Monday night had the season finale of Almost Human start things off for FOX. It was up three tenths in viewers but down a tenth in the demo for a series low. Hitting a series low for its season finale is not good for a show on the bubble like Human. Bones returns to Monday night next week. At 9pm, The Following was up six tenths in viewers and even in the demo. On NBC, The Voice held up very well as it was down just three tenths in viewers and two tenths in the demo from its premiere. The Blacklist did not hold up as well as it was down two tenths in viewers and four tenths in the demo for its worst performance airing after The Voice. I'm not sure what happened here but NBC must be hoping it doesn't have a spring swoon as they need to be able to send it on its own next year.

On CBS, How I Met Your Mother started things off down two tenths in viewers and three tenths in the demo. Despite Mother dropping, the other three sitcoms each went up. 2 Broke Girls was up four tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo, Mike & Molly was up seven tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo, and Mom was up 1.1 million viewers and a tenth in the demo. At 10pm, Intelligence was down half a million viewers and even in the demo. Finally on ABC, The Bachelor aired for an hour and a half and was even in viewers but down two tenths in the demo from last week's two hour episode. A repeat of the Mixology pilot aired at 9:30pm and it seemed to really hurt Castle which fell three tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo for a new series low.

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...
