CBS was in repeats on Tuesday night and other networks had mixed results. On NBC, The Voice started things out down a big million viewers and six tenths in the demo. It had Daylight Savings to contend with but should have done better without a new NCIS to worry about. At 9pm, About a Boy followed suit as it fell nine tenths in viewers and half a demo point. No surprise that this show seems to be very tied to The Voice. I feel like NBC doesn't want to see how this would do without The Voice as a lead-in because they know it could be trouble. Growing Up Fisher held up better as it slipped just six tenths in viewers and two tenths in the demo. This show has been surprisingly resilient so far. At 10pm, Chicago Fire was up a tenth in viewers and even in the demo. This is pretty good but it could have gone up with Person of Interest being a repeat. However, it built on its lead-in and continues to have its own audience so that's a good thing.

On ABC, Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. rallied a bit from the series low it hit last week. It was up half a million viewers and three tenths in the demo. It benefited from a repeat NCIS. The better lead-in didn't help The Goldbergs as the comedy was up two tenths in viewers but even in the demo. Once again, it's obvious these two shows share next to no audience. At 9:30pm, Trophy Wife was up four tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo from last week's series low. Finally, Mind Games was up three tenths in viewers and two tenths in the demo. It makes no difference as far as long term chances but now I don't think ABC will prematurely yank Mind. FOX's Tuesday disaster continued with all three shows (which are all renewed for next season) hitting series lows. Glee was down four tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo, going below a 1 demo. New Girl was down four tenths in viewers and two tenths in the demo while Brooklyn Nine-Nine was down a tenth in viewers and 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...
