On Thursday night, an AFC West showdown between the Raiders and Chiefs was down over a demo point from the last two weeks of games. It was still a solid number though. CBS had a very interesting night as it appeared that football has been a problem for this lineup and the lower rated game led to a better week. Despite a repeat lead-in this week, The Great Indoors was up half a million viewers and two tenths in the demo. This is by far the most impressive performance for this show so far as it was looking weaker and weaker lately. This is sort of like Life in Pieces last year, where it may improve its chances by good showings on repeat Big Bang weeks. The rest of the lineup was up too. Mom was up half a million viewers and a tenth in the demo and Life in Pieces was up two tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo. At 10pm, Pure Genius was up eight tenths in viewers and two tenths in the demo for its best performance since the series premiere.

On ABC, holiday specials were pretty low at 8pm. At 9pm, The Great American Baking Show was down four tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo from last week's two hour season premiere. At 10pm, the season (and most definitely series) finale of Notorious tumbled three tenths lower than any result it has gotten in its poor fall run. On FOX, the second annual Taraji P. Henson holiday special didn't do much but was an improvement on Rosewood. At 9pm, the season finale of Pitch was up half a million viewers and a tenth in the demo. While a renewal is still unlikely, this show has a better chance than Notorious of seeing a second season thanks to the critical acclaim. I still don't think it will get a second season though, at least not on FOX. Finally on the CW, DC's Legends of Tomorrow was down a big 1.4 million viewers and half a demo point from last week's huge crossover spike. At 9pm, Supernatural was down a tenth in viewers and even in the demo.

WINNER OF THE NIGHT: The Great Indoors (CBS)
LOSER OF THE NIGHT: Notorious (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...
