It was a rough Tuesday night for NBC. At 8pm, The Voice was down eight tenths in viewers and two tenths in the demo to tie a series low set last year this same week. Then Great News completely tumbled in its second week with each episode dropping four tenths in the demo from last week. This was a show that seemed like it might make things interesting in the renewal discussion last week but now it looks like it's knocked itself out of the conversation as it has already dipped lower than any Tuesday airing of Trial & Error. At 10pm, Chicago Fire doubled its lead-in in the demo but was still down eight tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo for a series low. On CBS, NCIS was down four tenths in viewers but up two tenths in the demo for a nice rebound from its series low two weeks ago. Bull was up half a million viewers and a tenth in the demo. Despite the two lead-ins being up, NCIS: New Orleans tumbled 1.5 million viewers and a tenth in the demo.

On ABC, The Middle was down two tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo for a series low. American Housewife was down a tenth in viewers and even in the demo. This is the first time it has tied its lead-in since Valentine's Day. At 9pm, Fresh Off the Boat was down four tenths in viewers and even in the demo. Despite having new lead-ins, Imaginary Mary was down three tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo. Like Great News, this probably seals its fate. At 10pm, Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. was even. It was series lows across the board for FOX starting with Brooklyn Nine-Nine falling two tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo. The season finale of The Mick was down four tenths in viewers and two tenths in the demo to go out on a bad note. Due to its production schedule, it will not return until midseason. At 9pm, Prison Break was down four tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo. Finally on the CW, The Flash was even. It tied or beat nine of the fifteen shows on the big four broadcast networks. iZombie was down a tenth in viewers and even in the demo at 9pm.

WINNER OF THE NIGHT: NCIS (CBS)
LOSER OF THE NIGHT: Great News (NBC)

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...

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...
