Thursday night had all new programming including the return of the CBS lineup after two weeks of basketball. At 8pm, The Big Bang Theory was up four tenths in viewers and even in the demo as it didn't get affected at all by the break. At 8:30pm, The Millers was up a strong nine tenths in viewers and four tenths in the demo. This is a great showing and one of the better performances yet for The Millers from a retention standpoint. It has earned its renewal. At 9pm, Two and a Half Men was down two tenths in viewers but up a tenth in the demo. The Crazy Ones was down two tenths in viewers and even in the demo. At 10pm, Elementary fell 1.1 million viewers and two tenths in the demo, tying a series low. On FOX, Hell's Kitchen was down four tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo. American Idol continued its nosedive as it was down three tenths in viewers and two tenths in the demo. Yes, Hell's Kitchen beat American Idol. Wow. At 9:30pm, week two of Surviving Jack was down seven tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo. It wasn't a bad drop but the premiere was so low it may not matter.

On ABC, the series finale of the cancelled Once Upon a Time in Wonderland aired at 8pm. It was even in viewers and down a tenth in the demo. This ill-advised spinoff probably should have just aired as a limited series during the parent show's winter hiatus. At 9pm, Grey's Anatomy was down a tenth in viewers and up a tenth in the demo. At 10pm, Scandal was up a tenth in viewers and down two tenths in the demo. NBC was not really in the competition. At 8pm, Community was down eight tenths in viewers and two tenths in the demo for a new series low. This show does not deserve to cheat death again. At 8:30pm, Parks and Recreation was down four tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo. At 9pm, Hollywood Game Night was up two tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo. Finally, Parenthood was down six tenths in viewers and two tenths in the demo as the 10pm shows all seemed to hurt each other.

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...

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...
