It was a pretty ugly night all the way around on Thursday. ABC had its new TGIT lineup and The Catch was a big step down from How to Get Away with Murder. First up though, Grey's Anatomy was down four tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo to tie a series low it has hit twice before. At 9pm, Scandal hit an outright series low, dropping eight tenths in viewers and two tenths in the demo. This show seemed to be on the upswing before a two week break that seemed to dull some momentum. Then The Catch returned and it is certainly a weak link with a 0.8 demo. It got a surprise renewal last year despite low numbers and now it tied its series low with this premiere. I'm sure this will air through the rest of the season but I can't imagine ABC giving it another reprieve. Over on FOX, Masterchef Junior was up two tenths in viewers and even in the demo. The series premiere of the new Kicking and Screaming was no different from the just ended My Kitchen Rules so it was a pretty even swap.

On CBS, The Big Bang Theory was down three tenths in viewers and even in the demo. It was a bad night for The Great Indoors, which was down three tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo, retaining only 50% of the Big Bang audience. At 9pm, Mom was down a tenth in viewers and even in the demo while Life in Pieces was the only show on any network to rise from its last airing as it was up a tenth in viewers and the demo. At 10pm, Training Day was down three tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo. On NBC, Superstore was a repeat and the rest of the lineup had a rough outing. Powerless was up a tenth in viewers and even in the demo. Without The Voice as a lead-in, Chicago Med plummeted 2.5 million viewers and six tenths in the demo to tie a series low. This show can succeed in a good situation but it hasn't had that on Thursdays. At 10pm, The Blacklist: Redemption was also hit hard from a much lower lead-in. It was down 1.1 million viewers and three tenths in the demo. Not surprisingly, this is looking like a dead show. Finally on the CW, Supernatural hit a new series low, dropping a tenth in viewers and the demo. Newly renewed Riverdale held up well though as it dropped a tenth in viewers but was even in the demo.

WINNER OF THE NIGHT: Life in Pieces (CBS)
LOSER OF THE NIGHT: The Catch (ABC)

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...
