Despite having a great fall the rest of the week, NBC has punted on Fridays all season. That finally came to an end with scripted programming returning to the night. The final season of Grimm started things off at 8pm with a 0.9 demo, which was about the same as last season. It led into the two hour series premiere of Emerald City. The Oz drama seemed like it might premiere better given some online buzz so I'd categorize this as disappointing even though it did build on its Grimm lead-in. It will probably be fractional as soon as next week. FOX premiered its new Friday lineup. Rosewood saw a new series low at 8pm, but it wasn't that far below what it was doing on Thursdays in the fall. At 9pm, Sleepy Hollow tied its series low, also hitting a 0.6 demo. FOX probably shouldn't have expected anything more here.

Despite NBC and FOX having new lineups, it was the ABC and CBS that had nice January returns. On ABC, Last Man Standing soared a million viewers and three tenths in the demo for its best performance since January 9, 2015. I'm not sure what caused this performance but it was a great showing. Dr. Ken was up a million viewers and two tenths in the demo for its best performance since March. At 9pm, Shark Tank was up nine tenths in viewers and a big four tenths in the demo, also hitting a season high. The good vibes kept coming with 20/20, which was up 1.2 million viewers and a big half a demo point. CBS had a good night too although not as ridiculous jumps. MacGyver was up seven tenths in viewers and two tenths in the demo for its best performance since September 30. Hawaii Five-0 was up six tenths in viewers and two tenths in the demo while Blue Bloods was up six tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo. Finally on the CW, a double pumping of Crazy Ex-Girlfriend was in line with recent episodes.

WINNER OF THE NIGHT: Last Man Standing (ABC)
LOSER OF THE NIGHT: Sleepy Hollow (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...

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...
