On Thursday night, NBC premiered The Blacklist: Redemption to poor results. But first up, Superstore was down two tenths in viewers and even in the demo and Powerless was down two tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo. The Blacklist returned to its 9pm slot for one week to be a lead-in to the spinoff but it couldn't do any better than its been doing at 10pm lately with a weak 0.9 demo. Then The Blacklist: Redemption premiered to a weak 0.8 demo. This might have been a good idea a couple years ago but people are pretty much over The Blacklist now so it's no surprise that the spinoff was ignored. On CBS, The Big Bang Theory was down a tenth in viewers and even in the demo while the next three sitcoms each slipped a tenth in the demo. In total viewers, The Great Indoors was down seven tenths while Mom and Life in Pieces were down three tenths. At 10pm, Training Day was down two tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo. Now that Doubt has been pulled, Training Day is probably safe to air out its full run.

On ABC, Grey's Anatomy was even in viewers and down a tenth in the demo. The two hour season finale of How to Get Away with Murder followed and was up two tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo. This show has declined of course but it quietly had a very steady year, never going lower than a 1.1 demo or higher than a 1.5 demo. It will most likely return in the same Thursday 10pm slot in Fall 2017. On FOX, Masterchef Junior was up a tenth in viewers and the demo while My Kitchen Rules was even. Finally on the CW, Supernatural was down two tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo while Riverdale sunk to its first 0.3 demo, dropping a tenth in viewers and the demo.

WINNER OF THE NIGHT: How to Get Away with Murder (ABC)
LOSER OF THE NIGHT: The Blacklist: Redemption (NBC)

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...
