On Sunday night, CBS topped the night with the Academy of Country Music Awards, but it was down huge from last year's result. Earlier in the night, 60 Minutes was up 2.1 million viewers and two tenths in the demo. It appears that last week's Easter Sunday result was not a fluke for NBC's Little Big Shots as the new show was up seven tenths in viewers but down a tenth in the demo. This is a strong show for NBC but it's not the game-changer it looked like it might be at first. At 9pm, The Carmichael Show was up three tenths in viewers and even in the demo while Crowded was even with last week. Dateline NBC replaced Hollywood Game Night and was up a million viewers and a tenth in the demo from Game Night's result.

On ABC, America's Funniest Home Videos was down half a million viewers and a tenth in the demo. All three dramas went up a tenth in the demo. In total viewers, Once Upon a Time and Quantico were up three tenths while The Family was up half a million viewers. Finally, FOX set series lows for every show of the night except for Bob's Burgers, which aired two episodes at 8:30pm and 9pm. For Bordertown and Cooper Barrett's Guide to Surviving Life, it meant a pitiful one million viewers and 0.4 demo. For The Simpsons, it meant its first ever 1.0 demo in its 27 year history.

WINNER OF THE NIGHT: NONE
LOSER OF THE NIGHT: Cooper Barrett's Guide to Surviving Life (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...
