On Wednesday, FOX started with Lethal Weapon, which was even in viewers and up a tenth in the demo. Star aired for the first time in a regular timeslot and not behind Empire. It was obviously down big from December's sneak peek after Empire, but it did build on the Lethal Weapon lead-in which showed there's an audience there. I would call this a solid, but not great start. On ABC, the entire comedy lineup was up from their last airings. The Goldbergs was up half a million viewers and two tenths in the demo while Speechless was up three tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo. At 9pm, Modern Family was up eight tenths in viewers and a nice four tenths in the demo while Black-ish was up three tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo. Match Game returned for a short winter run and it did pretty well with a 1.3 demo, actually up from most recent Designated Survivor episodes (though I'm sure Match Game won't be a huge DVR player like Designated).

The NBC lineup was finally back after nearly two months off. Blindspot was up a tenth in viewers and even in the demo. Law & Order: SVU aired for the first time since November 9 and it was up three tenths in viewers and two tenths in the demo. At 10pm, Chicago PD was up two tenths in viewers and three tenths in the demo from its last Wednesday airing, which was two hours. It was down from Tuesday's crossover episode. On CBS, Undercover Boss was up a tenth in viewers and two tenths in the demo from last week's holiday week airing. At 9pm, Criminal Minds was down half a million viewers and up a tenth in the demo while Code Black was even in viewers and up a tenth in the demo from its last airing, which followed Undercover Boss. Finally on the CW, Frequency was down two tenths in viewers for a series low. It was even in the demo at a pitiful 0.2.

WINNER OF THE NIGHT: Modern Family (ABC)
LOSER OF THE NIGHT: Frequency (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...
