On Thursday night, ABC saw small gains for its veteran dramas and their big episodes. Grey's Anatomy was down a tenth in viewers and up a tenth in the demo. The 100th episode of Scandal followed and was up three tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo. Yes, it went up but this was a heavily promoted episode and it could only go up a tenth. Scandal's ceiling seems to be getting lower and lower. At 10pm, The Catch was down four tenths in viewers and even in the demo. On CBS, The Big Bang Theory was down 1.1 million viewers and two tenths in the demo for a new series low. The Great Indoors was down seven tenths in viewers and two tenths in the demo. Mom was down six tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo while Life in Pieces was down three tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo. At 10pm, The Amazing Race was up two tenths in viewers but down a tenth in the demo.

On NBC, a special airing of Trial & Error led off the night and definitely hurt its already small chances for a renewal with a series low 0.6 demo. At 8:30pm, Powerless was even. Despite anemic 0.6 demo lead-ins, Chicago Med was up two tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo for a solid 1.1. This show has really been up and down in terms of its performance this spring. At 10pm, the season finale of The Blacklist: Redemption was up two tenths in viewers and even in the demo. Aside from one Voice-fueled night, it got 0.7 or 0.8 demos for its entire run. I doubt it comes back for a second season. On FOX, Masterchef Junior was up a tenth in viewers and even in the demo while Kicking & Screaming was down a tenth in viewers and the demo for a new series low. Finally on the CW, Supernatural and Riverdale were both even.

WINNER OF THE NIGHT: Chicago Med (CBS)
LOSER OF THE NIGHT: Trial & Error (NBC)

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...
