Sunday night had season finales on CBS and FOX. On CBS, 60 Minutes started things off up 1.4 million viewers and two tenths in the demo. At 8pm, the season finale of The Amazing Race was up eight tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo. I think the move to the lower pressure Friday slot next year will be good for this show. At 9pm, The Good Wife was up four tenths in viewers and even in the demo but it was The Mentalist that was more impressive as it was up 1.1 million viewers and three tenths in the demo. Of course The Mentalist is the one that won't be back until midseason. On ABC, the season finale of America's Funniest Home Videos was up seven tenths in viewers and even in the demo. The Billboard Music Awards were up significantly from last year to their best performance in years. This was an impressive showing for a second tier award show. 

On FOX, all the animated shows had their season finales. Bob's Burgers was dead even with last week. The final FOX airing of American Dad! was also dead even with last week. After nearly a decade on FOX, the show will head to TBS in the fall. At 8pm, The Simpsons was down four tenths in viewers and even in the demo while Family Guy was down three tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo. Cosmos: A Spacetime Odyssey was down three tenths in viewers and even in the demo. That shows still has a couple weeks left. Finally on NBC, American Dream Builders was down four 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...
