On Monday night, ABC had the season finale of The Bachelor and it did very well as usual. It was up 1.3 million viewers and a nice half a demo point. It was a bit below last year's 2.9 demo finale but still a great result. As usual, the "After the Final Rose" special did well at 10pm. ABC now has the return of Dancing with the Stars and low-rated Quantico next week. On NBC, The Voice held up well despite airing against The Bachelor finale. It was up a tenth in viewers and down a tenth in the demo. Taken also held up as it was down four tenths in viewers and even in the demo for a more promising week three. On FOX, 24: Legacy was up a tenth in viewers and the demo while APB was down two tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo.

Finally, it was a rough night for CBS with everything tying or hitting a series low in the demo. Kevin Can Wait was down half a million viewers and a tenth in the demo. Man with a Plan was down half a million viewers and a tenth in the demo. Both tied series lows and Man with a Plan actually did better last week as a repeat following a repeat of The Big Bang Theory. The 9pm comedies both hit outright series lows. Superior Donuts was even in viewers and down a tenth in the demo while 2 Broke Girls was down two tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo. Finally at 10pm, Scorpion tied a series low by dropping three tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo.

WINNER OF THE NIGHT: The Bachelor (ABC)
LOSER OF THE NIGHT: Man with a Plan (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...

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...
