ABC was all new but very low rated on Friday night. At 8pm, Supernanny was down six tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo. The viewer total is a season low as this show is more than ready to end. At 9pm, Primetime: What Would You Do? was down 1.2 million viewers and two tenths in the demo for season lows. This show had some promise on Friday nights last year but has really fallen this year. Finally at 10pm, 20/20 was down eight tenths in viewers and two tenths in the demo. ABC needs to do something else with Friday next season. CBS started things off with a new episode of The Defenders which was down a tenth in viewers but up three tenths in the demo for its best demo numbers on a Friday yet but it still won't be enough for a renewal. Repeats of CSI: NY and Blue Bloods were solid for Friday repeat numbers.

NBC was all new. At 8pm, Who Do You Think You Are? was down a tenth in viewers but even in the demo as it didn't benefit from lower numbers on ABC and FOX. At 9pm, a Charlie Sheen-fueled Dateline NBC was up a million viewers and four tenths in the demo. The demo is a season high and Dateline has really benefited with a stronger lead-in. FOX preempted Kitchen Nightmares and Fringe for a low-rated airing on the NAACP Image Awards. After weeks of demo wins on Friday, FOX dropped to last for the night among the big four.

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...
