Monday night was pretty disastrous for CBS. Baltimore was preempted for its riot coverage but that's not the reason this went south for CBS. It was just a really weak night without their 9pm anchor. At 8pm, 2 Broke Girls crashed nine tenths in viewers and half a demo point, tying a series low from November. At 8:30pm, Mike & Molly was down nine tenths in viewers and three tenths in the demo tying a series low set both in December and last May. These comedies overachieved last night and definitely underachieved this week. At 9pm, Stalker came over for a short Monday run after being off the air from February. The result was a demo that was slightly up from its last Wednesday airing but well below what Scorpion was getting here. Any glimmer of hope this show might have had is gone now. At 10pm, NCIS: Los Angeles was down a million viewers and even in the demo, tying last week's series low.

Over on ABC, Dancing with the Stars was down two tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo while Castle was even in viewers but down a tenth in the demo to tie its series low from January. I don't see how ABC can justify keeping this show in the same slot next year. On NBC, The Voice was down a tenth in viewers and even in the demo. At 10pm, The Night Shift was down half a million viewers and a tenth in the demo. Finally on FOX, Gotham was up two tenths in viewers but down a tenth in the demo. Not exactly the momentum it could have used ahead of next week's season finale. At 9pm, The Following was up a tenth in viewers and even in the demo.

WINNER OF THE NIGHT: The Voice (NBC)
LOSER OF THE NIGHT: Stalker (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...
