Sunday night had the NFL overrun swing back to CBS and of course helping their shows. Starting at 7:35, 60 Minutes swung all the way back up to 16 million viewers and a 3.0 demo. NCIS: Los Angeles followed and was up half a million viewers and three tenths in the demo for its best demo showing since March 9, 2015. This move to Sunday has been good for the veteran drama so far. At 9:35pm, Madam Secretary was down a tenth in viewers and even in the demo as the NFL halo didn't extend that far. Elementary closed out the night up two tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo. FOX didn't have the NFL overrun but it started OK thanks perhaps to regional NFL action boosting Bob's Burgers to a very solid 1.4 demo at 7:30pm. At 8pm, The Simpsons was down big from last week but topped the FOX lineup with a 1.5 demo. But the rest of the night didn't go as well. Son of Zorn proved it's really not a big player and was down 1.5 million viewers and half a demo point. Family Guy and The Last Man on Earth both tied series lows in the 9pm hour. Family was down 1.2 million viewers and four tenths in the demo while Last Man was down six tenths in viewers and two tenths in the demo.

It was another really ugly Sunday for ABC where all three dramas tied or hit a series low. At 8pm, Once Upon a Time was down a tenth in viewers and the demo but that was the best performance of the night. It was incredibly ugly from 9-11pm where Secrets and Lies and Quantico both had 0.7 demos. Secrets was down four tenths in viewers and two tenths in the demo. Quantico was down two tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo. Secrets will definitely be done after its order and Quantico is looking beyond the point of saving. For those keeping score, these two dramas join Conviction and Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. as ABC dramas with 0.7 demos this week. Finally, the ugly tie between the Seahawks and Cardinals on Sunday Night Football was up big from last week's Colts-Texans game.

WINNER OF THE NIGHT: NCIS: Los Angeles (CBS)
LOSER OF THE NIGHT: Secrets and Lies (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...
