Tuesday was a busy night but only for the first two hours as the networks all abandoned regular programming for Super Tuesday coverage at 10pm. NBC was on top with the second night of The Voice. It was down four tenths from Monday and significantly from last year's Tuesday premiere but Super Tuesday could have played a factor. CBS took a hit from The Voice as NCIS was down 2.1 million viewers and four tenths in the demo while NCIS: New Orleans was down nine tenths in viewers and two tenths in the demo. This is a season low for NCIS, will this be the year it finally goes below a 2.0 demo? It hit the 2.0 demo four times in April and May last season and then again last night.

Over on ABC, the season finale The Muppets was up a tenth in viewers and the demo while the season finale of Marvel's Agent Carter was down a tenth in viewers and the demo. I'd be shocked if either of these shows came back next season. Finally on FOX, New Girl held up despite the competition, dropping just a tenth in viewers while being even in the demo. Grandfathered was down two tenths in viewers and even in the demo. At 9pm, Brooklyn Nine-Nine was down two tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo for a new series low. Brooklyn has lost its mojo with its ratings and somewhat from a creative standpoint too. Can it have a revival like New Girl has been having this season? At 9:30pm, The Grinder was even with last week. With the 10pm news broadcasts, NBC was easily on top with the biggest lead-in and strongest news division. Of course, all the networks competed with the cable networks too.

WINNER OF THE NIGHT: New Girl (FOX)
LOSER OF THE NIGHT: Brooklyn Nine-Nine (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...

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...
