The World Series is over so it was back to ratings doldrums for FOX as they went from a 12+ in the demo on Wednesday to below a 1 as they usually do on Thursdays. Rosewood was even with last week while Pitch was down two tenths in viewers and up a tenth in the demo. FOX announced that Thursdays will become unscripted/Gordon Ramsay night in January with Hell's Kitchen, My Kitchen Rules, and eventually Masterchef Junior coming on the night. Rosewood will move to Fridays while Pitch will not go beyond its 10 episode order unless it comes back late in the spring. That seems unlikely but it hasn't officially been cancelled yet. On NBC, Superstore was back down six tenths in viewers and two tenths in the demo following last week's jump. For the first time, The Good Place built on its lead-in as it was down two tenths in viewers and even in the demo. This further helps its chance for renewal. At 9pm, Chicago Med was down three tenths in viewers and two tenths in the demo. The Blacklist closed out the night even in viewers and down a tenth in the demo.

CBS had its second week of its new lineup and it was pretty ugly. At 8pm, The Big Bang Theory was down a tenth in viewers and three tenths in the demo. Week two of The Great Indoors had a pretty similar decline as its lead-in, falling seven tenths in viewers and three tenths in the demo. That still meant pretty weak retention and a 1.6 demo for week two behind TV's biggest demo draw seems pretty underwhelming. At 9pm, Mom was down a tenth in viewers and two tenths in the demo to a troubling 1.3 demo. This is not good enough for an anchor. At 9:30pm, Life in Pieces was down a tenth in viewers and the demo showing great retention out of Mom. Surprisingly, Life in Pieces has looked comparably stronger in its situation than The Great Indoors or Mom. At 10pm, week two of Pure Genius was down eight tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo. The hold from last week was decent but it started so low to begin with. On ABC, Grey's Anatomy was down six tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo, Notorious was down two tenths in viewers and even in the demo, and How to Get Away with Murder was even. Finally on the CW, DC's Legends of Tomorrow was even with last week while Supernatural was up a tenth in viewers and the demo.

WINNER OF THE NIGHT: The Good Place (NBC)
LOSER OF THE NIGHT: Mom (CBS)

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...

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...
