UPFRONTS 2019: What NBC Will Do

Last week, I offered my suggestion for NBC. Here's my NBC prediction!

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

MONDAYS
8:00 The Voice
10:00 PRISM
Prism seems to be getting mixed buzz on pilot buzz articles but I think it is ultimately the show that will end up getting the always desired post-Voice slot in the fall. I am more sure that it wont be Manifest than I am which new drama it will be.

TUESDAYS
8:00 The Voice/New Amsterdam
9:00 This is Us
10:00 COUNCIL OF DADS
I think NBC will try to cut down on their Tuesday airings of The Voice as they did this spring so I think they might try to pair it with New Amsterdam and let This is Us lead into the buzzed about Council of Dads.

WEDNESDAYS
8:00 Chicago Med
9:00 Chicago Fire
10:00 Chicago PD
I did not think NBC would ever put all the Chicago shows together but now that they have, I'd be surprised if they broke it up after one year.

THURSDAYS
8:00 Superstore
8:30 THE KENAN SHOW
9:00 Will & Grace
9:30 The Good Place
10:00 Law & Order: SVU
I think NBC will try The Kenan Show as their new fall comedy and I could see them putting it after Superstore while sliding The Good Place to 9:30pm and holding Brooklyn Nine-Nine for midseason again.

FRIDAYS
8:00 Manifest
9:00 The Blacklist
10:00 Dateline NBC
A lot of suggestions and predictions have Manifest going to Fridays and I think they will in fact do that and pair it with The Blacklist.

SATURDAYS
8:00 Encores

SUNDAYS
7:00 Football Night in America
8:30 Sunday Night Football
Of course.

MIDSEASON: BLUFF CITY LAW, PERFECT HARMONY, SUNNYSIDE, ZOEY'S EXTRAORDINARY PLAYLIST, America's Got Talent: The Champions, Brooklyn Nine-Nine, Ellen's Game of Games, Good Girls, World of Dance

CANCELLED/ENDED: A.P. Bio, Abby's, Blindspot, The Enemy Within, I Feel Bad, Midnight Texas, The Titan Games, The Village

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...
