TV NEWS & THOUGHTS
- ABC has handed a full season order to The Rookie. The Tuesday cop drama has done okay in its difficult slot. It has basically performed similarly to other ABC 10pm dramas A Million Little Things and How to Get Away with Murder.

- ABC also handed full season orders to Tuesday comedies The Kids Are Alright and Splitting Up Together. It will be a full 22 episode season for Kids, but 18 episodes for Splitting. Still, this is a vote of confidence for the Tuesday lineup as a whole and ABC didn't have much comedy on the bench. It seems likely that Schooled will replace The Conners as everything else has a full season now on Tuesday and Wednesday.

- NBC announced plans for Thursdays at midseason. FOX transplant Brooklyn Nine-Nine will premiere on January 10 and take over the Thursdays 9PM timeslot following The Titan Games, which will now air on Thursdays instead of Wednesdays (presumably to keep #OneChicago in tact all season). The Good Place will follow at 9:30pm for three weeks and then Will & Grace will take over the 9:30pm slot starting January 31. Superstore will go on hiatus and return in March (not confirmed but likely with the new Abby's). Meanwhile, freshman comedy I Feel Bad will not get a back order. It's not officially cancelled, but that's obviously pretty close to a final nail in the coffin.

- Continuing NBC midseason plans, The Blacklist will have its season premiere on Friday, January 4 at 8pm with a two hour episode. It will settle into its 9pm timeslot the next week.

- ABC has yanked The Alec Baldwin Show off of Sunday nights and will burn off episodes on Saturdays starting in December. This is essentially the first cancellation of the season and Baldwin's recent arrest didn't help matters. Repeats of Shark Tank will take over the 10pm slot.

- The CW handed extended episode orders to all three freshmen dramas. Charmed will get a full season of 22 episodes while All American and Legacies have gained three additional episodes each. All three dramas have had positive and negative ratings moments.

- In an unsurprising move, NBC announced the cancellation of the low-rated summer drama Reverie.

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...

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...

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...
