Thursday night had the second week of CBS's regular Thursday lineup and the results weren't very encouraging. The best news came at 8pm where The Big Bang Theory was up three tenths in viewers and two tenths in the demo. It may start to go up in the weeks to come as it often does in the late fall/early winter months. The rest of the lineup did not benefit. At 8:30pm, Mom was down three tenths in viewers and two tenths in the demo from last week's premiere. This is still a decent performance but retention is getting a little more troubling. At 9pm, Two and a Half Men was down 1.2 million viewers and two tenths in the demo. New comedy The McCarthys looks to be a dud as it was down 1.4 million viewers and two tenths in the demo from its premiere. It is at a weak 1.5 demo and CBS has Mike & Molly and The Odd Couple sitting on the bench. I'd be shocked to see this go past 13 episodes. Elementary continues to be a problem at 10pm where it was down half a million viewers and even in the demo, losing to Parenthood in the latter category. On FOX, Bones was dead even with last week while it keeps getting worse for Gracepoint, which was down three tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo.

ABC's TGIT lineup was back in full force with Grey's Anatomy returning down half a million viewers and a tenth in the demo. It is still one of the top improvements in a timeslot on any network as it has solved ABC's Thursday 8pm problem. Scandal was up half a million viewers but down two tenths in the demo despite the better lead-in. At 10pm, How to Get Away with Murder was up half a million viewers and a tenth in the demo from last week's series low. Finally on NBC, The Biggest Loser was down a tenth in viewers and up a tenth in the demo. Bad Judge was down two tenths in viewers and even in the demo while A to Z was up two tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo. At 10pm, Parenthood rebounded more than the others as it was up a tenth in viewers and two tenths in the demo.

WINNER OF THE NIGHT: The Big Bang Theory (CBS)
LOSER OF THE NIGHT: Gracepoint (FOX)

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...

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...

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...
