Sunday night saw some finales including a two hour finale of The Amazing Race on CBS. First up though 60 Minutes was down a million viewers and three tenths in the demo. The 22nd edition of Race ended down two tenths in viewers and even in the demo with last week. It was down two tenths in the demo from the fall finale but it had a very stable season overall. I still think CBS might want to consider having Survivor and The Amazing Race share timeslots. However, I don't think this will happen. At 10pm, the season finale of The Mentalist was up half a million viewers and a tenth in the demo. Is the show Friday bound? On NBC, Celebrity Apprentice was down three tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo.

On ABC, America's Funniest Home Videos was down six tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo to start off the night. At 8pm, Once Upon a Time finally broke its slumping streak as it was up three tenths in viewers and two tenths in the demo. It's still a shell of what it was in the fall though. At 9pm, Revenge was up two tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo. The season, and surely series, finale of Red Widow ended the night up two tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo as well. NASCAR delayed FOX's lineup to 8:30pm and everything was down except for American Dad!

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...
