On Tuesday night, FOX had season finales that should really be series finales for two of the shows. New Girl was up a tenth in the demo at both 8pm and its 9pm wedding episode. In the half-hour slots, Grandfathered was down two tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo while The Grinder was up a tenth in viewers and the demo. If one needed to pull ahead of the other as renewal decisions near, this didn't help because they ended up exactly even. On NBC, The Voice was up a bit from last week's poor showing. It rose half a million viewers and two tenths in the demo. At 9pm, Chicago Med was up four tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo while Chicago Fire was up two tenths in viewers and even in the demo. Both Chicago shows were exactly even in the ratings.

On ABC, Fresh Off the Boat had a very rough night as it dropped four tenths in viewers and two tenths in the demo for a series low. ABC needs to give this show some help next year. In its last ratings result before upfronts, bubble show The Real O'Neals managed to hold its lead-in, even though said lead-in was pretty diminished. It was down a tenth in viewers and even in the demo. I lean towards thinking this will get renewed. At 9pm, Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. was even with last week while a BattleBots special got Beyond the Tank-esque ratings at 10pm. Finally on CBS, NCIS was back on the upswing, rising 1.1 million viewers and two tenths in the demo. At 9pm, NCIS: New Orleans was up six tenths in viewers but down a tenth in the demo. Person of Interest closed out the night down a tenth in viewers and even in the demo.

WINNER OF THE NIGHT: NCIS (CBS)
LOSER OF THE NIGHT: Fresh Off the Boat (ABC)

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...
