Sunday night was a good night for football with FOX dominating in an NFL overrun for a big Cowboys-Steelers game. On NBC, a Patriots-Seahawks matchup delivered the best ratings for NBC since the opening weekend. Maybe there was something to the election taking away from football ratings, we'll see if it stands. Later in the night on FOX, The Simpsons felt the direct benefits of football and was up four million viewers and 1.7 demo points for its best performance of the season, even better than the 600th/Treehouse of Horror episode a few weeks back. At 8:30pm, Son of Zorn was up 1.5 million viewers and seven tenths in the demo. This is the best performance since October 2 but retention out of The Simpsons was still a problem. It will be preempted for a second Bob's Burgers next week. At 9pm, Family Guy was up a million viewers and four tenths in the demo and the bounce even extended a bit to The Last Man on Earth, which was up half a million viewers and two tenths in the demo.

On CBS, a much publicized first interview with newly President-Elect Trump delivered dominating ratings for 60 Minutes with 20 million viewers and a 3.4 demo. This was easily a season high for 60 Minutes but it came nowhere close to the first sit-down with President Obama shortly after his election in November 2008. It also propelled NCIS: Los Angeles to a new season high in total viewers. It was 1.8 million viewers and two tenths in the demo. At 9pm, Madam Secretary was up 1.1 million viewers and even in the demo while Elementary was up eight tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo. Finally on ABC, America's Funniest Home Videos took a hit from football and 60 Minutes as it dropped 1.3 million viewers and two tenths in the demo. Once Upon a Time was down two tenths in viewers and the demo to tie a series low. However, the following two dramas have ever so slight rises. Both were up a tenth in the demo. In total viewers, Secrets and Lies was up four tenths and Quantico was up six tenths.

WINNER OF THE NIGHT: 60 Minutes (CBS)
LOSER OF THE NIGHT: America's Funniest Home Videos (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

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...
