On Thursday night, CBS finally had the big January bump that they usually get. At 8pm, The Big Bang Theory was up eight tenths in viewers and two tenths in the demo for its best performance since the second week of the season. The Great Indoors followed suit and was up a strong 1.4 million viewers and three tenths in the demo. This ties the series premiere in the demo and is an outright series high in total viewers. After looking really weak for awhile, The Great Indoors has looked stronger and got an additional three episodes today to bring it to a full season of 22 episodes. Monday comedies Kevin Can Wait and Man with a Plan also got additional episodes. At 9pm, Mom was up three tenths in viewers and two tenths in the demo for a season high. Life in Pieces didn't quite get the bump the other comedies got as it was down two tenths in viewers but up a tenth in the demo. At 10pm, Pure Genius was down three tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo.

NBC was back with its Thursday lineup after nearly two months off due to football and the results were pretty disappointing. At 8pm, Superstore was the most solid return as it was up four tenths in viewers and even in the demo. The Good Place was down three tenths in viewers and the demo, tying a series low as it begins a crucial stretch here before it ends its season at the end of the month. At 9pm, Chicago Med was down half a million viewers and two tenths in the demo, tying a series low. The Blacklist was down seven tenths in viewers and two tenths in the demo for an outright series low. On ABC, The Great American Baking Show was up 1.1 million viewers and a tenth in the demo from its last airing, which was at 10pm. It was followed by a movie on the 1990s Menendez Brothers murder. Continuing in the OJ & JonBenet Ramsay parade, this also overperformed with a solid 1.7 demo that topped all fall episodes of Notorious and How to Get Away with Murder in this slot. I expect the true crime trend will continue. FOX aired two hours of Hell's Kitchen on its new night and it was up from the Rosewood/Pitch lineup.

WINNER OF THE NIGHT: The Great Indoors (CBS)
LOSER OF THE NIGHT: The Blacklist (NBC)

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...
