Friday night brought three unscripted premieres. There weren't really any winners but there was definitely a clear loser and that was on FOX. On ABC, the Eric Stonestreet hosted The Toy Box premiered to 4.1 million viewers and a 0.8 demo. This was just a bit below recent numbers for the comedies in the hour. At 9pm, Shark Tank was new for the first time since February 24 and down a million viewers and two tenths in the demo, but that was a high showing back in February so this isn't bad especially with so many weeks off. At 10pm, 20/20 was up half a million viewers and even in the demo. CBS had their three dramas tie series lows in the demo. MacGyver was even, Hawaii Five-0 was up a tenth in viewers and even in the demo, and Blue Bloods was up two tenths in viewers and down a tenth in the demo.

On NBC, First Dates premiered to 3.8 million viewers and a 0.8 demo, which was almost exactly even with The Toy Box. I'd say this was more of an over-performance because The Toy Box is part of a better lineup and got more promotion. At 9pm, Dateline NBC was down seven tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo. On FOX, Rosewood was even to start the night. While The Toy Box and First Dates had passable performances, FOX's You the Jury was completely ignored with 1.5 million viewers and a 0.4 demo. It'll probably get to keep airing here and it's not too much lower than Sleepy Hollow, but it's still a bad performance. Finally on the CW, The Originals was up two tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo while Reign was even.

WINNER OF THE NIGHT: The Originals (CW)
LOSER OF THE NIGHT: You the Jury (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...
