On Tuesday night, just like Thursday night, another CBS veteran obliterated the competition. NCIS in its tenth season was up 1.8 million viewers and four tenths in the demo. The viewer total is the best in nearly two years. Two scripted shows on CBS are over 20 million viewers and soaring above the competition. At 9pm, NCIS: Los Angeles was down three tenths in viewers and the demo, showing much worse retention this week. Finally at 10pm, Vegas was up four tenths in viewers and even in the demo. The problem is that it was 2.3 demo points behind NCIS and aired just an hour later.

Over on FOX, every single show in the low rated comedy block has now gone below a 2.0. At 8pm, Raising Hope was down a tenth in viewers and the demo while Ben and Kate was down two tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo, tying a series low. At 9pm, New Girl was down a tenth in viewers and two tenths in the demo for a series low. This show has really tumbled this year though it still skews young. I do think it suffers from time shifted viewing more than most shows because such a huge percentage of its audience is certainly young adults. At 9:30pm, The Mindy Project was down a tenth in viewers and even in the demo. 

On NBC, two episodes of Betty White's Off Their Rockers were slightly down their respective episodes last week. At 9pm, Go On was up two tenths in viewers and the demo as it rebounded a little bit from last week's horrible tumble. At 9:30pm, The New Normal was up a tenth in viewers and the demo. Lastly, Parenthood was down three tenths in viewers ad even in the demo ahead of next week's season finale. Finally on ABC, Happy Endings was down six tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo while Don't Trust the B---- in Apartment 23 was down four tenths in viewers and even in the demo. At 10pm, the next-to-last episode of Private Practice was up a tenth in viewers and the demo. Will it be able to jump more for the series finale next week?

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...
