I don't disagree, but there's an argument for NBC's mid-80's Thursday of "Cosby Show", "Family Ties", "Cheers", "Night Court" and "Hill Street Blues"/"L.A. Law". Based solely on finish in the yearly ratings, '86 had NBC's lineup finishing the year #1-#2-#3-#7-#21 (L.A. Law) , while '73 CBS went #1-#4-#9-#12-#27. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1986%E2%80%9387_United_States_network_television_schedule and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1973%E2%80%9374_United_States_network_television_schedule) I think the quality of series is higher in '73, but the viewership should count for something. (Personally, I'd rather watch the '73 lineup.) -- -- TV or Not TV .... The Smartest (TV) People! You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TV or Not TV" group.
