ABC was new on Sunday night from 7-9pm. At 7pm, America's Funniest Home Videos was down four tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo. Week two of the new (for ABC) reality show Secret Millionaire was down 1.3 million viewers and six tenths in the demo from its premiere last week. Despite the drop, the numbers were still very solid for ABC and it won the demo for a second week in a row. If it can hold around here, it will be a better option than Extreme Makeover: Home Edition in this slot.

CBS was all new and had solid numbers especially from 9-11pm. At 7pm, 60 Minutes was down 1.7 million viewers but even in the demo from last week. At 8pm, The Amazing Race was down four tenths in viewers but also even in the demo. It didn't get any viewers who may have sampled ABC or NBC last week back though. At 9pm, Undercover Boss was up seven tenths in viewers and three tenths in the demo. It hasn't hit a 3 in the demo for awhile so that was good news. Finally at 10pm, CSI: Miami was up 1.3 million viewers and four tenths in the demo from last week. The demo is the best since October as this on-the-bubble show seems to be gaining strength at the right time. It has made a solid transition from Monday to Sunday and probably deserves a renewal.

NBC was all new on Sunday night with its lineup that was very lackluster from 7-9pm. At 7pm, Dateline NBC was up four tenths in viewers but down three tenths in the demo from last week. Week two of new series America's Next Great Restaurant was down half a million viewers and two tenths in the demo from the premiere. While the drop isn't horrible, its premiere was terrible so there's not much to get excited about here. Things perked up at 9pm though with the second week of the new season of Celebrity Apprentice which was up two tenths in viewers and even in the demo from its season premiere last week. The demo is one of the best for any NBC show at this point.

FOX did not have much good news with a mix of repeat and new episodes in its animated lineup. After reruns of The Simpsons and American Dad!, a new episode of Simpsons was down seven tenths in viewers and three tenths in the demo for season lows. Last week had some premieres but there doesn't seem to be any sort of reason for the drop, which is troubling. More troubling was Bob's Burgers which fell eight tenths in viewers and two demo points for series lows. After a repeat of Family Guy, a new episode of The Cleveland Show was down two tenths in viewers but up two tenths in the demo. Despite the season low in viewers, the demo rise is good news especially with the other shows dropping.

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...

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...
