On Tuesday night, ABC did not have great news with its new lineup. At 8pm, Last Man Standing was down three tenths in viewers and the demo, hitting a series low in the demo. With this show being all by itself and daylight savings coming, the show could easily drop in the 1s in the spring though I still expect it will get renewed. The news was worse at 8:30pm where Work It dropped 1.3 million viewers and a big half a demo point in its second airing. This show is as good as cancelled, it's just a matter of when. At 9pm, Celebrity Wife Swap probably had the best showing of the night, all things considered, as it was down eight tenths in viewers but even in the demo. The demo is not too bad here for what is essentially filler. At 10pm, Body of Proof was down two tenths in viewers and up a tenth in the demo. The small rise is a positive direction but it's not enough right now.

CBS started their night on a good note as NCIS was up 1.3 million viewers and even in the demo. The viewer total is a season high for the hit veteran drama. It is doing as strong as ever nine years in which is very impressive. At 9pm, NCIS: Los Angeles was down half a million viewers and two tenths in the demo. The news was not as good at 10pm though where Unforgettable tumbled seven tenths in viewers and a big half a demo point after last week's numbers being the best since the series premiere. Was last week an aberration? I still think CBS can do better in this slot.

Over on NBC, the news was positive at 8pm where The Biggest Loser was up a tenth in viewers and even in the demo. Though last week's premiere was low, the good news is that it did not go anywhere this week in the ratings with the competition being basically the same. At 10pm, Parenthood was down two tenths in viewers and even in the demo. The viewer is a series low and NBC was probably hoping this show would rebound some especially with Unforgettable down but that didn't happen. NBC will have an interesting choice to make with this show at the end of the season.

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...

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...
