Sunday night had a mammoth overrun for the NFL with the annual Manning-Brady Bowl on CBS. The huge lead-in led to a season high for 60 Minutes as it was up nicely from last week's NFL-fueled numbers. Then, CBS had a great showing from Madam Secretary, which was up 1.5 million viewers and three tenths in the demo for its best numbers since the series premiere. Yes, it's retention out of 60 Minutes wasn't great but you have to remember that 60 Minutes was probably losing NFL viewers as the hour went on. This was a great showing for CBS's freshman drama. At 10pm, The Good Wife was up three tenths in viewers but down a tenth in the demo. For the second week in a row, CSI was preempted thanks to a very long NFL overrun. NBC had one of its lower weeks for Sunday Night Football with the Ravens-Steelers tilt.

ABC's lineup was on the rise from last week's lows with America's Funniest Home Videos back at 7pm after a week off. At 8pm, Once Upon a Time was up six tenths in viewers and two tenths in the demo. Resurrection was up the same at 9pm. Revenge closed out the night up four tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo. Finally, FOX had a weaker night with no NFL lead-in and Family Guy being a repeat again. At 7:30pm, Bob's Burgers was down two tenths in viewers and up a tenth in the demo from its last airing a month ago. The Simpsons and Brooklyn Nine-Nine were both down big from their last episodes, which had an NFL lead-in. They were exactly on par with what they did the last time there wasn't an NFL lead-in, though. At 9:30pm, Mulaney fell seven tenths in viewers and three tenths in the demo to a pitiful 0.7 demo. Time to pull this show and put Bob's Burgers on at 9:30pm.

WINNER OF THE NIGHT: Madam Secretary (CBS)
LOSER OF THE NIGHT: Mulaney (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...
