Sunday night had a nice uptick for the American Music Awards. It was well above the 2012 numbers of 9.5 million/3.4 demo. It was also up slightly from the 4.3 demo in 2011 and 2010. This is good because last year's numbers were a little bit troubling and it bodes well for award shows to come. The hyped Manning/Brady showdown on Sunday Night Football did very well but actually slightly below last week as the AMAs may have had something to do with that. FOX had an NFL overrun to help their night. The Simpsons was up a big 1.2 demo points from last week's 9pm episode. Bob's Burgers was up four tenths in the demo from its last airing but way down from its lead-in. Family Guy was even from last week while American Dad! was up three tenths in the demo from its last airing.

CBS was left in the dust with nothing topping a 1.6 demo. At 7pm, 60 Minutes was down six tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo. At 8pm, The Amazing Race was down nine tenths in viewers and a rough four tenths in the demo for a new series low. There must be a fair amount of crossover between Amazing Race and AMA fans. At 9pm, The Good Wife was even in viewers but down a tenth in the demo. The hyped Red John episode of The Mentalist was up 1.2 million viewers and two tenths in the demo for its best numbers since the season premiere. Still if a 1.6 demo is all it can muster for a big episode, that's a sign that viewers are pretty checked out with this show.

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...
