9:30 Bordertown
Viewers: 2.3 million, 18-49 demo: 1.1

On Sunday night, FOX unveiled its new lineup but didn't get as much help as it might have hoped from the NFL overrun which was a blowout and ended fairly early (especially compared to the CBS overrun). The Simpsons did alright at 8pm, but it was downhill from there. The series premiere of Cooper Barrett's Guide to Surviving Life premiered to an anemic 2.6 million viewers and 1.2 demo. I guess this is a slightly young skew if you want to be optimistic, but that viewer number isn't going to get it anywhere. At 9pm, Family Guy was pretty weak and it led into Bordertown to a weak 2.3 million viewers and 1.1 demo. I guess the Bordertown performance was slightly better only because its lead-in was weaker. This lineup gets an NFL playoff game lead-in next week so that should help but it'll be all downhill after that.

On ABC, the season premiere of Galavant tied the series low from last year's limited January run. I don't really know why this got renewed in the first place so I don't think we can be too surprised by this. It will probably dip even lower when it has to face the Golden Globes and NFC Championship Game later in the month. On CBS, 60 Minutes benefited from an NFL lead-in as usual while Undercover Boss was up a tenth in viewers and two tenths in the demo from last week. Finally on NBC, the Vikings-Packers showdown that gave the NFC North to Minnesota delivered NBC's best Sunday night numbers since the November 29 Broncos-Patriots game.

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...
