On the first Tuesday after Daylight Savings, CBS seemed to take the most advantage. NCIS was dominant, rising 1.2 million viewers and two tenths in the demo for its best performance since the season premiere. At 9pm, NCIS: New Orleans took a big leap forward with The Voice being a clip show as competition. It was up 1.1 million viewers and three tenths in the demo for a season high. This might be a glimpse of what it can do in January and February without The Voice. At 10pm, Limitless was up four tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo for its best performance in a month. NBC said goodbye to Best Time Ever with Neil Patrick Harris and it rose nine tenths in viewers and a good three tenths in the demo. I definitely think it will be back in some capacity in the future. After a clip show of The Voice, Chicago Fire was up three tenths in viewers and down a tenth in the demo. It definitely has its own audience.

On ABC, The Muppets was up three tenths in viewers and even in the demo. It was announced today that its showrunner is leaving and it will go through a sort of reboot before its final six episodes in the spring. At 8:30pm, Fresh Off the Boat was up four tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo for its best performance in a month. There's not space for it now, but I think it would have a Goldbergs-style leap if it could move to Wednesdays. At 9pm, Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. was dead even with last week. It was an ugly second week for Wicked City, which has already dropped to a 0.7 demo by falling nine tenths in viewers and two tenths in the demo. This show already has one foot in the coffin. FOX's lineup returned after a week off but it was still quite low. Grandfathered was down a tenth in viewers and even in the demo. The Grinder was down four tenths in viewers and two tenths in the demo to a troubling 0.8 demo. Grandfathered is definitely the stronger show of the two at the moment. Finally, Scream Queens was down two tenths in viewers and even in the demo.

WINNER OF THE NIGHT: NCIS: New Orleans (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...
