On Tuesday night, ABC started with A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving and it delivered a very healthy number, perhaps due to some renewed Peanuts interest thanks to the recent movie. It led into the finale of Dancing with the Stars. It was up a bit from Monday's performance finale but well below the 3.0 demo that last fall's finale got. Despite not airing directly against Dancing, The Voice took a big hit as it dropped 1.2 million viewers and half a demo point. It actually lost to NCIS in the demo. At 9pm, week two of Chicago Med was down an understandable eight tenths in viewers and four tenths in the demo. For a second week of a show, more competition, and a much weaker lead-in, this is not a bad showing at all. However, with this drop and Blindspot's on Monday, every new show has gone below a 2.0 demo this season. At 10pm, Chicago Fire was down just seven tenths in viewers and three tenths in the demo. NBC may have found a winning lineup on Tuesdays with this trio. Too bad The Voice will be gone for a couple months.

Over on CBS, NCIS was down just four tenths in viewers and even in the demo with last week for another great showing. NCIS: New Orleans did not do as well as it fell 1.1 million viewers and a tenth in the demo. The viewer total is a new series low. Both New Orleans and Limitless could have been hit by Dancing as Limitless was down a million viewers and a tenth in the demo to new series lows. Finally on FOX, everything hit a new series low. Grandfathered was down three tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo. The Grinder was down a tenth in viewers and two tenths in the demo. It's at a 0.7 demo but it has a full season order? Yikes! At 9pm, Scream Queens was down four tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo.

WINNER OF THE NIGHT: NCIS (CBS)
LOSER OF THE NIGHT: The Grinder (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...

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...
