Sunday night had lots of season finales. On ABC, America's Funniest Home Videos started off the night up four tenths in viewers and down a tenth in the demo. At 8pm, the season finale of Once Upon a Time was down two tenths in viewers but up a tenth in the demo for its best number since March 17. Still, this show premiered this year with a 3.9 demo so it has fallen hard this season. At 9pm, a two hour season finale of Revenge was down two tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo. I think it's very surprising that this show is staying at 9pm next season because I don't see it rebounding. At 9pm, Celebrity Apprentice got pummeled by the competition as it was down six tenths in viewers and two tenths in the demo for a series low. The wheels have finally come off for this show which is why it's not coming back to Sundays at midseason next year (as of now).

On CBS, 60 Minutes was down four tenths in viewers but up three tenths in the demo. At 8pm, Survivor was down half a demo point for an all time low among its finales. It was right in line with where it has been all season though, it just didn't spike for the finale as much as it usually does. Maybe CBS should consider airing the finale in its regular Wednesday timeslot next year? FOX had its animated lineup including season finales for Bob's Burgers and American Dad!. Some cartoons were up while others were down. They all hovered around 4 million viewers and a 2 demo except for the cancelled The Cleveland Show. This lineup needs a shot in the arm but FOX is keeping it in tact for the fall at least.

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...
