The CMA Awards returned to Wednesday after a year on Thursday and the results were positive as it was up big from last year's 13.7 million viewers and 3.8 demo. It was almost exactly even with the 2011 award ceremony. On CBS, Survivor was up three tenths in viewers and two tenths in the demo. The news was not as good at 9pm though. Criminal Minds was down nine tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo for a series low. This show is starting to show its age as its been down pretty significantly year-to-year. With their other aging dramas showing their age too, CBS can't really afford to have Minds slipping. It has been in the same slot for its entire run going back to 2005. At 10pm, CSI was down four tenths in viewers but up a tenth in the demo.

On NBC, Revolution was up three tenths in viewers and even in the demo for a fourth straight week. I'll say it again, the fact that the wheels haven't completely come off is a win for this show. At 9pm, Law & Order: SVU was up two tenths in viewers and even in the demo from its last new airing two weeks ago. A Dateline NBC special at 10pm was an improvement over the cancelled Ironside. The worst news came for FOX where The X Factor was down a whopping 2.8 million viewers and eight tenths in the demo from its last Wednesday airing to a pitiful 1.4 demo. Some of this could be due to the CMA Awards and the time off, but there's no excuse for this bad a performance. FOX really needs to cut its losses with this show and not bring it back next fall.

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...
