It was a pretty decent night for the broadcast networks on Wednesday night as three shows were above a 2.0 demo in both the 8pm and 9pm hours, a rare occurrence these days. NBC started things off with a special edition of The Voice and it powered NBC to a strong 8pm hour, though it was down from its usual Monday & Tuesday numbers, which was expected. It also helped Law & Order: SVU rise 1.2 million viewers and half a demo point for a season high. This show seems to always benefit big from a Voice lead-in. At 10pm, Chicago PD was up three tenths in viewers and two tenths in the demo. On FOX, Rosewood was up a tenth in viewers but down a tenth in the demo, tying a series low. Empire took another hit as it fell half a million viewers and a rough four tenths in the demo. It's getting closer to its series low - the 3.8 it got for the series premiere back in January.

ABC had its regular lineup back after the CMA Awards last week. The Middle was up two tenths in viewers and even in the demo to start off the night. The Goldbergs followed and was up a tenth in viewers but down a tenth in the demo. At 9pm, Modern Family was up four tenths in viewers and even in the demo from its last new airing three weeks ago. Black-ish was down two tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo. Interesting that it did better two weeks ago when it followed a Modern Family repeat. The worst performance was at 10pm where Nashville was up four tenths in viewers but down a tenth in the demo to tie a series low. The three 10pm shows on ABC this week have gotten a 1.0, 0.4, and 1.0 demo. Yikes. Finally on CBS, Survivor was up two tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo. Criminal Minds stopped the bleeding and was up seven tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo for the first rise of its season. Code Black was up half a million viewers and even in the demo at 10pm. It has at least been consistent so I could see CBS possibly giving it a few additional episodes.

WINNER OF THE NIGHT: Law & Order: SVU (NBC)
LOSER OF THE NIGHT: Nashville (ABC)

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...
