On Monday night, NBC had the season finale of The New Celebrity Apprentice and it was even with last week's two hour episode. This was pretty low rated but I don't think it was to the point of not having a chance of renewal as a filler. I could still see it come back but it may not be in the 2017-18 season and may not be with Arnold Schwarzenegger. At 10pm, Timeless recovered just slightly from last week's terrible fall as it was up a tenth in viewers and the demo. CBS was very close to last week across the board. Kevin Can Wait and Superior Donuts were both even while Man with a Plan was down a tenth in viewers and even in the demo, 2 Broke Girls was even in viewers and down a tenth in the demo, and Scorpion was down six tenths in viewers and even in the demo. This is probably most encouraging for Superior Donuts, which is holding up well and fitting in nicely to the comedy lineup. I think its chances of getting a second season are very good at this point.

The FOX newbies didn't fare as well as Donuts. Week two of 24: Legacy was down 1.1 million viewers and three tenths in the demo. So much for the Super Bowl giving this show a boost as its already down to a 1.2. But the news was even worse for APB, which was down a rough 1.6 million viewers and half a demo point from last week's promising start. This was a big rejection week to week and probably will doom this show. On ABC, The Bachelor was up a tenth in viewers and even in the demo, easily topping all Monday shows. At 10pm, Quantico continued to squander its lead-in, dropping two tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo, tying a series low. ABC should just pull this show, honestly. They could get more mileage airing a game show here for the rest of the season. Finally on the CW, Supergirl was up a tenth in viewers and the demo while Jane the Virgin was up two tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo.

WINNER OF THE NIGHT: Superior Donuts (CBS)
LOSER OF THE NIGHT: APB (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...
