On Tuesday night, Bones signed off of FOX after 12 years. It was up eight tenths in viewers and two tenths in the demo for a small finale bounce. This is a show that hung around too long but it got a final go-round for the longtime fans. FOX doesn't need Bones anymore but they could definitely use a show that is a utility player like Bones was for so long. Earlier in the night for FOX, New Girl was up two tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo while The Mick was up a tenth in viewers and the demo. It was a solid night for CBS. At 8pm, NCIS was up two tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo. Bull aired a new episode for the first time in nearly a month and was up half a million viewers and even in the demo for a sixth straight episode. At 10pm, NCIS: New Orleans was down eight tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo from its two hour episode that aired two weeks ago.

On NBC, The Voice was down six tenths in viewers and two tenths in the demo. After an OK second week, it was not a good third week for Trial & Error. The new comedy was down two tenths in the demo for the 9pm episode and three tenths in the demo for the 9:30pm episode to a weak 0.8. I know The Voice is getting weaker each week but this needs to be doing than a 0.8 demo just half an hour after The Voice. At 10pm, Chicago Fire was down half a million viewers and a tenth in the demo to tie a series low last set in February 2015. On the CW, The Flash was down three tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo to tie a series low while DC's Legends of Tomorrow was down a tenth in viewers and the demo. Finally on ABC, the last scheduled airing of People Icons was down 1.1 million viewers and two tenths in the demo. Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. returns to this slot next week.

WINNER OF THE NIGHT: Bones (FOX)
LOSER OF THE NIGHT: Trial & Error (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...
