CBS Mondays are just not slowing down this fall as every show was up or even this week (last week all but one show was up or even). At 8pm, How I Met Your Mother was even in viewers and up a tenth in the demo. New freshman hit 2 Broke Girls was down three tenths in viewers but up a tenth in the demo. This show is the real deal. Some think it should move to the 9:30 slot or with The Big Bang Theory on Thursday but why now? CBS finally has a hit, a big hit, in a slot that has been troublesome. At 9pm, Two and a Half Men grew for the first time this season as it was up two tenths in viewers and the demo. If this is where it is leveling off, it is up huge year-to-year. At 9:30pm, Mike & Molly was up a strong seven tenths in viewers and three tenths in the demo. To close out the night, Hawaii Five-0 was down four tenths in viewers and even in the demo. It doesn't do as well as the comedies but it has easily been winning the demo this week.

ABC started off with Dancing with the Stars which has settled into its audience after some early drops. It was down six tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo from last week. At 10pm, Castle was down four tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo. NBC wasn't even on the same field as ABC, CBS, and FOX as The Sing Off was down a tenth in viewers and the demo, hitting a series low in viewers. New newsmagazine Rock Center with Brian Williams launches next Monday at 10pm for NBC. FOX had good numbers from the World Series, which has been very steady from game to game.

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...
