On Monday night, ABC had the performance finale of Dancing with the Stars. It was up eight tenths in viewers and two tenths in the demo but it wasn't even the best result this season and it was down half a demo point from last year's Monday finale. This show is still a decent performer, especially in total viewers, but it continues to be on the decline. At 10pm, Castle was up half a million viewers and two tenths in the demo. Over on NBC, The Voice was up a million viewers but down a tenth in the demo from last week's episode, which aired from 9-11pm. At 10pm, The Blacklist did just fine with a week off as it was up three tenths in viewers and even in the demo. It continues to have better and better retention out of The Voice and is really starting to seem like more of a standalone hit than Smash or Revolution. The question is, when will NBC give that a try? Probably not until next season at the earliest.

Over on CBS, How I Met Your Mother started things off down half a million viewers and two tenths in the demo for a season low. It dipped below a 3 demo for the first time this season. At 8:30pm, 2 Broke Girls was down a tenth in viewers but even in the demo. It had its best retention out of Mother yet and actually beat that show in viewers. The return to 8:30pm has been kind to 2 Broke Girls so far. At 9pm, Mike & Molly was up four tenths in viewers and two tenths in the demo for its best numbers since the season premiere a few weeks ago. The biggest surprise came at 9:30pm where Mom was up six tenths in viewers and an impressive four tenths in the demo for its best numbers in over a month. This is the second time Mom has randomly popped up in the ratings but it's a good sign for the freshman show which was steadily declining. At 10pm, Hostages was up 1.1 million viewers and a tenth in the demo.

FOX arguably had the worst night of the broadcast nets. At 8pm, the second Monday airing of Almost Human was down seven tenths in viewers and four tenths in the demo. This is a little more steep than it should have been considering it was the second episode last Monday, not the pilot which aired on a Sunday. A 1.9 demo ties the lowest number Bones got in this slot this season. It would maybe be OK if it was done dropping but something tells me it's not. The biggest problem is it seems to be negatively affecting Sleepy Hollow as that show was down half a million viewers and three tenths in the demo for a series low? Will FOX admit the Bones move was a mistake and bring it back to Mondays before Sleepy Hollow's season ends.

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...

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...
