ABC's magical ratings for Once Upon a Time are showing no signs of slowing down. On Sunday night, the news was great again as the show was down just a tenth in viewers and even in the demo. Through four episodes, it has dropped a mere 1.5 million viewers and two tenths in the demo, which is awesome for any drama, particularly a high concept serial one. The show seems to also have a halo effect on the rest of the lineup. Earlier in the night, America's Funniest Home Videos was up seven tenths in viewers and two tenths in the demo for a season high. At 9pm, Desperate Housewives was up half a million viewers and two tenths in the demo while Pan Am was up four tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo. Pan Am has really leveled off but it's probably still too low.

Elsewhere, CBS was up or even in the demo across the board with its older-skewing Sunday night. At 7pm, 60 Minutes was down three tenths in viewers but up two tenths in the demo. At 8pm, The Amazing Race was up six tenths in viewers but even in the demo, kind of the opposite trend of 60 Minutes, which is odd. At 9pm, The Good Wife was up 1.1 million viewers yet even in the demo. This show is nothing if not consistent, it has had a 2.0 demo for four consecutive weeks. At 10pm, CSI: Miami rebounded some from last week's low as it was up 1.1 million viewers and two tenths in the demo.

Over on NBC, a Sunday night tilt between the Jets and Patriots was down a bit from last week's Steelers-Ravens game which is sort of surprising. FOX was powered by a football lead-in again this week. At 8pm, The Simpsons was down half a million viewers and three tenths in the demo. New cartoon Allen Gregory was down a tenth in viewers and the demo for a series low. This show shouldn't even really finish its run because it's bringing down the night. At 9pm, Family Guy was up two tenths in viewers and the demo. This show isn't the demo star it has been in recent years. At 9:30pm, American Dad! was even in viewers and down a tenth in the demo.

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...
