Tuesday night had CBS on top with its drama lineup. At 8pm, NCIS was down 1.1 million viewers but even in the demo. Hitting a 3 demo is not very common for any shows any more so this continues to be very impressive. At 9pm, NCIS: Los Angeles was up three tenths in viewers and even in the demo with its last airing in December. It was also pretty much right on par with the numbers the series premiere of Intelligence got in this slot. However, I'm sure Los Angeles would fall apart Intelligence style if it were moved to Mondays and honestly that might be a move CBS should think about next season. At 10pm, Person of Interest was up four tenths in viewers and even in the demo. On NBC, The Biggest Loser was up a tenth in viewers and even in the demo while Chicago Fire was down a tenth in viewers and two tenths in the demo. It's a little lower this week but it's still being a standalone show, which is good.

On ABC, Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. started off the night down two tenths in viewers and even in the demo. At 9pm, The Goldbergs was down four tenths in viewers and up a tenth in the demo. It rose to its best demo since the third week of the season, way back on October 8. Back then, it was following a 2.9 demo while it is now following a 2.2 demo. It's still low but there is some buzz growing for this show. Why oh why won't ABC move this show to Wednesdays? At 9:30pm, Trophy Wife was down three tenths in viewers and even in the demo. Finally at 10pm, week two of Killer Women was predictably disastrous as it was down half a million viewers and two tenths in the demo. It is in instant cancellation territory with a 0.7 demo. It's tough to say what ABC will do - Lucky 7 was cancelled after falling to a 0.7 demo in week two while The Assets was cancelled after falling to a 0.6. However, Betrayal has dropped to a 0.7 and ABC has kept it on the air. With only eight episodes to air, I think ABC may not want to cancel two shows in a row this quickly after The Assets. Unless it goes even lower this week, ABC may just see it through.

Finally, FOX had a second straight Tuesday where nothing topped a 1.6 demo. At 8pm, Dads was down four tenths in viewers and a rough three tenths in the demo. This show had a surprising showing last week but it came falling back. At 8:30pm, Golden Globe winning Brooklyn Nine-Nine was up a tenth in viewers and down a tenth in the demo. While it didn't get any sort of Globes bounce, it was the most watched show in the block. At 9pm, New Girl was even with last week but these numbers are still so troubling for a show that was a new bright spot in FOX's lineup two years ago. It does still get decent DVR gains and skews young but the path is not good for this show. At 9:30pm, The Mindy Project was down a tenth in viewers and two tenths in the demo for a series low at a rough 1.1 demo.

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...

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...

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...
