It was a typical Friday night with Shark Tank on top in the demo and Blue Bloods on top of total viewers. CBS was off to a good start with Undercover Boss, which was up a big 1.3 million viewers and half a demo point for a season high. I'm not sure what explains this big rally but it's a nice showing. At 9pm, Hawaii Five-0 didn't benefit from the lead-in as it was down four tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo for a series low. At 10pm, Blue Bloods was even in viewers and down two tenths in the demo. With the total viewer numbers and problems on other nights for CBS dramas, a 1.3 demo is nothing to worry about for this show. Over on FOX, Masterchef Junior was up a tenth in viewers but down the same in the demo.

On ABC, the comedies were each up a tenth in the demo for their Halloween episodes. Last Man Standing was up two tenths in viewers while The Neighbors was up the same. Will The Neighbors be pulled soon? ABC has to do some thinking about its new comedies and this show. At 9pm, Shark Tank was up two tenths in viewers and three tenths in the demo while 20/20 closed out the night down two tenths in viewers and up a tenth in the demo. On NBC, Dateline NBC was up four tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo. It will move to 8pm next week with the season premiere of Grimm at 9pm and the series premiere of Dracula at 10pm.

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...
