It was a mixed bag for shows on Thursday night as some were up and some were down. On CBS, The Big Bang Theory started off down three tenths in viewers and two tenths in the demo from its series high two weeks ago. It's still in its own league right now. At 8:30pm, Two and a Half Men was down two tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo. Not a bad drop when a co-star is urging fans not to watch the show. At 9pm, Person of Interest was down two tenths in viewers and the demo while Elementary closed out the night down three tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo. 

ABC started off with the cancelled Last Resort which was down half a million viewers and two tenths in the demo for a series low. Grey's Anatomy was up two tenths in viewers but down a tenth in the demo. At 10pm, Scandal was up six tenths in viewers and two tenths in the demo for a season high. Once again, it went up when Grey's went down in the demo (and sometimes the reverse happens). It also managed to tie Elementary in the demo for the first time and skewed much younger. On FOX, The X Factor was down seven tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo from last week when it followed FOX's Thanksgiving game. However, Glee was up a big eight tenths in viewers and seven tenths in the demo from its Thanksgiving night broadcast.

NBC had a terrible night with everything below a 2 demo. At 8pm, 30 Rock was up three tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo but that was the only show to go up. At 8:30pm, Up All Night was down a tenth in viewers and the demo. The Office was down three tenths in viewers and two tenths in the demo for series lows as this show is limping along during its final season. At 9:30pm, Parks and Recreation was down half a million viewers and three tenths in the demo for a series low. With 30 Rock and The Office ending and Community and Up All Night on real shaky ground, what will become of this show? It seems the most likely of any to get another season but not with numbers like this. It's not doing itself any favors. At 10pm, Rock Center with Brian Williams was down half a million 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

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...
