Tuesday night had the Vice Presidential Debate eating up 9-11pm on four networks but its combined ratings were the worst since 2000. Only CW aired a regular lineup with their Tuesday premiere night. At 8pm, The Flash was down just a tenth in the demo from last year's premiere but it held up extremely well throughout the season so we'll see if that happens again. It beat FOX and was a tenth behind ABC in the demo. It led into the premiere of No Tomorrow, which did not get off to a good start at a 0.5 demo. While this might be OK for the CW regularly, it was weak for a premiere where there was little entertainment competition. With four shows on the bench, No Tomorrow may only see half a season. The 8pm hour for the other networks was pretty standard. NBC had a clip show of The Voice, which did pretty well for a clip show. As usual, NBC was also on top among the broadcast networks for debate analysis. On CBS, NCIS had a down week, dropping 1.1 million viewers and two tenths in the demo, tying a series low. On ABC, the results edition of Dancing with the Stars was up a million viewers and a tenth in the demo. It will return to one night a week next week as the comedy lineup premieres next Tuesday. Finally on FOX, Brooklyn Nine-Nine was up a tenth in viewers and even in the demo while New Girl was even with last week.

WINNER OF THE NIGHT: The Flash (CW)
LOSER OF THE NIGHT: No Tomorrow (CW)

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...
