Monday night had the premiere of the new CBS Monday lineup without The Big Bang Theory and the results were mixed. Probably the best news came at 8pm where Kevin Can Wait appeared capable of being a lead-off show. It was understandably down four tenths from last week when it followed Big Bang but it was the strongest performer of the night for CBS and self started for the most part. The new Man with a Plan followed and was down just slightly from its lead-in. It got an OK sampling but didn't exactly make a splash. These two sitcoms may have a rough time next week when they air on Halloween, which tends to be unkind to the 8pm hour. At 9pm, 2 Broke Girls was down a tenth in viewers and the demo, tying a series low. The Odd Couple had a really rough premiere last week but managed not to drop as it was up three tenths in viewers and even in the demo. At 10pm, Scropion fell to a new low, dropping two tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo.

On NBC, The Voice was the clear leader on Monday with Big Bang gone from the night. It was down two tenths in viewers and even in the demo. After a strong week last week, Timeless had a rough one this week as it dropped four tenths in viewers and two tenths in the demo despite the lead-in staying steady. A 1.3 demo really doesn't cut it and it dropped to a 1.1 in the 10:30 half hour. This has been one of the more interesting shows to watch the ratings for because it looked like it bought itself some time last week before looking like it will not last beyond its initial order again this week. On the CW, Supergirl inched down again as it was even in viewers and down a tenth in the demo while Jane the Virgin was even with last week. On ABC, Dancing with the Stars was up four tenths in viewers and even in the demo for a third consecutive week. At 10pm, Conviction had its first rise as it was up half a million viewers and a tenth in the demo. Notorious had its order cut today, can Conviction be far behind? Finally on FOX, Gotham was up two tenths in viewers and down a tenth in the demo while Lucifer was even in viewers and down a tenth in the demo.

WINNER OF THE NIGHT: Kevin Can Wait (CBS)
LOSER OF THE NIGHT: Timeless (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...
