On Tuesday night, CBS brought Person of Interest back for its final season after nearly a year off the air. It hit a series low in total viewers but was up a tenth in the demo from its season finale a year ago this week. It will air on Mondays and Tuesdays over the next several weeks. Earlier in the night, NCIS was up a tenth in viewers and even in the demo while NCIS: New Orleans had a strong night, rising four tenths in viewers and two tenths in the demo. On NBC, it's getting kind of ugly for The Voice, which was down 1.5 million viewers and a rough four tenths in the demo. This show needs a shot in the arm, maybe the new coaches next season will help. The weaker lead-in and drama competition did not help the Chicago twins as Chicago Med was down 1.4 million viewers and three tenths in the demo and Chicago Fire was down four tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo.

On ABC, Fresh Off the Boat was down four tenths in viewers and two tenths in the demo but it remained far and away the best of the block. At 8:30pm, The Real O'Neals was down two tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo for its worst performance with a new Boat as a lead-in. At 9pm, Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. was down three tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo. Beyond the Tank was down a tenth in viewers but up a tenth in the demo. I guess this is an improvement after five straight weeks of 0.5 demos? Finally on FOX, New Girl was the only show that hit 2 million viewers or a 1.0 demo as the 8pm episode was down a tenth in viewers and even in the demo. Grandfathered followed and was even in viewers and up a tenth in the demo. At 9pm, another New Girl was also even in viewers and up a tenth in the demo. At 9:30pm, The Grinder was down two tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo for a series low. Reports have this show still having a chance. How??

WINNER OF THE NIGHT: NCIS: New Orleans (CBS)
LOSER OF THE NIGHT: The Voice (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...

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...
