Tuesday night had the start of a more intriguing than usual World Series and it delivered its best Game 1 rating since 2009. Surprisingly, it had very little impact on the rest of the networks despite FOX being unbelievably stronger than usual on Tuesdays. That just goes to show how many viewers watch something other then broadcast networks regularly. On ABC, Halloween episodes did not provide a boost to the comedies but maybe it helped them from dropping much against the World Series. At 8pm, The Middle was down three tenths in viewers and even in the demo. American Housewife built on its lead-in. It was down six tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo. It did build on its lead-in for a third straight week. At 9pm, Fresh Off the Boat was down a tenth in viewers and the demo. The Real O'Neals managed to come back up slightly from last week's bad performance, rising three tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo. At 10pm, Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. was even in viewers and up a tenth in the demo.

On CBS, NCIS saw another series low as it fell seven tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo. This actually isn't too bad because I thought it could have dropped more against the World Series. At 9pm, Bull followed suit and was also down seven tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo. At 10pm, NCIS: New Orleans was up a tenth in viewers and the demo. It was actually The Voice that seemed to be hit harder by baseball than NCIS. The Voice was down 1.1 million viewers and a rough four tenths in the demo. This is Us was down too but it built on its lead-in even more impressively. It was down a million viewers and two tenths in the demo. At 10pm, Chicago Fire was down half a million viewers and even in the demo. Once again, it is really an independent performer from its lead-ins. Finally on the CW, The Flash was up a tenth in viewers and even in the demo as it was also not impacted by baseball. No Tomorrow was even with last week.

WINNER OF THE NIGHT: Chicago Fire (NBC)
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...
