On Sunday night, NBC had a repeat of Little Big Shots and that led to a big drop for The Carmichael Show. Without its big lead-in, Carmichael plunged 1.8 million viewers and four tenths in the demo. I know NBC loves this show but it has not proven itself worthy of a third season and this is the most glaring example of why. At 9:30pm, Crowded was down a million viewers and two tenths in the demo from last week's 9:30 episode. The only positive news is it held on 100% to its lead-in. At 10pm, Dateline NBC was down 1.6 million viewers and three tenths in the demo. On ABC, America's Funniest Home Videos was up two tenths in viewers and three tenths in the demo. At a 1.2 demo, it tied for the best demo of the night. For a 7pm show that has been on over 25 years! At 8pm, Once Upon a Time was up a tenth in viewers and even in the demo. At 9pm, The Family was down a tenth in viewers and even in the demo. Quantico closed out the night down two tenths in viewers and even in the demo.

It was a very steady night for CBS through the first three hours. At 7pm, 60 Minutes was down four tenths in viewers and even in the demo while Madam Secretary was even in viewers and up a tenth in the demo. These shows skew so old but very shows get this many total viewers on a regular basis. At 9pm, The Good Wife was down a tenth in viewers and even in the demo. At 10pm, Elementary was down three tenths in viewers and even in the demo. Finally on FOX, Bordertown was even in viewers and down a tenth in the demo. At 8pm, The Simpsons was up two tenths in viewers and even in the demo while Bob's Burgers was up two tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo. After another Family Guy repeat, The Last Man on Earth was down four tenths in viewers and two tenths in the demo to tie a series low.

WINNER OF THE NIGHT: America's Funniest Home Videos (ABC)
LOSER OF THE NIGHT: The Carmichael Show (NBC)

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...
