FOX
8:00 American Idol
Viewers: 8.8 million, 18-49 demo: 2.3

On Thursday night, NBC premiered You, Me, and the Apocalypse (which has already aired in England). It didn't do anything incredible but it also didn't fall completely on its face with five million viewers and a 1.2 demo. It was above recent numbers for Heroes: Reborn in this slot. The problem is, it's sure to drop in the future especially when The Big Bang Theory and Grey's Anatomy are new again. So, I'm sure this will fall below a 1.0 demo very soon. At 9pm, The Blacklist was down three tenths in viewers and even in the demo. Shades of Blue closed things out down four tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo.  On FOX, American Idol was down six tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo

CBS was in repeats for the first hour and a half but airing The Big Bang Theory repeat at 9pm gave Angel From Hell its usual lead-in in terms of numbers and it was down just three tenths in viewers and even in the demo. It's also worth noting that Mom performed similarly to its original episodes by airing at 8:30pm and following a Big Bang repeat. At 10pm, Elementary was down two tenths in viewers and even in the demo. Finally on ABC, Beyond the Tank was down three tenths in viewers and up a tenth in the demo. The season finale of dud My Diet is Better Than Yours was down a tenth in viewers and up a tenth in the demo. I'm sure we'll never hear from this again.

WINNER OF THE NIGHT: The Blacklist (NBC)
LOSER OF THE NIGHT: None

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...
