FOX

Monday night saw growth from CBS but nothing spectacular for its once dominating lineup. At 8pm, How I Met Your Mother was up a tenth in both viewers and the demo while Partners grew for the first time as it was up four tenths in viewers and two tenths in the demo. That surely buys it some time but I don't think it's a long term answer by any means. At 9pm, 2 Broke Girls was down a tenth in viewers and even in the demo while Mike & Molly was up four tenths in viewers and two tenths in the demo, showing good retention. At 10pm, Hawaii Five-0 was up three tenths in viewers and two tenths in the demo for a season high in the demo. Of course a 2.1 demo would be super low last year but it's a different ballgame this season. FOX had baseball again but it was weaker than Sunday night.

NBC had another winning night as The Voice was up a tenth in viewers and even in the demo for a dominating 4.8. But the best news came at 10pm where Revolution grew for the first time as it was up six tenths in viewers and three tenths in the demo despite its lead-in being steady. This is a tremendous showing for a show that is NBC's first real scripted hit in years. Yes, the lead-in is one of the best on TV but all you have to do is look at how far Smash had fallen by this point. Revolution has not shown signs of slowing down yet for a network that desperately needs a hit. On ABC, Dancing with the Stars was even in viewers and down a tenth in the demo while Castle was up three tenths in viewers but down two tenths in the demo as it fell to third in the latter category. Revolution is really pounding Castle and Hawaii this year.

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...

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...
