On Sunday night, CBS had the fall edition finale of The Amazing Race. Up first for them though was 60 Minutes which was down big from last week's football-infused edition, but it did hit a season high among the weeks with no direct football lead-in. At 8pm, the 23rd finale of Race was down 1.1 million viewers and even in the demo. It hit a series low for a finale as this franchise has been showing its age this season. At 10pm, The Mentalist was up four tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo while starting an hour earlier. This was a season high for a show that's been having a small renaissance in recent weeks which is helping its case for renewal. The Panthers-Saints Sunday Night Football matchup was up from last week but not to the dizzying heights of a couple earlier contests. Despite being good teams, it's probably partly due to lesser market teams and the fact that it wasn't all that close.

Over on ABC, the full lineup was back for the first time in three weeks. At 7pm, America's Funniest Home Videos was up three tenths in viewers and the demo for a season high. At 8pm, Once Upon a Time recovered a bit from its last couple weeks of season lows. It was up three tenths in viewers and two tenths in the demo. At 9pm, Revenge was up two tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo. The good thing is it was off for two weeks and returned slightly up when breaks are often problematic for this show. At 10pm, Betrayal was down three tenths in viewers and two tenths in the demo for a series low. With a 0.7 demo, it shouldn't even be finishing its run. FOX's animated lineup was up across the board thanks to a strong NFL lead-in and a fully new lineup. It was a season high for The Simpsons and Family Guy.

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...
