On Thursday night, two new shows fell fractional while almost everything was down. FOX had the season premiere of Masterchef Junior and it delivered a solid 1.3 demo, beating NBC's entire lineup and the last couple episodes of Hell's Kitchen. This show does well wherever FOX puts it. It also helped My Kitchen Rules, which was back to its premiere rating, up three tenths in viewers and two tenths in the demo. On NBC, Superstore was down half a million viewers and a tenth in the demo. After an acceptable premiere last week, Powerless fell apart in week two, dropping six tenths in viewers and three tenths in the demo. Considering the low demo for The Good Place was a 1.0, this was a very disappointing second week and probably knocks it out of renewal conversation barring a surprising recovery. At 9pm, Chicago Med was down two tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo for a new series low while The Blacklist was down two tenths in viewers and even in the demo.

On CBS, The Big Bang Theory was down half a million viewers and a tenth in the demo for a season low. At 8:30pm. The Great Indoors was new for the first time in three weeks and was down four tenths in viewers and two tenths in the demo. At 9pm, Mom was down 1.1 million viewers and a tenth in the demo from last week, when it followed the strong preview of Superior Donuts. At 9:30pm, Life in Pieces was down half a million viewers and even in the demo. At 10pm, week two of Training Day was down three tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo. This show is already at the point where it's just riding out the string. On ABC, Grey's Anatomy was even in viewers and down two tenths in the demo, Scandal was down three tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo while How to Get Away with Murder was up two tenths in viewers and even in the demo. All three TGIT dramas were renewed on Friday for the 2017-18 season. Finally on the CW, Supernatural was even while Riverdale was even in viewers and up a tenth in the demo for an encouraging third week. Considering No Tomorrow only hit a 0.5 once and Frequency never did, the fact that Riverdale has twice now probably helps its renewal chances greatly.

WINNER OF THE NIGHT: Masterchef Junior (FOX)
LOSER OF THE NIGHT: Powerless (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...

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...
