It was a quiet Sunday as nothing topped a 1.8 in the demo. On ABC, America's Funniest Home Videos started things off down six tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo. Not bad for a 7pm show in Daylight Savings. At 8pm, Once Upon a Time had that 1.8 demo, but it was down a rough eight tenths in viewers and three tenths in the demo. At 9pm, week three of Secrets and Lies was down half a million viewers and even in the demo. Though the overall numbers are pretty weak, this has held up better than I thought it would. At 10pm, Revenge was down a tenth in viewers and even in the demo. Over on CBS, 60 Minutes started things up a million viewers and half a demo point. Madam Secretary also experienced a bit of a rebound as it was up half a million viewers and a tenth in the demo. The Good Wife was down two tenths in viewers and even in the demo while Battle Creek was down a tenth in viewers and up a tenth in the demo.

Everything was down on FOX. At 7:30pm, Bob's Burgers was down two tenths in viewers and two tenths in the demo. So far, it's still holding up a little better than it did last year in its 7:30pm airings. At 8pm, The Simpsons was down two tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo while Brooklyn Nine-Nine was down a tenth in viewers and the demo. At 9pm, Family Guy took a tumble. It was down half a million viewers and four tenths in the demo. It's looking less and less promising by the week for the new The Last Man on Earth. It fell another six tenths in viewers and three tenths in the demo. It's now lost nearly a full demo point since it's surprising premiere numbers two weeks ago and that doesn't bode well. It'll have to stabilize fast and these types of drops make me think it's not done yet.

WINNER OF THE NIGHT: Madam Secretary (CBS)
LOSER OF THE NIGHT: The Last Man on Earth (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...
