10:00 Parenthood

FOX 
8:00 Hell's Kitchen
Viewers: 5.5 million, 18-49 demo: 2.0
9:00 American Idol
Viewers: 8.9 million, 18-49 demo: 2.2 

On Thursday night, FOX had a slightly revamped lineup. At 8pm was the new season of Hell's Kitchen. It immediately paid dividends for FOX. Though it was down from FOX's 8pm offering last week (Idol), it was way stronger than the 9pm show (Rake) so it contributed to a much better night for FOX. Plus, it held its own against The Big Bang Theory. At 9pm, American Idol was down nine tenths in viewers and even in the demo. Considering it was at an easier time and actually had a lead-in, it probably should have gone up. But at least it didn't hit another series low. On ABC, Once Upon a Time in Wonderland was down a tenth in viewers and the demo, tying a series low. At 9pm, Grey's Anatomy was down eight tenths in viewers and three tenths in the demo, also tying a series low. However, Scandal did not follow suit as it held up much better. It was down three tenths in viewers and even in the demo.

On CBS, The Big Bang Theory was down eight tenths in viewers and four tenths in the demo, tying a season low. It may have been negatively impacted by Daylight Savings though that hasn't been a huge issue this week. At 8:30pm, The Millers was down 1.1 million viewers and half a demo point. Once again, retention out of Big Bang was below 50%. However, it doesn't matter anymore since The Millers snagged a renewal anyway. At 9pm, Two and a Half Men was down a million viewers and two tenths in the demo. Its retention from The Millers is way better than The Crazy Ones' retention was. Speaking of The Crazy Ones, it was down three tenths in viewers and even in the demo. The fact that it didn't get a renewal this week, when the other CBS shows did, is a bad idea. At 10pm, Elementary was up four tenths in viewers and down a tenth in the demo. As usual, NBC was not very competitive. At 8pm, Community was dead even with last week. At 8:30pm, Parks and Recreation was down three tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo. At 9pm, Hollywood Game Night was down four tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo. It's hard to believe this is a better lineup than it was in the fall. At 10pm, Parenthood was up a tenth in viewers and even 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...

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...
