ABC has some big problems on Sunday night. At 7pm, America's Funniest Home Videos was steady as always as it was up two tenths in viewers and even in the demo. At 8pm, Extreme Makeover: Home Edition was up two tenths in viewers but down a tenth in the demo. How will it fare when it moves to Fridays? My guess is not too much worse in total viewers but lower in the demo. At 9pm, Desperate Housewives was down six tenths in viewers and two tenths in the demo. The viewer total is a series low and the demo number is nearing that number. Looks like this show may not peak as its finale near. Finally, ABC has trouble at 10pm where Pan Am was down another 1.4 million viewers and seven tenths in the demo. In two weeks, it has dropped a huge 4.7 million viewers and 1.2 demo points - the worst for any new show. After a promising start, this period drama may be grounded soon.

CBS had football overrun for a second week in a row but it did not help the rest of the night as much. At 7:35pm, 60 Minutes was down 3.8 million viewers and three tenths in the demo from last week's episode, which started at 7:23pm. It was followed by The Amazing Race, which was down 1.3 million viewers and four tenths in the demo, somewhat of a rough drop. Next, The Good Wife was down eight tenths in viewers and just a tenth in the demo. It's really not doing any worse on Sunday than it did on Tuesday. Finally at 10pm, CSI: Miami was down just a tenth in viewers but two tenths in the demo. NBC aired a game between the Packers and Falcons, which was up nicely from last week's Jets-Ravens contest. FOX's baseball game was rained out and it filled the night with low-rated repeats.

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...
