On Tuesday night, NBC had good news for its new freshman drama This is Us. First up though, The Voice had a great second Tuesday, dropping just two tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo from last Tuesday. Then at 10pm, week two of This is Us was down 1.3 million viewers but just two tenths in the demo with a very solid 2.6 demo. It has earned its full season that was announced yesterday. NBC probably wishes they didn't have to preempt it next week for the Vice Presidential Debate, but it will get to return still following The Voice, but at the higher viewed 9pm hour so it should continue to do well. On ABC, another results edition of Dancing with the Stars was pretty low with a 1.3 demo. I know these bloated results editions were added because of the debate next week but they're not worth it for ABC. The new comedy lineup begins in two weeks after next week's debate. At 10pm, Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. was down four tenths in viewers and two tenths in the demo, tying a series low in the demo.

On CBS, NCIS was down half a million viewers and a tenth in the demo from last week's season premiere. The show tragically had their showrunner die in his sleep last night so there will be some upheaval with the CBS stalwart. At 9pm, week two of Bull took a typical week two drop, dropping two million viewers and three tenths in the demo. It would have been better if it could have stayed in the 2s but we'll have to see where it stabilizes. Next time it airs, it will face the ABC comedy lineup and This is Us instead of The Voice. There was good news at 10pm where NCIS: New Orleans was down three tenths in viewers but up a tenth in the demo. So far, this looks like a pretty good 10pm performer. Finally, it was an ugly second week for FOX Tuesday. Brooklyn Nine-Nine held up the best, dropping a tenth in viewers and the demo. New Girl was down three tenths in viewers and two tenths in the demo and Scream Queens completely fell off the map, dropping half a million viewers and three tenths in the demo to a horrible 0.7 demo. There's got to be a point where the other values of this show for FOX don't make up for the terrible same day ratings.

WINNER OF THE NIGHT: NCIS: New Orleans (CBS)
LOSER OF THE NIGHT: Scream Queens (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...
