Friday night brought three unscripted premieres. There weren't really any winners but there was definitely a clear loser and that was on FOX. On ABC, the Eric Stonestreet hosted The Toy Box premiered to 4.1 million viewers and a 0.8 demo. This was just a bit below recent numbers for the comedies in the hour. At 9pm, Shark Tank was new for the first time since February 24 and down a million viewers and two tenths in the demo, but that was a high showing back in February so this isn't bad especially with so many weeks off. At 10pm, 20/20 was up half a million viewers and even in the demo. CBS had their three dramas tie series lows in the demo. MacGyver was even, Hawaii Five-0 was up a tenth in viewers and even in the demo, and Blue Bloods was up two tenths in viewers and down a tenth in the demo.

On NBC, First Dates premiered to 3.8 million viewers and a 0.8 demo, which was almost exactly even with The Toy Box. I'd say this was more of an over-performance because The Toy Box is part of a better lineup and got more promotion. At 9pm, Dateline NBC was down seven tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo. On FOX, Rosewood was even to start the night. While The Toy Box and First Dates had passable performances, FOX's You the Jury was completely ignored with 1.5 million viewers and a 0.4 demo. It'll probably get to keep airing here and it's not too much lower than Sleepy Hollow, but it's still a bad performance. Finally on the CW, The Originals was up two tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo while Reign was even.

WINNER OF THE NIGHT: The Originals (CW)
LOSER OF THE NIGHT: You the Jury (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...
