It was black Tuesday for many newbies but none more so than ABC's brand new Tuesday lineup which saw huge drops from last week. It started with Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. which plunged 3.4 million viewers and 1.4 demo points from its huge series premiere last week. While a 3.3 demo is still great, a huge drop like this seems to signify that it is not done dropping and the entire night could unravel if it continues the trend. That is already starting to happen as the shows that followed all took big drops as well. The Goldbergs was down 2.8 million viewers and nine tenths in the demo while Trophy Wife had a worst drop percentage wise as it was down 2.4 million viewers and also nine tenths in the demo. These comedies are starting to look like the Go On and The New Normal of this year. At 10pm, Lucky 7 fell 1.8 million viewers and six tenths in the demo to a horrible 0.7 demo. This is the same demo that got Do No Harm cancelled after two weeks on NBC last season. This has to be the last we've seen of Lucky 7, right?

NBC had the best night of the four networks as The Voice was up a tenth in viewers and down two tenths in the demo while Chicago Fire was down two tenths in viewers and just a tenth in the demo. This lineup has been impressive so it'll be interesting to see how The Biggest Loser does when it returns to 8pm next week leading into The Voice. CBS had pretty good holds for its veteran drama lineup. At 8pm, NCIS was even in viewers and down just a tenth in the demo. It will benefit if Marvel continues to fall plus next week it won't have to face The Voice anymore. At 9pm, NCIS: Los Angeles was down 1.3 million viewers and three tenths in the demo. At 10pm, Person of Interest was even in viewers but down two tenths in the demo.

It was a rough night for FOX as none of its comedies managed four million viewers or a 2.0 demo. The 8pm hour is having real problems now as Dads was down three tenths in viewers and two tenths in the demo to a low 1.3. Brooklyn Nine-Nine had a worse drop as it was down six tenths in viewers and four tenths in the demo. At 9pm, New Girl was down a tenth in viewers and two tenths in the demo. It tied a series low from  last year which isn't a good sign for this season. At 9:30pm, The Mindy Project was actually even with last week. The good news is it didn't drop like the others and it beat the competing Trophy Wife. The bad news it is a low 1.5 demo.

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...
