On Wednesday night, ABC's comedy lineup was back in full force. At 8pm, The Middle was up three tenths in viewers but down two tenths in the demo. Looks like the guest appearance by the Van Dyke brothers led to an older skew. At 8:30pm, The Goldbergs was up three tenths in viewers and down a tenth in the demo. At 9pm, Modern Family was back after a couple weeks of repeats. It was down half a million viewers but even in the demo. Black-ish followed and was up half a million viewers and two tenths in the demo from its last episode, which followed a Family repeat. Nashville closed out the night up seven tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo. On NBC, only The Mysteries of Laura was new. It was up two tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo from its last new episode three weeks ago.

On CBS, Survivor was back on the upswing. It was up eight tenths in viewers and two tenths in the demo. The viewer total is the best since December 2013. This has been a strong spring for Survivor. At 9pm, Criminal Minds was down three tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo despite facing a repeat Law & Order: SVU yet again. At 10pm, CSI: Cyber was up two tenths in viewers and even in the demo for a third straight week. Finally on FOX, American Idol was down a tenth in the demo but up a tenth in the demo. A 1.5 is still pretty horrible but at least it's a little better than the 1.4 demo it has gotten for the last two weeks.

WINNER OF THE NIGHT: Survivor (CBS)
LOSER OF THE NIGHT: American Idol (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

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...
