RATINGS RECAP: 10/15/14

Please note I am comparing week to week results with the revised Nielsen numbers. I will update my weekly recaps (already did for week one), but I'm not going back to every ratings recap since day one of the season and revising the statistics. That information is readily available in other places if you want it!

ABC
8:00 Toy Story of Terror
Viewers: 6.2 million, 18-49 demo: 1.8
8:30 It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown
Viewers: 6.2 million, 18-49 demo: 2.2
9:00 Modern Family
Viewers: 9.7 million, 18-49 demo: 3.4
9:30 Black-ish
Viewers: 6.9 million, 18-49 demo: 2.5
10:00 Nashville
Viewers: 5.0 million, 18-49 demo: 1.3

CBS
8:00 Survivor
Viewers: 9.3 million, 18-49 demo: 2.3
9:00 Criminal Minds
Viewers: 10.9 million, 18-49 demo: 2.4
10:00 Stalker
Viewers: 7.9 million, 18-49 demo: 1.7

NBC
8:00 The Mysteries of Laura
Viewers: 8.7 million, 18-49 demo: 1.4
9:00 Law & Order: SVU
Viewers: 7.2 million, 18-49 demo: 1.7
10:00 Chicago PD
Viewers: 6.8 million, 18-49 demo: 1.6

FOX
8:00 Hell's Kitchen
Viewers: 3.7 million, 18-49 demo: 1.2
9:00 Red Band Society
Viewers: 3.2 million, 18-49 demo: 1.0

Wednesday night had Halloween specials at 8pm on ABC and they did pretty well, but I think they would have done better if they had aired the week of Halloween. Why not preempt the Tuesday comedies on Halloween week? At 9pm, Modern Family was down six tenths in viewers and a just tenth in the demo while Black-ish was down a million viewers and four tenths in the demo. It's been up and down for this show which had a great premiere, big week two drop, week three climb, and then big week four drop. I still think it's going to level off in a pretty good place. At 10pm, Nashville was down four tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo for a season low. On FOX, Hell's Kitchen was down a tenth in viewers and two tenths in the demo for a series low. The news was a little better for embattled newbie Red Band Society as it was up three tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo, despite the lead-in being down.

On CBS, Survivor was down four tenths in viewers and two tenths in the demo for a season low. Criminal Minds was up four tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo for a good showing. Stalker continues to hold on well. It was down three tenths in viewers and even in the demo. With a 1.7 demo, it's CBS's highest rated 10pm show yet this week. Finally, NBC had a pretty decent night. At 8pm, The Mysteries of Laura was down a tenth in viewers but up a tenth in the demo. I think a full season pickup is very likely for this show. At 9pm, Law & Order: SVU was down four tenths in viewers and even in the demo. At 10pm, Chicago PD inched up as it was up a tenth in viewers and the demo. Overall, a pretty stable night.

WINNER OF THE NIGHT: Criminal Minds (CBS)
LOSER OF THE NIGHT: Hell's Kitchen (FOX)

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...
