Tuesday night was pretty rough for NBC. At 8pm, The Voice was down a tenth in viewers and the demo for another season low. Once again, The Voice is slipping pretty badly as the edition goes on. At 9pm, About a Boy was down six tenths in viewers and three tenths in the demo for a new series low. This was a pretty rough drop for a show that's been building a lot of goodwill. It really calls into question if it can do anything at all without The Voice lead-in. Growing Up Fisher was down two tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo for a new series low as well. For a show on the bubble, this wasn't a good showing. At 10pm, Chicago Fire was not impacted as it was up two tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo. 

On ABC, Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. started out the night even in viewers and up two tenths in the demo. After its early slide, it has been very stable for several months now. At 9pm, The Goldbergs was up three tenths in viewers and the demo. Not only did it beat New Girl but it also beat About a Boy for the first time. Just when it looked like it was slipping again with its 1.4 demo last time, it had a nice rise again. Put this show on Wednesdays already! At 9:30pm, Trophy Wife was up four tenths in viewers and two tenths in the demo. The rise shouldn't matter for a renewal at this point. Celebrity Wife Swap did not follow the upward trend as it was down three tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo.

On CBS, NCIS recovered nicely from its season low as it was up two tenths in viewers and three tenths in the demo from its last airing. At 9pm, NCIS: Los Angeles did not follow suit as it was up a tenth in viewers but even in the demo. Person of Interest was up six tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo at 10pm. Will NCIS: Los Angeles or Person of Interest be on the move next season? Because it seems certain that one of them will. On terrible FOX, Glee was down a tenth in viewers and even in the demo. New Girl was even in viewers and down a tenth for another series low. The news is just getting worse by the week for this show. It was almost beat by The Mindy Project for the first time until it adjusted up in the finals. The Mindy Project was up 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...
