Sunday night had the Golden Globe Awards on NBC. With host Ricky Gervais, it was down a little bit from last year's show. FOX had a mammoth NFL overrun with their Packers-Redskins playoff game delivered 38.9 million viewers and a 12.1 demo. It helped bolster their comedy lineup to rises across the board, but it could have been better. The Simpsons benefited the most with the direct lead-in. It was up 3.9 million viewers and 1.6 demo. Week two of Cooper Barrett's Guide to Surviving Life was up 2 million viewers and nine tenths in the demo. The problem is this will probably be a series high for this show and last week was more indicative of what it will be like going forward. At 9pm, Family Guy was up six tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo. This show seems to be fading fast. At 9:30pm, Bordertown was up 1.3 million viewers and four tenths in the demo. Considering the very small rise for Family Guy, this seems like a slightly better performance than Cooper.

On ABC, America's Funniest Home Videos was down nine tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo from its last new episode. Week two of Galavant plummeted eight tenths in viewers and three tenths in the demo to a very weak 0.6 demo. This show is being even more ignored this season. Finally, CBS skewed ancient as expected against the competition. 60 Minutes hit a season low at 7pm. At 8pm, Madam Secretary was down 1.1 million viewers and three tenths in the demo for series lows. It gets one more week with a football lead-in next week before it has to deal with self-starting. At 9pm, The Good Wife was down eight tenths in viewers and even in the demo. It actually built on Madam Secretary in the demo. At 10pm, CSI: Cyber was up three tenths in viewers and even in the demo. Both The Good Wife and CSI: Cyber didn't do all that bad, all things considered.

WINNER OF THE NIGHT: The Simpsons (FOX)
LOSER OF THE NIGHT: Madam Secretary (CBS)

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

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...
