On Sunday night, NBC had the second week of its new lineup. Everything was down some but it could have been worse I guess. At 8pm, Little Big Shots dropped 1.6 million viewers and three tenths in the demo to tie series lows. This is a solid performance but this show isn't going to have another amazing spring run. At 9pm, Chicago Justice was down eight tenths in viewers and two tenths in the demo from last Sunday's episode. It was down just a tenth from the special Tuesday episode so I would consider this an acceptable time period showing. At 10pm, Shades of Blue was down half a million viewers and a tenth in the demo. It had a ton of 1.0 demos last year but never went below that until now. On CBS, 60 Minutes was down seven tenths in viewers and up a tenth in the demo. NCIS: Los Angeles followed and was down two tenths in viewers and the demo. At 9pm, Madam Secretary was up eight tenths in viewers and even in the demo while Elementary ended the night up two tenths in viewers and even in the demo.

On ABC, America's Funniest Home Videos was even and topped the ABC lineup in the demo despite airing at 7pm. At 8pm, Once Upon a Time was up a tenth in viewers and even in the demo. After a very weak premiere, Time After Time dropped two tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo for its second week. It wasn't a horrible drop but there's only so much lower it can go after last week's ugly premiere. The news was worst at 10pm where American Crime completely bombed at 10pm with a 0.5 demo, three tenths lower than its series low. I'm not sure the awards buzz will be able to save it when its this low. Finally on FOX, Bob's Burgers and The Simpsons were both even. Making History had a bad second week as it dropped four tenths in viewers and two tenths in the demo from its premiere to a weak 0.7 demo. At 9pm, Family Guy was even in viewers and down a tenth in the demo while The Last Man on Earth ended the night down two tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo.

WINNER OF THE NIGHT: America's Funniest Home Videos (ABC)
LOSER OF THE NIGHT: American Crime (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...
