Tuesday night had the series premiere of ABC's newest Marvel series, Agent Carter. I would label in squarely in the "average" category with its premiere. On the plus side, it was a self-starter and it did better than most recent Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. airings. On the minus side, it lost viewers across the two hours and didn't even match Galavant's premiere numbers despite tons of promotion. While it wasn't a DOA premiere, it seems ripe for a big week two drop to me, but we'll see. It was no help to Forever as that show was down three tenths in viewers and even in the demo. CBS had a great night as they often do this time of year. At 8pm, NCIS was up 2.3 million viewers and four tenths in the demo. The viewer total is a season high while the demo is the best since premiere week. NCIS: New Orleans was up a huge 3.3 million viewers and six tenths in the demo. This result tied the series premiere numbers in the demo and set an outright high in total viewers. Person of Interest was up 1.2 million viewers and four tenths in the demo. The viewer total is the best since September 30. I'm not sure why but CBS is always very strong across the board in January.

Over on NBC, Marry Me really stunk it up at 9pm. It was down 2.5 million viewers and four tenths in the demo from its last airing, which followed The Voice. Of course it was expected to drop, but there was no interest here as it easily hit a series low. It couldn't even top its lead-in (a Parks and Recreation REPEAT). At 9:30pm, About a Boy was down a million viewers and a tenth in the demo. The good news is it didn't drop as badly and built on Marry in total viewers. But both these shows are goners. NBC announced that it has trimmed About a Boy's episode order by two, down to 20 episodes. At 10pm, Chicago Fire had to be a complete self-starter yet again. It was down six tenths in viewers but even in the demo. It tied Person of Interest in the demo despite having a lead in demo that was 1.7 points lower. FOX had the latest edition of Masterchef Junior and it tied the series high from its fall premiere. At 9pm, New Girl was down a tenth in viewers and even in the demo while The Mindy Project was down three tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo, tying a series low.

WINNER OF THE NIGHT: NCIS: New Orleans (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...

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...
