On Tuesday night, CBS was on top for most of the night. At 8pm, NCIS was down 1.3 million viewers and two tenths in the demo. At 9pm, NCIS: New Orleans was up a tenth in viewers and down a tenth in the demo. It has nestled into really nice numbers, but how would it do in another slot? We probably won't know for a couple years. At 10pm, Person of Interest was down nine tenths in viewers and three tenths in the demo. It was the only show to not win its hour. Over on ABC, a special Shark Tank aired at 8pm and did numbers that were almost identical to last Friday's episode. Next week, Fresh Off the Boat takes over the 8pm slot. Despite the better lead-in, Marvel's Agent Carter was down four tenths in viewers and even in the demo. At 10pm, Forever was down four tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo for a series low. We'll see how Fresh Off the Boat does, but it's pretty clear that ABC Tuesdays will need another overhaul next season.

Over on NBC, only one episode of Parks and Recreation was new and it was even in viewers and down two tenths in the demo from last week's 8pm episode for a season low. At 9pm, Marry Me was down two tenths in viewers and even in the demo while About a Boy was up a tenth in viewers and the demo. Chicago Fire kicked off its crossover event with Chicago PD. It was down two tenths in viewers and up a tenth in the demo. It probably would have had a better chance to jump if it had any sort of lead-in, but it still won the hour in the demo. Finally on FOX, Masterchef Junior was down two tenths in viewers and even in the demo at 8pm. At 9pm, New Girl was up a tenth in viewers and even in the demo. It was actually second in the timeslot. The Mindy Project closed things out down two 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: Person of Interest (CBS)

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...
