The May doldrums continue as it was another weak night. Only CBS saw a rise from last week. Survivor was up two tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo. Criminal Minds was up two tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo and the season finale of CSI was even in viewers but up two tenths in the demo. On ABC, The Middle was down seven tenths in viewers and two tenths in the demo for a series low. The now cancelled Suburgatory followed down half a million viewers and two tenths in the demo for a series low. Modern Family only recovered ever so slightly from last week's big drop. It was up two tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo. Mixology followed dead even with last week, it has also been cancelled. At 10pm, Nashville was up a tenth in viewers and even in the demo. 

Things fell apart for NBC. At 8pm, Revolution was down half a million viewers and two tenths in the demo for a series low. This came ahead of its cancellation on Friday. At 9pm, Law & Order: SVU was down nine tenths in viewers and three tenths in the demo while Chicago PD closed out the night down a huge 1.9 million viewers and half a demo point from last week, when it crossed over with Chicago Fire. It seems like it should be pretty concerning to NBC that Chicago PD can only perform well when it's being crossed over with either Fire or SVU. Finally on FOX, American Idol was down eight tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo for another series low.

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...
