On Sunday night, ABC had good news for every show except its 10pm offering. At 7pm, America's Funniest Home Videos was up a strong 1.4 million viewers and four tenths in the demo as it may have benefited from Daylight Savings. At 8pm, Once Upon a Time was up three tenths in viewers and a tenths in the demo for its best performances since the season premiere. This is a good sign for the second year show. At 9pm, Revenge was down three tenths in viewers but even in the demo. The wheels came off at 10pm though as 666 Park Avenue was down six tenths in viewers and three tenths in the demo for a series low. ABC needs to do something else quickly in this time period because this show is in Pan Am levels now.

CBS had its NFL overrun schedule with this week which of course meant a big jump for 60 Minutes as it was up 5.1 million viewers and 1.7 demo points with the direct lead-in. At 8:30pm, The Amazing Race was up eight tenths in viewers and two tenths in the demo as it seems to be right in this range whether 60 Minutes has huge or small numbers. At 9:30pm, The Good Wife was up four tenths in viewers and down a tenth in the demo. Despite starting at 10:30pm, The Mentalist actually built from the lead-in and was even in the demo from last week though it was down 1.1 million viewers.  

NBC had a Sunday night game between the Cowboys and Falcons and it delivered the best demo for Sunday Night Football since the September 30 Giants-Eagles matchup. FOX aired its animated lineup for the first time since October 7 and every show was down big from its last airing. The Cleveland Show at 7:30pm actually outperformed both Bob's Burgers and American Dad! in the demo. Perhaps most concerning was the massive demo drop of nine tenths for Family Guy. This lineup has been really suffering and I think it's going to be more ugly after the NFL is over.

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...
