NBC returned to relevancy on Monday night in a big way thanks to the return of The Voice, which premiered to stellar numbers. It's 4.8 demo was above the fall premiere number and tied the high it hit on several Mondays during the fall. Perhaps more interesting was the return of Revolution after a four month break. It had a big drop at the half hour but still posted a strong 2.6 demo that easily won the hour. The 2.6 demo ties a series low it hit twice in the fall before the fall finale so we'll see where things go from here but a 2.6 demo for a scripted show is NBC's best since the fall finale of Revolution... that just shows how rough a winter it's been. 


Over on ABC, Dancing with the Stars took a huge hit from the competition from NBC as it was down 2.6 Castle held up better as it was down seven tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo. Considering how far its lead-in fell, this is a good performance. On FOX, Bones was down six tenths in viewers and two tenths in the demo, tying a season low. The Following was down six tenths in viewers and two tenths in the demo for a series low as FOX's dramas had trouble with more competition.
million viewers and eight tenths in the demo from its season premiere last week. It is now more where it was in the fall which appears to be the new normal for this show. I still think it should move to Tuesdays with the results show on ABC's troubled Thursday 8pm slot. At 10pm,

Finally on CBS, How I Met Your Mother was down four tenths in viewers and three tenths in the demo for a season low. It could be rough sailing the rest of the year for this show with Daylight Savings and the competing reality series. At 8:30pm, Rules of Engagement was down half a million viewers and just a tenth in the demo. This show continues to defy CBS's dismissing of it. At 9pm, 2 Broke Girls was up two tenths in viewers and the demo despite tougher competition. This is the first good showing from this show in awhile. At 9:30pm, Mike & Molly was up six tenths in viewers and two tenths in the demo, topping the night in total viewers for CBS. At 10pm, Hawaii Five-0 was down four tenths in viewers and even in the demo. All three 10pm shows were above a 2 demo, which hasn't happened in awhile.

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...
