On Tuesday night, NBC got things started on a good night with The Voice. It was down six tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo but still dominant. However, the news got much worse at 9pm when Ready for Love was basically DOA with a paltry 3.7 million viewers and 1.5 demo that got worse as the two hours went on. I'm not really sure why NBC was so high on this show because it seemed to not register much at all with viewers. It was a slightly better option than the comedies/Smash in the last two weeks but that's not saying much and it's sure to drop next week. It would have been better off staying on its originally planned Sunday slot. And once again, why didn't NBC use Tuesday to air Hannibal? I really don't get it. 

On CBS, NCIS was down 1.4 million viewers and a big half a demo point. It's 2.7 demo was its lowest since 2004... yes, 2004! And it came out of nowhere which made it all the more surprising. I'm not really sure how to explain this sudden drop. At 9pm, NCIS: Los Angeles was down four tenths in viewers and up a tenth in the demo. This is also very surprising with the lead-in drop and it's the first time that Los Angeles has tied the original in the demo. It was an odd night in general for these two shows but it makes me feel even more sure that CBS should move Los Angeles to 10pm or another night next season. Finally at 10pm, Golden Boy was up a tenth in viewers and two tenths in the demo. 


Over on ABC, Splash was down another six tenths in viewers and two tenths in the demo for another series low. At 9pm, the results edition of Dancing with the Stars fell 1.9 million viewers and three tenths in the demo for a season low. At 10pm, Body of Proof was up four tenths in viewers and even in the demo despite the lead-in being down. I still don't think this show will get renewed but stranger things have happened. On FOX, Hell's Kitchen was down four tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo. New Girl was down a tenth in viewers and even in the demo and The Mindy Project was up two tenths in viewers and the demo from last week when it followed a repeat.

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...

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...

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...
