On Sunday night, the American Music Awards was strong as it was up slightly in viewers and even in the demo from last year. So far, it seems like award shows are holding steady this season. Over on CBS, there was an NFL overrun that powered the early part of the night as 60 Minutes was up 1.4 million viewers and eight tenths in the demo but down a lot from the last NFL overrun night. The Amazing Race followed and was down a tenth in viewers and up a tenth in the demo. At 9:30pm, The Good Wife was down four tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo for a series low in the demo, which is not good news. CSI: Miami closed the night down two tenths in viewers and the demo, though it did bleed into the 11pm hour.

Over on NBC, the NFL game between the Eagles and Giants was not as strong as recent weeks which is somewhat surprising since NFC East games usually do very well. Over on FOX, The Simpsons was down a rough 1.7 million viewers and a bad seven tenths in the demo. Though it didn't have the NFL lead-in, this is still a troubling drop. At 8:30pm, Allen Gregory hit another low as it was down three tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo. At 9pm, Family Guy reversed course as it was even in viewers and up a tenth in the demo while American Dad! was down a tenth in viewers and even 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...
