The spring doldrums are definitely here with another bad night for the broadcast networks. FOX had the return of Brooklyn Nine-Nine after over three months off and it did not go well as the veteran comedy hit a new series low with a 0.7 demo. FOX has put a ton of shows on long hiatuses this year and that's always a risk, even for comedies. At 8:30pm, The Mick was up a tenth in viewers and even in the demo despite the lower lead-in. At 9pm, week two of Prison Break took a big tumble, falling six tenths in viewers and a rough four tenths in the demo from its premiere. This isn't surprising, but also not a good sign. NBC aired a clip show of The Voice, which did OK, but Trial & Error finally stabilized despite the lead-in drop. It was even in the demo for the 9pm episode and actually up a tenth in the demo at 9:30. It will air a special Thursday episode before the two episode season finale next week.

On ABC, The Middle was down two tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo for a series low. American Housewife also fell to a series low, dropping a tenth in viewers and the demo. At 9pm, Fresh Off the Boat was down a tenth in viewers and even in the demo. For whatever reason, this show has held up much better in recent weeks than the other comedies. Week two in its regular timeslot meant another drop for Imaginary Mary as it was down four tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo. It's basically the same as The Real O'Neals. At 10pm, Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. was up a tenth in viewers and even in the demo. Finally on the CW, iZombie followed a repeat of The Flash and was down a tenth in viewers and the demo to new series lows.

WINNER OF THE NIGHT: Fresh Off the Boat (ABC)
LOSER OF THE NIGHT: Brooklyn Nine-Nine (FOX)

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...

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...
