THE WEEK AHEAD: January 27-February 2, 2020

Here's a look at this week on TV!

ABC
ABC has a pretty normal week. The season finale of Emergence is on Tuesday night. It could very well be a series finale because of their low-rated drama newbies, I think Stumptown has a better shot at renewal.

8:30 Bless This Mess

CBS has a mix of repeats and new episodes this week. They also have a season finale in Evil. It has already been renewed for a second season, though it wouldn't totally shock me to see that second season wind up on CBS All Access.

10:00 Bull (Repeat)

10:00 Ellen's Game of Games (Repeat)

 FOX
FOX is the network with the Super Bowl so all eyes will be on them on Sunday night. While it will of course be the highest rated event of the year, it wouldn't shock me to see the ratings down a little bit with a matchup between two teams that may not draw as much interest as one of TV's top teams (like the Cowboys, Packers or Steelers) or NFL's top villains (like the Patriots). The third edition of The Masked Singer follows and should be an improvement on The World's Best from last year as a post-Super Bowl show.

 MONDAY
8:00 9-1-1: Lone Star
9:00 Prodigal Son

TUESDAY
8:00 The Resident
9:00 Gordon Ramsay's 24 Hours to Hell and Back

9:00 Last Man Standing (Repeat)
9:30 Outmatched (Repeat)

THURSDAY
8:00 Last Man Standing
8:30 Outmatched
9:00 Deputy

FRIDAY
8:00 WWE Smackdown

SATURDAY
8:00 NFL Honors (Special)

SUNDAY
7:00 Super Bowl LIV: Kansas City vs. San Francisco
10:30 The Masked Singer (Edition Premiere)

 CW
The CW says goodbye to Arrow this week after eight seasons and 170 episodes. It shouldn't be discounted what an influential show this has been on the CW. When it started, the CW was the network of Gossip Girl and The Vampire Diaries. It has since morphed into a network that has the DC Empire all over it. For good or bad, it has played a huge role in where the network has gone this decade.

 MONDAY
8:00 All American
9:00 Black Lightning

TUESDAY
8:00 Arrow: Hitting the Bullseye (Special)
9:00 Arrow (SERIES FINALE)

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...

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...
