On Monday night, CBS had its revamped lineup for the first time and the results were mostly positive. At 8pm, How I Met Your Mother was up half a million viewers and a tenth in the demo. 2 Broke Girls moved back to its old slot of 8:30pm and it was up seven tenths in viewers and three tenths in the demo. More importantly, it was a huge upgrade in the timeslot over the 1.8 demo the cancelled We Are Men got last week. At 9pm, a repeat of The Big Bang Theory was serviceable but not as strong as it sometimes is. At 9:30pm, Mom was up half a million viewers but down a tenth in the demo. Its lead-in was down a tenth too but this show just seems to skew older which means it might be a good companion for Mike & Molly when that show arrives at 9pm on November 4. At 10pm, Hostages was dead even with last week. The only question now is whether CBS will ride out this show for its full 15 episode order.

Over on FOX, Bones was even in viewers and down a tenth in the demo for its last Monday airing. It will head to Fridays in November after baseball. At 9pm, Sleepy Hollow was down four tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo. It will now take two weeks off for baseball and return on November 4 airing after the series premiere of new sci-fi drama Almost Human. The million dollar question now is whether baseball will dull the momentum of Hollow, which has been a huge early season success for FOX. Baseball has been a problem for other fast FOX starters so time will tell. It will have to recover from a couple weeks off and having a new lead-in so we'll see what it's made of.

On NBC, The Voice was down seven tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo as it didn't perk up for the battle rounds like it has before. At 10pm, The Blacklist was down three tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo. It is leveling out right now at a very high level. Its worth noting though that Revolution was at a 3.3 demo a year ago (out of a slightly stronger The Voice). Finally on ABC both shows were up which was a positive. Dancing with the Stars was even in viewers and up a tenth in the demo. At 10pm, Castle was up six tenths in viewers and a good three tenths in the demo. It beat The Blacklist in total viewers for the first time but was still well behind in the 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...

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...
