It was a pretty good night all around for the broadcast networks on Wednesday night. Because of Election Day,  NBC brought The Voice over to Wednesday. While it wasn't as strong as usual Monday and Tuesday ratings, it still did very well and easily outperformed The X Factor. This show is a beast wherever its slotted. NBC wisely used the lead-in to promote Chicago Fire which rose 1.4 million viewers and six tenths in the demo for a series high. We'll see next week if the extra exposure will last but it did enough to earn a full season renewal today from NBC.

ABC's entire lineup was up from their last airing. At 8pm, The Middle was up two tenths in viewers and the demo from its last airing two weeks ago for its best showing since the season premiere. At 8:30pm, The Neighbors was up 1.1 million viewers and two tenths in the demo from last week's Halloween airing, delivering its best demo since the series premiere. At 9pm, Modern Family was up a big 1.8 million viewers and six tenths in the demo from last week's big drop. With The Big Bang Theory airing against The Voice on Thursday, it might be able to be the top demo of the week. At 9:30pm, Suburgatory was up 1.3 million viewers and half a demo point for a season high in the demo. Even Nashville was able to stop the bleeding as it was up four tenths in viewers and two tenths in the demo. ABC has to be happy with last night's numbers across the board and this was coming against a special airing of The Voice. 

Over on CBS, Survivor was up five tenths in viewers and three tenths in the demo from  last week's Halloween-impacted performance. At 9pm, Criminal Minds was up a tenth in viewers and the demo as it seems to be steady no matter what else is going on. At 10pm, CSI was one of only two shows to drop week-to-week as it was down six tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo. FOX's The X Factor was the other show to drop as it was down six tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo. Airing against The Voice, its clear that this show is not in the same league ratings-wise. It helps FOX with the bottom line but these numbers are disappointing.

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...
