On Sunday night, all the networks were mostly new. On ABC, America's Funniest Home Videos was down three tenths in viewers and four tenths in the demo. This show could definitely be a victim of Daylight Savings. At 8pm, Once Upon a Time was up two tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo but it's still a shell of what it was last season or earlier this season. The best news for ABC came from Revenge which rebounded again as it was up a million viewers and two tenths in the demo. Just two episodes ago, it got a 1.4 demo against the Grammys so it seems to be headed back in the right direction. The worst news came at 10pm where Red Widow fell on its face, done 1.8 million viewers and four tenths in the demo to a pitiful 1.1 demo. Will it even last the full season? Both 8pm Thursday and 10pm Sunday are big trouble for ABC so why do they keep putting mediocre new shows there?

Over on NBC, week two of Celebrity Apprentice was down two tenths in viewers but up a tenth in the demo. The rise is a good sign but it's still low. On CBS, 60 Minutes started things off down four tenths in viewers and even in the demo. The Amazing Race followed and was up a tenth in viewers but down a tenth in the demo. It is very consistent for CBS. At 9pm, The Good Wife was up two tenths in viewers but down a tenth in the demo. It sounds like this show is going to get a renewal but will CBS keep it here? At 10pm, The Mentalist was up three tenths in viewers and two tenths in the demo which is an ok rebound but these numbers are too low for CBS on Sunday night. FOX's animated shows were new but slightly out of order. It's worth noting that The Cleveland Show did much better at 8:30pm instead of 7:30pm but Bob's Burgers wasn't any stronger at 9:30pm than 8:30pm.

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...
