FOX
8:00 American Idol
Viewers: 8.7 million, 18-49 demo: 2.2

The new Thursday shows had a rough second week with none of them topping a 1.3. The most disappointing performance came from Shades of Blue. Earlier in the night on NBC, Heroes: Reborn was up a tenth in viewers and even in the demo. The season finale is next week and NBC announced this week it will indeed be a limited series and not see a second season. At 9pm, The Blacklist was dead even with last week. After last week's promising debut, Shades of Blue took a big tumble in week two as it fell two million viewers and half a demo point. This was a pretty rough drop that gets it quickly out of the conversation of being a strong drama pal to the Dick Wolf shows and instead into the bubble conversation. On FOX, the second Thursday of American Idol was down 1.3 million viewers and half a demo point. It's already down to a 2.2 demo on Thursdays which doesn't bode well for the weeks ahead.

Everything was down some on CBS except for The Big Bang Theory, which was up a tenth in viewers and even in the demo. Life in Pieces followed and was down two tenths in viewers and the demo. It seems like Life in Pieces dictates how the rest of the night does and in this case, everything followed suit. At 9pm, Mom was down half a million viewers and a tenth in the demo. Week two of Angel From Hell was down a million viewers and three tenths in the demo. This is not a horrible second week drop but it already started pretty low. At 10pm, Elementary was down seven tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo. Finally on ABC, Beyond the Tank was down two tenths in viewers and even in the demo while My Diet is Better Than Yours was down three tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo from last week's horrible debut.

WINNER OF THE NIGHT: The Big Bang Theory (CBS)
LOSER OF THE NIGHT: Shades of Blue (NBC)

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...
