As expected, it was NBC leading Tuesday night. At 8pm, The Voice was up three tenths in viewers and two tenths in the demo from last week's troubling drop. At 9pm, Chicago Med had a great night, rising eight tenths in viewers and two tenths in the demo. The viewer total was the best since December. Chicago Fire finished the night off even with last week. On ABC, Fresh Off the Boat returned after two weeks off to a solid result. It was up half a million viewers and two tenths in the demo for its best performance since March 8. At 8:30pm, The Real O'Neals was also up half a million viewers and two tenths from last week, when it followed a repeat. At 9pm, Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. was up three tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo. At 10pm, Beyond the Tank was even.

Over on CBS, the season finale of Limitless followed repeats but was even with last week. I'm not sure it deserves to, but I definitely see this show coming back for a second season. Finally on FOX, there were three episodes of New Girl airing with new ones at 8pm and 9pm. The 8pm episode was up half a million viewers and two tenths in the demo from last week but the 9pm episode tied the series low set last week and there was no interest in the Prince cameo repeat that aired at 9:30pm. The only non-New Girl show was Grandfathered, which was new for the first time since March 8 and it ended up crashing to a series low by two tenths in the demo. I keep hearing that either Grandfathered or The Grinder will get renewed, but does either one deserve to? I don't think so.

WINNER OF THE NIGHT: Chicago Med (NBC)
LOSER OF THE NIGHT: Grandfathered (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...
