THE WEEK AHEAD: February 19-25, 2018

Here's a look at Week #22! It's another week of the Winter Olympics with very little on the other networks except some finales of some winter shows including The Amazing Race, Big Brother: Celebrity Edition, and The Bachelor: Winter Games. It's also the season finale for Shark Tank next Sunday against the Closing Ceremony. NBC is airing another preview episode of A.P. Bio during the Closing Ceremony, but it didn't get much traction on a Thursday preview earlier this month.

TV NEWS & THOUGHTS
- The CW announced that it will expand its programming to Sundays for the first time since the 2008-09 season, when they dropped to five nights a week. They will now broadcast Sunday-Friday from 8-10pm. This comes after 9 pilots were ordered by the CW and they have been renewing more shows recently. I wouldn't be surprised if something like the planned and hyped Charmed reboot is what they target for Sundays.

- After sitting on it for several months, NBC has renewed summer drama Midnight, Texas for a second season. I'd imagine they are planning it for summer again.

- FOX has renewed So You Think You Can Dance for a 15th season. The long running reality competition was on the bubble and has aired in every imaginable slot and time of year, but will be back again this summer.

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...

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...
