Sunday night saw mammoth numbers from the final hour of the 49ers-Packers NFL Wildcard game. It was up from last year's game and delivered a stunning 15.1 demo. As usual, it led to season highs for the animated shows. The Simpsons was up the most as it soared 3.5 million viewers and 1.1 demo points. Bob's Burgers was up eight tenths in viewers and half a demo point. Family Guy was down six tenths in viewers but up a tenth in the demo as the halo effect was wearing off. American Dad! was even in viewers and up a tenth in the demo. A Jimmy Fallon special on NBC surprisingly did very well so that bodes well for his transition to host of The Tonight Show in February.

Over on ABC, America's Funniest Home Videos was up two tenths in viewers and the demo from its last new episode. A special leading up to The Bachelor's Monday night premiere at 8pm did well, almost as well as Once Upon a Time in fact. It also seemed to be more compatible with Revenge as Revenge returned up half a million viewers and three tenths in the demo for its best performance since the second week of the season. These sorts of numbers will easily get Revenge renewed but if it drifts back to the 1.4/1.5 territory, who knows. At 10pm, Betrayal was down two tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo. Over on CBS, The Good Wife was down 1.2 million viewers and two tenths in the demo while The Mentalist was down a tenth in viewers and two 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...
