Sunday night had all new programming including a season finale on ABC. First up though for them was America's Funniest Home Videos, which was down half a million viewers and even in the demo. At 8pm, Once Upon a Time was down four tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo. The season finale of Resurrection followed and was up three tenths in viewers and two tenths in the demo. This is the first time in its eight episode season that it went up in the demo so while that may be a sigh of relief, it's still not a great sign for next year. This is sure to be renewed and it should be, but I think its current numbers are probably its best bet. At 10pm, Revenge was down two tenths in viewers and even in the demo. On NBC, American Dream Builders was down four tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo, Dateline NBC was down two tenths in viewers and up a tenth in the demo, Believe was down two tenths in viewers and even in the demo, and Crisis was down four tenths in viewers and even in the demo. NBC is airing part one of their new Rosemary's Baby movie next Sunday.

FOX was up or even across the board. Bob's Burgers was down a tenth in viewers and even in the demo, American Dad! was up a tenth in viewers and the demo. A Lego-themed episode of The Simpsons recovered nicely as it was up nine tenths in viewers and four tenths in the demo from last week's low. Family Guy was up four tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo. This show hasn't really been hurt by the move to 8:30pm. At 9pm, Cosmos: A Spacetime Odyssey was up four tenths in viewers and two tenths in the demo. Things were pretty bleak for CBS as their lineup was very very old-skewing. 60 Minutes was up a tenth in viewers and three tenths in the demo. The Amazing Race was down four tenths in viewers and two tenths in the demo. The Good Wife was down three tenths in viewers and two tenths in the demo for a new series low. Will CBS keep this show at 9pm next season? They really shouldn't. At 10pm, The Mentalist was down two 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...

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...
