Sunday night had FOX with the NFL overrun. Coupling that with the annual Halloween Treehouse or Horror episode of The Simpsons led to gains across the board with every show hitting or tying a season high. The Simpsons had the biggest bump, of course, as it was up 3.1 million viewers and 1.1 demo points. Brooklyn Nine-Nine followed and was up 1.8 million viewers and eight tenths in the demo. It's retention hasn't been quite as good this year. At 9pm, Family Guy was 1.1 million viewers and four tenths in the demo while The Last Man on Earth rose 1.1 million viewers and half a demo point. Of course this was an aberration for FOX Sundays and Family Guy is looking very old, but this lineup can still make some noise in the right circumstances. Over on NBC, a Panthers-Eagles game was below last week's Colts-Patriots tilt, but it wasn't a horrible drop considering it was much less of a marquee game. Next week's Packers-Broncos showdown of two 6-0 teams could be one of the better rated games of the season.

CBS did not have the NFL overrun but the total viewer count was OK to start the night with each show starting almost an hour earlier than last week. 60 Minutes suffered the most as usual without the direct lead-in as it was down big. But Madam Secretary was actually up 1.2 million viewers and a tenth in the demo for a very good showing with no NFL lead-in. At 9pm, The Good Wife was up seven tenths in viewers and even in the demo. CSI: Cyber didn't have to start at 10:59 this week and was up 1.3 million viewers and a tenth in the demo. Finally on ABC, America's Funniest Home Videos rebounded from last week's troubling drop. It was up three tenths in viewers and the demo. At 8pm, Once Upon a Time was up two tenths in viewers and even in the demo. Blood & Oil, which had its episode order cut this past week, was up four tenths in viewers and even in the demo. Only Quantico was down as it slipped two tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo. ABC seems so high on this show but they don't seem to be giving it the support it needs after its promising start.

WINNER OF THE NIGHT: The Simpsons (FOX)
LOSER OF THE NIGHT: CSI: Cyber (CBS)

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...

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...
