9:00 Hell's Kitchen

On Wednesday night, NBC had a good night thanks to another crossover event. First up, The Mysteries of Laura was even in viewers and up a tenth in the demo. At 9pm, Law & Order: SVU was up three tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo. The best bounce of the crossover belonged to Chicago PD, which was up 1.1 million viewers and a good three tenths in the demo. These are all solid shows individually but the crossover events have been very kind to the Dick Wolf universe. On FOX, American Idol was even in viewers and down a tenth in the demo while Hell's Kitchen was down two tenths in viewers and the demo as it may have felt the weight of the 9pm competition this week.

The ABC comedy lineup returned for the first time in three weeks and it was pretty soft, which tends to be the case after a couple weeks off with this lineup. The Middle was down three tenths in viewers and even in the demo, while The Goldbergs was even in the 8pm hour. At 9pm, Modern Family was down four tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo from its last new episode a month ago. Black-ish was up three tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo from its last episode, which followed a Family repeat. At 10pm, American Crime was down half a million viewers but up a tenth in the demo. ABC has been absolutely dreadful in the 10pm hour this week.

Finally, CBS had the final week with its Wednesday comedy hour. 2 Broke Girls was up a tenth in viewers and even in the demo while Mike & Molly was down two tenths in viewers and even in the demo. These two shows certainly held down the fort in between editions of Survivor in a difficult situation. CBS could have done (and has done) a lot worse in this bridge slot before. Girls will move back to Thursday at 9:30pm next week while no slot has been announced for the rest of Mike & Molly's final season. At 9pm, Criminal Minds may have taken a hit from Law & Order: SVU as it fell two tenths in viewers and the demo. At 10pm, Code Black was up two tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo from last week, when it followed a repeat of Minds.

WINNER OF THE NIGHT: Chicago PD (NBC)
LOSER OF THE NIGHT: Hell's Kitchen (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...

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...
