Past FOX predictions: 2018 2017 2016 2015 2014 2013 2012 2011

MONDAYS
8:00 The Resident
9:00 9-1-1
I think FOX is going to be pretty conservative in the fall given how they were last year. So I think Mondays stay exactly the same with The Resident and 9-1-1. If that happens, that would be a missed opportunity but it sounds like FOX.

TUESDAYS
8:00 The Masked Singer
9:00 NEXT
I think FOX should hold The Masked Singer until midseason and give it a post-Super Bowl launch. I think it is possible they do that, but I also think it's possible they won't be able to stop themselves and put it on the air in the fall. If they do that, I think they'll try one of their new dramas after it.

WEDNESDAYS
8:00 Empire
9:00 FILTHY RICH
I think Empire will keep the Wednesday 8pm slot but lead into Filthy Rich, which seems like a pretty compatible partnership.

THURSDAYS
8:00 Thursday Night Football
I feel good about this prediction!

FRIDAYS
8:00 WWE Smackdown
And this one!

SATURDAYS
8:00 FOX Sports Saturday

SUNDAYS
7:00 NFL Overrun/The OT/Animated Encores
8:00 The Simpsons
8:30 Bob's Burgers
9:00 Family Guy
9:30 DUNCANVILLE
I think FOX will be less aggressive than they need to be on Sundays and just put one of their new animated comedies at the 9:30pm slot. That won't be the best move for it, but I think that's what they will do.

MIDSEASON: BLESS THE HARTS, DEPUTY, GENIUSES, PRODIGAL SON, Gordon Ramsay's 24 Hours to Hell and Back, Last Man Standing, Hell's Kitchen, Masterchef Junior, The Orville

CANCELLED/ENDED: The Cool Kids, The Gifted, Gotham, Lethal Weapon, Mental Samurai, The Passage, Proven Innocent, Rel, Star

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...
