On Sunday night, CBS had a huge NFL overrun thanks to a close and exciting game between the Patriots and Giants. It went nearly a full hour into primetime so 60 Minutes and the dramas started 27 minutes later than scheduled. As usual, 60 Minutes benefited the most as it soared to season highs. It's amazing that this show can swing from as low as a 1.0 demo on non football lead-in nights to a 3.6 when it has a football lead-in. Of course, there's always the question of how many people just leave their TVs on. Madam Secretary followed and was even in viewers and up a tenth in the demo for its best performance in over a month. The Good Wife was up two tenths in viewers and even in the demo and CSI: Cyber was up a tenth in viewers and two tenths in the demo for its best demo number since the season premiere. Despite a close Cardinals-Seahawks game, NBC had its second weakest result for Sunday Night Football this season.

On ABC, America's Funniest Home Videos was down three tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo. Two hours of Once Upon a Time followed and it was even with last week's one hour episode. The worst news for ABC was at 10pm where Quantico couldn't capitalize with the much better lead-in. It was down two tenths in viewers and even in the demo. This show has been a huge gainer in DVR, however. Finally, FOX was low again with no NFL lead-in but most shows were actually up despite a repeat of The Simpsons at 8pm. Bob's Burgers, however, was down eight tenths in viewers and four tenths in the demo. It did have an NFL lead-in in some markets last week. Brooklyn Nine-Nine followed a repeat but was even in viewers and up a tenth in the demo. Family Guy was up three tenths in viewers and two tenths in the demo and The Last Man on Earth was up two tenths in viewers and the demo.

WINNER OF THE NIGHT: 60 Minutes (CBS)
LOSER OF THE NIGHT: Quantico (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...

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...
