CANCELLATION ALERT: We Are Men

Another new show has bit the dust after just two episodes and its the CBS Monday comedy We Are Men joining Lucky 7 on the cancellation heap. The show premiered to a weak 2.0 demo on the second Monday of the season. It only fell two tenths to a 1.8 demo this week but the writing was on the wall for such a critically panned show. It also seems to be an early casualty because CBS is making some big moves on Monday nights, which have been falling apart.

CBS is also pulling the plug on the "2 Broke Girls at a 9pm anchor" experiment after just over a year. This is actually bigger news in some ways because it shows that CBS is finally seeing the writing on the wall with this show. It is not CBS's next The Big Bang Theory by any means. It will move to 8:30pm. The 9pm slot will be The Big Bang Theory repeats for three weeks, which should do pretty well as Big Bang repeats usually do. They actually should help newbie Mom at 9:30pm as well. On November 4, Mike & Molly will get a chance to be the 9pm anchor when it begins its fourth season. I'm not sure Mike & Molly will be a better anchor than Girls but I don't think it'll be worse and it could be more compatible with Mom. For now, weak 10pm drama Hostages is staying put but after a 1.2 demo this week, I think we could be seeing more changes to CBS Monday soon.

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...
