Ratings question

[Madness]

Does anyone know from year to year what networks were #1 from about 1980-the 1990's? I would say NBC probably had most of the victories in the 80's due to the Cosby Show but I'm not sure.

Thanks

CBS WAS THE NUMBER ONE NETWORK FROM 1979 TO 1985 & FROM 1985 TO 1991 NBC WAS THE NUMBER ONE NETWORK.I THINK ABC WAS THE NUMBER ONE NETWORK FROM 1991 TO 1994.I THINK NBC WAS NUMBER ONE NETWORK MOST SEASONS AFTER 1994.

ABC had to be #1 from 1976-1980 they had Three's Company, Happy Days and Laverne & Shirley!

CBS maybe 71-76

NBC from 82 and on since Cheers, Family Ties and later Cosby Show...

ABC WAS NUMBER FROM 1976-1979.
ABC FELL APART IN 1979 WHEN IT MOVED MORK & MINDY FROM THURSDAY NIGHTS TO SUNDAY NIGHTS & IT MOVED FANTASY ISLAND FROM SATURDAY NIGHTS AT 10:OOPM TO FRIDAY NIGHTS AT 8:00 PM.
NBC WAS'NT NUMBER ONE UNTIL 1985.IT TOOK A FEW SEASONS FOR CHEERS AND FAMILY TIES TO FIND AN AUDIENCE.IN 1985 WHEN NBC PUT GOLDEN GIRLS ON SATURDAY NIGHTS AT 9:00 PM IN 1985 NBC SHOT TO NUMBER ONE IN THE RATINGS AND STAYED THERE FOR SIX YEARS.
CBS WAS THE NUMBER ONE NETWORK FROM 1956 TO 1976 AND AGAIN FROM 1979 TO 1985 POWERED BY SUCH HITS AS DALLAS,M*A*S*H,MAGNUM P.I,SIMON AND SIMON,KNOTS LANDING,DUKES OF HAZZARD,FALCON CREST,60 MINUTES,ARCHIE BUNKER PLACE,ONE DAY AT A TIME,ALICE,THE JEFFERSONS AND TRAPPER JOHN M.D!
