Friday night had a nice bounce for the ABC sitcoms with their 90s guest stars. Patricia Richardson guest starred on Last Man Standing and it was up 2.6 million viewers and half a demo point. The demo is the best since March 22, 2013 and the viewer total is the best since season one - way back on January 17, 2012. Cristela had Roseanne as a guest star and it was up 2.1 million viewers and half a demo point for a series high in viewers and the best demo since the premiere. These guest stars were well-promoted so these numbers probably won't stay high, but it's a nice start to 2015 for these bubble shows. At 9pm, Shark Tank was up seven tenths in viewers and four tenths in the demo while 20/20 was on par with the last time it followed a new Shark Tank. 

The bad trend for Glee last spring did not perk up for its final season. Banished to Fridays, the show delivered next to nothing with 2.4 million viewers and a 0.7 demo. FOX made a big mistake renewing this show for two seasons and they're stuck with it this spring. It has gone from being one of the buzziest shows with the highest demo to a show that has been completely forgotten. Finally, CBS had a nice night as well. Undercover Boss was down even in viewers and up a tenth in the demo. Hawaii Five-0 was up a million viewers and a tenth in the demo for season highs. Blue Bloods had its 100th episode and it was up 1.3 million viewers but even in the demo. The viewer total was tied for the best viewer total since the series premiere.

WINNER OF THE NIGHT: Last Man Standing (ABC)
LOSER OF THE NIGHT: Glee (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...
