On Tuesday night, ABC had the return of Body of Proof but the return was not positive. First off, The Taste was up two tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo from last week. At 9pm, a special surrounding The Bachelor once again proved that The Bachelor is sizzling this season as it was well above normal levels for ABC at this time. At 10pm though, despite the decent lead-in, Body of Proof returned to tie its series low with a 1.2 demo. This probably means that season three will be the final one for this show but it did cheat death last year so who knows. 

Over on CBS, NCIS was down seven tenths in viewers and two tenths in the demo and NCIS: Los Angeles was down four tenths in viewers and a surprising four tenths in the demo. I'm not exactly sure what happened at 9pm. At 10pm, Vegas was down eight tenths in viewers and even in the demo. Golden Boy premieres with a Tuesday preview next week at 10pm. It will be interesting to see how it does compared to Vegas. FOX was down across the board. At 8pm, Raising Hope was down two tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo. After a repeat lead-in, New Girl was down half a million viewers and four tenths in the demo. This show is still pretty lead-in dependent despite being an anchor. At 9:30pm, The Mindy Project was down half a million viewers and three tenths in the demo. I think this show is still majorly on the bubble for next year.

Finally in basement NBC, things were pretty bleak. At 8pm, two episodes of Betty White's Off Their Rockers were both down from their last airing. At 9pm, the comedies continued to explore new lows as Go On was down seven tenths in viewers and two tenths in the demo and The New Normal was down three tenths in viewers and two tenths in the demo. Both were new series lows. How low can they possibly go before The Voice returns? At 10pm, Smash was down a rough 1.2 million viewers and three tenths in the demo from its already low premiere two weeks ago. Isn't it sad that a 0.9 demo for NBC probably means cancellation but a 1.1 demo could mean a possible renewal?

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...
