Tuesday night had the return of Parks and Recreation for its final season on NBC. While it didn't set the world on fire, it was above most ratings last year and was one of the better comedy performances on NBC for the whole season. It's only airing for six more weeks so it may be able to go out on a decent night. The 9pm hour was much rougher, especially Marry Me at 9pm. It was up a tenth in viewers but down a tenth in the demo. Dead show walking now. About a Boy actually built from last week and the lead-in. It was up a tenth in viewers and the demo. Chicago Fire is getting screwed with these sitcom lead-ins. It was down a tenth in viewers and the demo for its worst performance since December 12, 2012. I can't imagine NBC is going to be OK with this kind of lead-in damage for one of their flagship shows, but we'll see. On CBS, it was another good week for NCIS, which was up a tenth in viewers and even in the demo. As usual, the veteran drama is being quite impressive in January. It wasn't quite as good a week for NCIS: New Orleans, which was just renewed for a second season. It easily won the 9pm hour, but it was down 1.3 million viewers and two tenths in the demo. Person of Interest closed things out up a tenth in viewers and even in the demo.

Over on ABC, a special Shark Tank airing was a better 8pm option than much of what ABC has aired here this season. It didn't help week two of Marvel's Agent Carter, though. That show fell 1.8 million viewers and four tenths in the demo from its two hour series premiere last week. It has already tied Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. low in the demo and it's probably not done dropping, so that's not a great sign. At 10pm, Forever was down a tenth in viewers and the demo, tying a series low. Finally on FOX, Masterchef Junior had another good week after its renewal announcement last week. It was down four tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo from last week's third edition premiere. At 9pm, New Girl was down three tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo. Hard to believe this show as losing to Marry Me in the demo at one point. The Mindy Project closed things out up two tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo.

WINNER OF THE NIGHT: NCIS (CBS)
LOSER OF THE NIGHT: Marry Me (NBC)

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...
