On Thursday night, ABC had their new trio of dramas but it looks like one of them won't be around for long as Zero Hour fell a million viewers and three tenths in the demo from its already low premiere last week. The latest Thursday 8pm bomb for ABC may not even last as long as Last Resort did. At 9pm, Grey's Anatomy was up two tenths in viewers and a good three tenths in the demo. At 10pm, Scandal was down three tenths in viewers and even in the demo. Over on FOX, a two hour American Idol was up nine tenths in viewers and two tenths in the demo from last week's one hour episode.

On CBS, The Big Bang Theory was down three tenths in viewers but up a tenth in the demo. This show is so far ahead every other show on TV in the demo. At 8:30pm, Two and a Half Men was also down three tenths in viewers and up a tenth in the demo. At 9pm, Person of Interest was down seven tenths in viewers and two tenths in the demo as it went back to losing to Grey's Anatomy in the demo. At 10pm, Elementary was up two tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo. It has been quietly inching back up in the demo and closing the gap a little bit with Scandal. 
 
NBC was a mess as Community was up three tenths in viewers but down a tenth in the demo to a terrible 1.1. Two episodes of Parks and Recreation including the hyped wedding episode disappointed as they were down a tenth in the demo from last week. Yet a 1.4 demo is the highest rating any NBC sitcom has gotten this week. At 9:30pm, 1600 Penn was down three tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo from its last airing to a new series low. And they are really thinking about adding the promising Hannibal to this night?

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...
