arrow (CW)
LOSER OF THE NIGHT: Frequency (CW)

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...
