THE WEEK AHEAD: May 4-10, 2020

Here's a look at this week on TV!

ABC
ABC has several season finales this week and also has the second volume of the Disney Family Singalong airing on Mother's Day. The first edition, which aired on a Thursday a couple weeks ago, was a huge hit in the ratings. Can this one do the same? I'm sure it won't be quite as high.

 MONDAY
8:00 The Bachelor: Listen to Your Heart
10:00 The Baker and the Beauty

TUESDAY
8:00 The Conners (Season Finale)
8:30 Bless This Mess (Season Finale)

SUNDAY
7:00 The Disney Family Singalong Volume II (Special)
8:00 American Idol
10:00 The Rookie (Season Finale)

 CBS
CBS has a bunch of season finales this week, most of them due to their filming being cut short. Most notable is a remote episode of All Rise that has been developed specifically for the situation we're all in. Given All Rise's status as a bubble show, it could be a series finale.

 MONDAY
8:00 The Neighborhood
8:30 The Neighborhood (Season Finale)
9:00 All Rise (Season Finale)
10:00 Bull (Season Finale)

TUESDAY
8:00 NCIS (Repeat)

SUNDAY
7:00 Little Big Shots
8:00 The Wall
9:00 Zoey's Extraordinary Playlist (Repeat)
10:00 Good Girls (Repeat)

 FOX
FOX also has a mix of new episodes and repeats. They were fortunate that The Masked Singer had wrapped production before the shutdown. I'm not sure how that show could have done remote performances the way The Voice and American Idol have.

 MONDAY
8:00 9-1-1 (Season Finale)
9:00 9-1-1: Lone Star (Repeat)

TUESDAY
8:00 The Masked Singer (Repeat)

8:00 The Simpsons
8:30 Duncanville
9:00 Bob's Burgers
9:30 Family Guy

 CW
The CW is also a mix of new episodes and repeats. Thursday has the season finale of Katy Keene, the only in-season show not yet renewed by the CW (aside from those with planned final seasons). It has terrible ratings but that hasn't stopped the CW from renewing other shows.

 MONDAY
8:00 Whose Line is it Anyway?
8:30 Whose Line is it Anyway? (Repeat)
9:00 Roswell, New Mexico

TUESDAY
8:00 The Flash
9:00 DC's Legends of Tomorrow

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...
