Tuesday night had a series finale on NBC but first, night two of The Voice was close to its Monday premiere numbers for a strong Tuesday start. Then at 10pm was the series finale of Parks and Recreation. While its demo was the best since May 2013 and the viewer total was the best since January 2012, it still didn't go out on much of a high note. This was true to form for the show that always had a loyal following but never broke out to a mass audience. CBS took a bit of a hit from The Voice. At 8pm, NCIS was down seven tenths in viewers and three tenths in the demo while NCIS: New Orleans was down a million viewers and a tenth in the demo to tie a series low. The NCIS shows always have a tough time with The Voice. At 10pm, Person of Interest was up four tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo despite the lower lead-in.

ABC had more good news from Fresh Off the Boat as its new show held up very well against The Voice. It was down just four tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo. At 8;30pm, Repeat After Me was down half a million viewers and a tenth in the demo from last week's series premiere. At 9pm, the season finale of Marvel's Agent Carter was down two tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo. The viewer total was a series low. I don't think this will be back, but I wouldn't completely count it out. At 10pm, Forever was up a tenth in viewers and down a tenth in the demo from its last airing. Finally on FOX, Masterchef Junior was down seven tenths in viewers and two tenths in the demo for its season finale. It will surely be back in the fall as it has been a pleasant surprise on Tuesdays this year. At 9pm, New Girl was down two tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo while The Mindy Project was down two tenths in viewers and even in the demo.

WINNER OF THE NIGHT: The Voice (NBC)
LOSER OF THE NIGHT: Marvel's Agent Carter (ABC)

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...
