On Thursday night, FOX had a new lineup with American Idol now over. Bones returned after being off since December 10 and it only managed to tie that day's ratings. It is so far past its prime so an announced final season for next year was a smart idea. It was still better than American Grit, which was ignored for its series premiere with 2.4 million viewers and a 0.8 demo. This looks to be a show that will be quickly forgotten but will probably air out the string. On CBS, a repeat of The Big Bang Theory led off the night. Despite a much lower lead-in, The Odd Couple was down just half a million viewers and even in the demo. After a very disappointing start to its season last week, this was a much more promising result. At 9pm, Mom was up three tenths in viewers and even in the demo while 2 Broke Girls was up four tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo. Rush Hour closed out the night down half a million viewers and even in the demo.

NBC debuted its third new Thursday lineup this season and the results were pretty awful. Once again, it was The Blacklist as a bright spot, rising three tenths in viewers and two tenths in the demo. This show continues to impress when it has had no help in over a year since it moved to Thursday. At 8pm, the time period of Strong dropped two tenths in the demo from its weak Wednesday debut. And it was even worse for Game of Silence, which didn't carry anything over from its Voice preview, plunging six tenths in the demo from Tuesday's premiere. Both bookends to The Blacklist had pitiful 0.8 demos and will surely be one and done options here. So far, only Shades of Blue has shown any hope of being a Blacklist companion. Finally on ABC, a two hour Grey's Anatomy was up six tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo. It provided a stronger lead-in for The Catch but the new TGIT show was down a tenth in viewers and the demo. It did manage to win the 10pm hour, albeit with a very weak 1.0 demo.

WINNER OF THE NIGHT: The Blacklist (NBC)
LOSER OF THE NIGHT: American Grit (FOX)

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...

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...
