On Friday night, ABC started strong as Shark Tank was up a nice seven tenths in viewers and three tenths in the demo for a season high in the demo. This is a strong Friday player for ABC as it tied Blue Bloods for top demo draw of the night. At 9pm, Primetime: What Would You Do? was down half a million viewers for a season low but up a tenth in the demo. ABC could probably do better in this timeslot as What Would You Do? seems tired. Finally, 20/20 closed out the night down four tenths in viewers and three tenths in the demo.

Over on CBS, A Gifted Man started off the night up four tenths in viewers and even in the demo. It moves to 9pm next week, will it pick up in the ratings and make things interesting? At 9pm, CSI: NY was up a tenth in viewers and the demo as it heads to a hiatus until the end of March. If CBS slips and its missed, its chances for coming back go up. Finally at 10pm, Blue Bloods was up four tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo.

NBC started with Who Do You Think You Are? which was down five tenths in viewers but up a tenth in the demo from last week's season premiere. At 9pm, Grimm rebounded a bit from last week's low as it was up half a million viewers and two tenths in the demo. Why did NBC choose to encore the already hot The Voice on Thursday night instead of originally planned encore of this show which is doing ok for a Friday but could use extra exposure? Finally at 10pm, Dateline NBC was up half a million viewers and four tenths in the demo for its best demo since December 9. Finally on FOX, Kitchen Nightmares was down two tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo while Fringe was down a tenth in viewers and 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...
