Despite having a great fall the rest of the week, NBC has punted on Fridays all season. That finally came to an end with scripted programming returning to the night. The final season of Grimm started things off at 8pm with a 0.9 demo, which was about the same as last season. It led into the two hour series premiere of Emerald City. The Oz drama seemed like it might premiere better given some online buzz so I'd categorize this as disappointing even though it did build on its Grimm lead-in. It will probably be fractional as soon as next week. FOX premiered its new Friday lineup. Rosewood saw a new series low at 8pm, but it wasn't that far below what it was doing on Thursdays in the fall. At 9pm, Sleepy Hollow tied its series low, also hitting a 0.6 demo. FOX probably shouldn't have expected anything more here.

Despite NBC and FOX having new lineups, it was the ABC and CBS that had nice January returns. On ABC, Last Man Standing soared a million viewers and three tenths in the demo for its best performance since January 9, 2015. I'm not sure what caused this performance but it was a great showing. Dr. Ken was up a million viewers and two tenths in the demo for its best performance since March. At 9pm, Shark Tank was up nine tenths in viewers and a big four tenths in the demo, also hitting a season high. The good vibes kept coming with 20/20, which was up 1.2 million viewers and a big half a demo point. CBS had a good night too although not as ridiculous jumps. MacGyver was up seven tenths in viewers and two tenths in the demo for its best performance since September 30. Hawaii Five-0 was up six tenths in viewers and two tenths in the demo while Blue Bloods was up six tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo. Finally on the CW, a double pumping of Crazy Ex-Girlfriend was in line with recent episodes.

WINNER OF THE NIGHT: Last Man Standing (ABC)
LOSER OF THE NIGHT: Sleepy Hollow (FOX)

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...
