CBS Monday just continues to deliver unbelievable ratings as every show was up this week yet again. At 8pm, How I Met Your Mother was up a tenth in viewers and two tenths in the demo, posting its best demo rating since the season premiere. It is shocking how well this show is performing year-to-year. At 8:30pm, 2 Broke Girls continued to cement its breakout hit status as it was up four tenths in viewers and two tenths in the demo for its best performance yet at 8:30pm. Everyone is talking about CBS splitting this night up, but why? Save it for next year because 8:30pm hasn't been this strong in years. At 9pm, Two and a Half Men was up a tenth in viewers and two tenths in the demo while Mike & Molly was up three tenths in viewers and two tenths in the demo for its best performance since the season premiere. At 10pm, Hawaii Five-0 was up 1.4 million viewers and two tenths in the demo. The viewer total is the best since the season premiere. CBS Monday is just rocking it from top to bottom.

Meanwhile on ABC, Dancing with the Stars was down two tenths in viewers and the demo from last week ahead of next week's finale. At 10pm, a special 20/20 that had the first interview with Gabby Giffords since she was shot last January did well, particularly in total viewers as expected. FOX started things off with Terra Nova, which was down eight tenths in viewers and three tenths in the demo. Every time the show looks like it might be doing well enough to come back, it has a troubling drop. At 9pm, House was down a million viewers and three tenths in the demo, hitting a series low in total viewers. It's time for FOX to say goodbye to this show after this season. It's starting to collapse hard in the ratings after a couple years on the decline.

NBC continued to be off the map. The Sing Off was down a tenth in viewers and two tenths in the demo for a series low. This show has completely tanked in its first non-December run. At 10pm, Rock Center with Brian Williams was up four tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo. It could have been higher especially since they had Bob Costas interviewing disgraced Penn State assistant coach Jerry Sandusky. Rock Center will move to Wednesdays at 9pm in 2012 while NBC is banking big on The Voice/Smash reigniting this night starting in February.

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...
