On Monday night, the end of Daylight Savings and it not being Halloween helped a lot of shows to rise from last week. Most dramatic was Kevin Can Wait on CBS, which surged a million viewers and four tenths in the demo. It may have benefited from guest star Adam Sandler but it also was probably the hardest hit by Halloween. At 8:30pm, Man with a Plan was up three tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo. It did rise but it didn't look like as much of a perfect match with Kevin, which was up much more. At 9pm, 2 Broke Girls was up four tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo while The Odd Couple was up seven tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo. At 10pm, Scorpion was up four tenths in viewers and even in the demo. On FOX, Gotham was up three tenths in viewers and two tenths in the demo for a nice rebound while Lucifer was up a tenth in viewers and the demo.

NBC had a rebound of its own as The Voice was up half a million viewers and three tenths in the demo. Timeless was preempted for an SNL Election Special that, despite being a clip show, tapped into the timeliness of its airing time and delivered the best number for the hour since The Good Place's preview series premiere on the opening night of the season. On ABC, Dancing with the Stars was up four tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo. Conviction was down 1.1 million viewers and a tenth in the demo to a new series low at a horrible 0.6. ABC announced that they won't order more episodes of Conviction. It's not an official cancellation but it's an unofficial one. This was supposed to be a procedural for them and procedurals are all about getting lots of episodes. This one is done. Finally on the CW, Supergirl was up three tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo while Jane the Virgin was up a tenth in viewers and even in the demo.

WINNER OF THE NIGHT: Kevin Can Wait (CBS)
LOSER OF THE NIGHT: Conviction (ABC)

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...
