ABC was in repeats on the final Sunday in November. America's Funniest Home Videos were hardly affected at all and was in fact up in the demo from last week. However, dramas Desperate Housewives and Brothers & Sisters do not repeat well and were very low. CBS had no football overrun which of course negatively impacted 60 Minutes which was down a huge 5.6 million viewers and 1.8 in the demo. These numbers are probably closer to what it will get when football ends. The Amazing Race was up half a million viewers and two tenths in the demo as it nears its fall edition finale. Finally, the Hallmark Hall of Fame movie November Christmas was a success in total viewers but low in the demo as these movies typically are. Still, it was a good showing overall.

NBC had another successful night of football though the Chargers-Colts matchup was down a hefty 4.1 million viewers and 1.7 in the demo from last week's Giants-Eagles matchup. FOX had NFL overrun which was strong as always and helped the night - particularly The Simpsons, which was up a whopping 2.8 million viewers and 1.2 in the demo, hitting season highs in both categories. What a great showing for a show that is over 20 years old! The Cleveland Show benefited from the better lead-in and was up 2.3 million viewers and a full demo point, also hitting season highs. Family Guy however was a repeat and did not experience a bump though it came close to last week's first-run numbers. Finally, American Dad! moved in the right direction as it was up 1.2 million viewers and six tenths 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...
