ABC had a pretty normal Sunday night to wrap up Week 5. America's Funniest Home Videos was up some in viewers and even in the demo while Extreme Makeover: Home Edition was up slightly in both. Both series hit a season high in total viewers. Desperate Housewives followed and was down half a million viewers and even in the demo. Finally, Brothers & Sisters, which was just given a full season order, was down some in viewers and a tenth in the demo for a season low. Will ABC sample a new drama here in the spring? They should! 


CBS got off to a good start with NFL overrun dominating for the first 17 minutes. As usual, this aided 60 Minutes which was up sharply from last week when there was no NFL overrun. Minutes hit a season high in viewers and was up more than a full demo point from last week. The Amazing Race followed and was up half a million viewers but down a tenth in the demo which is disappointing but it had more direct competition with a big NFL game. Undercover Boss was down a bit in viewers and a tenth in the demo, hitting a demo season low. Will this start to fade a bit as the novelty wears off? Finally, CSI: Miami was down nearly a million viewers and two tenths in the demo, hitting a season low there. The demo was lower than two weeks ago when the show started at 11pm because of overrun, which has to be disappointing for CBS.

Sunday Night Football for NBC was absolutely dominating thanks to the second annual Brett Favre return to Lambeau. It was up over 6 million viewers and two full demo points from last week's Colts-Redskins game. FOX did not get a Game 7 for the NLCS Playoffs and instead aired repeats of their animated lineup which was low-rated, the high point being a Family Guy rerun notching a 2 in the demo.

DECADE IN REVIEW: The Best Comedies of the 2010s

During the month of December, I will be looking back at the decade that was the 2010s on TV. I will be sharing my favorite sitcoms, dramas, the best episodes, the best performances and the worst shows of the decade. To be eligible for this list, a show had to air the majority of its episodes in the 2010s. However, for the rankings and determination, all episodes were taken into account, including ones that may have aired before 2010. I will also preface that there are comedies that have aired this decade that I haven't watched yet so this is the best of what I have watched. To be fair, that preface is more true for dramas. There's not a ton of unwatched comedies sitting in my Netflix or Amazon watchlist. So here are my Top 10 comedies of the 2010s! Close Calls:  Master of None (Netflix) - An inconsistent but occasionally fascinating commentary on many life issues done so with innovative storytelling. The Good Place (NBC) - A show that aims high with a fascinating premis...

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...

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...
