Monday night had the return of Mike & Molly to the CBS lineup. But first at 8pm, How I Met Your Mother had a big jump of nine tenths in viewers and four tenths in the demo for its best numbers since the season premiere. I'm not really sure what explains this huge jump but it's a great showing. At 8:30pm, 2 Broke Girls was up four tenths in viewers but down a tenth in the demo. Considering how much its lead-in was up, this is a disappointing performance. Season four of Mike & Molly began at its new 9pm time and the results were adequate enough. At first glance, it seems like it might be a better anchor than 2 Broke Girls was. At 9:30pm, Mom was up eight tenths in viewers but down a tenth in the demo, tying a series low. This is also a disappointing performance as it seems like Mike & Molly is a better companion. At 10pm, Hostages was down a tenth in viewers and the demo for a series low. This show is just riding it out at this point. 

On NBC, The Voice was down 1.4 million viewers and seven tenths in the demo in a very disappointing showing for its first live show. At 10pm, The Blacklist was down two tenths in viewers and the demo for a series low. While it dipped below a 3 demo for the first, it had its best retention yet out of The Voice so that's worth noting. Over on ABC, Dancing with the Stars was up four tenths in viewers but down a tenth in the demo. At 10pm, Castle was up two tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo. FOX started out with Bones  down six tenths in viewers and two tenths int he demo. It has one more Monday week before it moves to Friday. At 9pm, Sleepy Hollow was new for the first time in three weeks but it was down half a million viewers and two tenths in the demo for a series low. This show seems to be following a very similar path as The Following.

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...
