9:30 Brooklyn Nine-Nine
Viewers: 2.6 million, 18-49 demo: 1.3

On Tuesday night, FOX was miserable as usual even with the season finale of Brooklyn Nine-Nine. At 8pm, Glee was down a tenth in viewers and even in the demo. At 9pm, New Girl was even in viewers and down a tenth in the demo for a series low. Wow, this show has fallen hard, just like it's lead-in. The season finale of Brooklyn was up a tenth in viewers and two tenths in the demo. It built on its New Girl lead-in but was still pretty bad. However, a 1.2 or 1.3 demo gets you renewed these days on FOX. On NBC, The Voice started things off down eight tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo for a season low. At 9pm, About a Boy continued to show strength as it was down just two tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo. How would this do without The Voice lead-in though? At 9:30pm, Growing Up Fisher was down four tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo. I think both sitcoms will get renewed.

CBS saw small gains across the board. At 8pm, NCIS was up four tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo with the first part of its backdoor pilot for the New Orleans spinoff starring Scott Bakula - being planned for 2014-2015. I don't think the ratings say anything about viewers' interest in a new show because this si right where NCIS has been lately. We'll see how it does next week with part two. At 9pm, NCIS: Los Angeles was up 1.3 million viewers and a tenth in the demo. At 10pm, Person of Interest benefited from Chicago Fire being a repeat. It was up 1.3 million viewers and three tenths in the demo for its best performance since February 4. On ABC, Mind Games followed all repeats but was down just three tenths 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...

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...
