On Tuesday night, CBS aired the classic holiday special Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer and it delivered solid numbers as usual as it was down just a bit from last year. So impressive for a special that airs yearly and is readily available elsewhere. NBC took advantage of repeats on CBS later in the night but first for them, The Voice was up 1.1 million viewers and a tenth in the demo. Then at 9pm, This is Us was up a big 1.5 million viewers and three tenths in the demo. The viewer total is a series high while the demo was its second best ever. This juggernaut is just continuing to be more impressive by the week. At 10pm, Chicago Fire was up 1.4 million viewers and two tenths in the demo for its best performance since the season premiere. It was a great night for NBC. On FOX, Brooklyn Nine-Nine was up a tenth in viewers and the demo while New Girl was even. It's interesting how Brooklyn has looked much stronger than New Girl recently. At 9pm, Scream Queens was up a tenth in viewers and even in the demo.

CW's crossover week continued in a big way where The Flash surged 1.2 million viewers and four tenths in the demo for its best performance since February in the demo and best performance since December 2014 in the demo. You can certainly bet more crossovers will be on the horizon for these CW superhero shows. It was no help to flop lead-out, No Tomorrow, which was up a tenth in viewers and even in the demo. From a 1.5 demo to a 0.3 demo? Yikes! Finally on ABC, The Middle kicked things off down three tenths in viewers and even in the demo. American Housewife was down half a million viewers and even in the demo. At 9pm, Fresh Off the Boat was down a tenth in viewers and even in the demo while The Real O'Neals was down three tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo. Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. aired for the first time since November 1 and was even with its last airing.

WINNER OF THE NIGHT: This is Us (NBC)
LOSER OF THE NIGHT: New Girl (FOX)

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...

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...

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...
