On Thanksgiving night, the networks all altered their normal schedules to mixed results. ABC had decent results for the second airing of A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving and decent enough numbers from a special repeat airing of a Modern Family episode from last year but they were barely on the map with a Beyonce special which was well below last year's Beyonce special (5.2 million viewers/1.7 demo). CBS had good results from a night of repeats - particularly of note is The Big Bang Theory's numbers at 9pm, for a repeat and not in its usual time. Will CBS find a way to move Big Bang here next season? CBS seems to always get acceptable numbers for its repeats and new shows $#*! My Dad Says and Mike & Molly seemed to be following that trend.

NBC had a low-rated night with disappointing numbers for a Taylor Swift special, which should have been higher given how popular Swift has been in recent weeks with her new album. An NBC People of the Year special was equally low and The Apprentice dipped to season lows in a disastrous season as it was down three tenths in viewers and three tenths in the demo. FOX had a bit of NFL overrun in the 8pm half-hour which will inflate its numbers but its airing of The Simpsons Movie did not generate much interest, though it was tied for best in the demo for the night, excluding NFL.

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

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...

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...
