Tuesday night was a mixed bag for the networks with some shows rising while others explored new lows. NBC had a two hour edition of The Voice. It was down half a million viewers and a tenth in the demo from its last regular airing two weeks ago. Despite being down, it certainly helped Chicago Fire, which rose a nice 1.4 million viewers and four tenths in the demo. I know NBC likes to launch new shows after The Voice, but Chicago consistently does well when given this lead-in, unlike recent entries The Night Shift and State of Affairs. CBS took a hit across the board from the stronger NBC. At 8pm, NCIS was up three tenths in viewers but down a tenth in the demo. The demo tied a series low set way back in May 2004, its first season. It could hit a new series low before this season is done. NCIS: New Orleans took a big hit but not quite as big as the last time it directly faced The Voice. It was down a tenth in viewers and the demo. This show isn't looking nearly as strong as the season wears on. At 10pm, Person of Interest was down half a million viewers and two tenths in the demo, tying series lows.

Over on ABC, Fresh Off the Boat was up a tenth in viewers and the demo. After weeks of drops, any sort of rise is a good thing for its renewal chances. At 9pm, Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. was down a tenth in viewers but up a tenth in the demo. At 10pm, Forever took a bit of a hit (perhaps also from Chicago Fire?) It was down six tenths in viewers and two tenths in the demo, tying a series low. Finally, it was a pitiful night on FOX. Hell's Kitchen started things off up a tenth in viewers and even in the demo. It's getting really alarming for New Girl, which dropped two tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo for another series low. It's already renewed, but a 0.9? Yikes. This could be headed to Glee territory soon. At 9:30pm, week two of instant bomb Weird Loners was down two tenths in viewers and even in the demo. If FOX doesn't pull it this week, they'll probably let it run through all six episodes.

WINNER OF THE NIGHT: Chicago Fire (NBC)
LOSER OF THE NIGHT: New Girl (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...

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...
