9:00 Raising Hope

9:30 Enlisted
Viewers: 2.4 million, 18-49 demo: 0.7

Friday night had the series premiere of Enlisted and it bombed as expected. First on FOX though, Bones was even in viewers and down two tenths in the demo. At 9pm, Raising Hope was up six tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo from its last 9pm airing. Then Enlisted premiered and tied the just-cancelled The Assets for the lowest in-season premiere ever. So now three of the five new shows in 2014 have premiered to less than a 1.0 demo. That being said, the writing was on the wall for FOX with this show and its placement. They didn't even give it a preview on Tues or after the NFL or something like that so this is not surprising at all. I do wonder what FOX's expectation was/is for this show. Over on NBC, a Golden Globes special at 8pm was much lower than Dateline NBC usually is. Why does NBC preempt Dateline for these low specials? At 9pm, Grimm was down four tenths in viewers and two tenths in the demo as it had more competition and a lower lead-in. At 10pm, Dracula was down four tenths in viewers and two tenths in the demo for a series low. There are only two weeks left for this show.

Over on ABC, everything was up from its last airing in a pretty good Friday night. At 8pm, Last Man Standing was up nine tenths in viewers and three tenths in the demo for season highs. This is not a bad showing at all for Friday at 8pm especially considering what some ABC shows are getting during the week. At 8:30pm, The Neighbors was up eight tenths in viewers and two tenths in the demo for its best number since the season premiere. At 9pm, Shark Tank was up two tenths in viewers and a tenth the demo. It's one of ABC's stronger shows period right now even with its Friday night slot. At 10pm, 20/20 was up six tenths in viewers and two tenths in the demo, hitting a season high for a second week in a row. Not airing against Dateline NBC has been great for this veteran newsmagazine. Finally, CBS had rises as well. Hawaii Five-0 was up 1.1 million viewers and a good three tenths in the demo for its best demo since November 15 while Blue Bloods was up a strong 2.2 million viewers and three tenths in the demo.

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...
