On Friday night, NBC offered up the pilot to planned series Mockingbird Lane, a reboot of The Munsters. The special airing did better than NBC has done in the slot in quite awhile but I don't think it did enough to make NBC decide to pick it up as a series. I do wish networks would show "busted" pilots like this more often. The good news was that the better lead-in propped up Grimm as it was up 1.1 million viewers and a big half a demo point for its best Friday demo since the series premiere a year ago. This show needs an 8pm companion even if that's not Mockingbird Lane. On ABC, Shark Tank was down a bit from its series high last week as it dropped three tenths in viewers and two tenths in the demo. The show moves to 9pm next week to make room for Last Man Standing and Malibu Country. At 9pm was a 20/20 special with Katie Couric which did ok. A regular 20/20 followed with similar numbers to the special as it was up four tenths in viewers and even in the demo.

FOX had the season premiere of Kitchen Nightmares and it was way down from last year's season premiere. This used to be a viable Friday option for FOX but it got clobbered last night. Maybe viewers didn't know it was back? We'll see if it goes up in weeks to come. At 9pm, Fringe was even in viewers and down a tenth in the demo. Finally on CBS, CSI: NY was up six tenths in viewers and three tenths in the demo as it seems to be perking up at 9pm. Blue Bloods followed and was up a good eight tenths viewers and two tenths 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...
