In what was arguably one of the worst ratings nights ever for the broadcast networks, only two regularly scheduled series were above a 1.0 demo. One of the two shows that didn't go fractional was 60 Minutes, which was still down big from last week's basketball lead-in edition. It led into the Academy of Country Music Awards, which was down a bit from last year but looked like the Super Bowl against the carnage on the other networks. On ABC, Once Upon a Time was down a tenth in viewers and the demo. Match Game replaced the cancelled Time After Time. It hit a new series low at a 0.6 demo, but it was an improvement on Time. I think ABC would have been better off putting this at 8pm and moving Once to 9pm. It would have probably helped Match and not hurt Once. At 10pm, American Crime was up two tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo from last week's series low.

On NBC, Little Big Shots was the other regularly scheduled show above a 1.0 demo but it tumbled a big 1.1 million viewers and four tenths in the demo for a series low. At 9pm, Chicago Justice was up a tenth in viewers and down a tenth in the demo. After never doing it before, two Chicago shows have fallen below a 1.0 demo in a matter of four days. At 10pm, Shades of Blue was down three tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo for a series low. Finally on FOX, Bob's Burgers was down four tenths in viewers and two tenths in the demo from last week's one hour episode. At 8pm, The Simpsons was down three tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo for its first ever trip into fractional numbers. Making History was down two tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo and The Last Man on Earth was down three tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo.

WINNER OF THE NIGHT: Academy of Country Music Awards (CBS)
LOSER OF THE NIGHT: Bob's Burgers (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...
