As expected, NBC had a huge Sunday Night Football game between the Cowboys and Giants which was up a huge 8.7 million viewers and 2.6 demo points for a season high. A good Cowboys team can always bring in huge ratings. On CBS, 60 Minutes was down eight tenths in viewers and two tenths in the demo. Two colorized episodes of The Dick Van Dyke Show followed and did decently in total viewers but skewed ancient. Seems like it did enough to get some more colorized episodes next Christmas. At 9pm, Madam Secretary was down 1.2 million viewers and three tenths in the demo for a series low. Guess it was being propped up by NCIS: Los Angeles more than it seemed
Elementary was down three tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo, tying a series low.

On ABC, America's Funniest Home Videos was up three tenths in viewers and even in the demo. ABC aired the movie Frozen after that and it didn't pretty decently for a theatrical release on TV, which is not the big draw it was back in the 1990s and before. A special about the making of Frozen that followed and didn't do as well, but was still an improvement on Quantico. It was a big improvement on ABC's usual Sunday lineup. Finally, it was FOX with the NFL overrun for a second week. The Simpsons and Son of Zorn were both down two tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo. At 9pm, Family Guy was down four tenths in viewers and two tenths in the demo. The Last Man on Earth closed things out down three tenths in viewers and two tenths in the demo.

WINNER OF THE NIGHT: Sunday Night Football (NBC)
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...

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...
