Friday night had the return of the CBS lineup after basketball and it had a new 8pm occupant. After airing last summer, Unforgettable is finishing its season. It did OK in total viewers but skewed very old. At 9pm, Hawaii Five-0 was down two tenths in viewers and even in the demo from its last airing while Blue Bloods was even in viewers and up a tenth in the demo. On NBC, Dateline NBC was down 1.7 million viewers and two tenths in the demo from its two hour edition last week. At 9pm, Grimm was down nine tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo from its last airing two weeks ago. With more scripted competition at 10pm thanks to Blue Bloods, Hannibal fell a rough 1.1 million viewers and two tenths in the demo.

On ABC, Last Man Standing was down two tenths in viewers and even in the demo while The Neighbors was down three tenths in viewers and two tenths in the demo. At 9pm, Shark Tank was down eight tenths viewers and a tenth in the demo. Finally at 10pm, 20/20 was down eight tenths in viewers but up a tenth in the demo. FOX aired the series finale of Raising Hope to no interest at all. The series was cancelled after four years when it died on Friday nights this season. It was up a tenth in viewers and the demo from last week. This show had its fans but it doesn't seem like one that is going to be remembered for years to come.

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...
