View Full Version : Where are archived Nielsen ratings?
TALLguyinKY 05-24-2006, 07:07 PM There are several TV shows whose Nielsen ratings I would love to look up (especially '80s shows), and I know some are available online, but I can't find anything by Googling.
Someone at the "Who's the Boss?" board posted the Nielsen ratings for that show recently, but they couldn't remember where they found it online.
If anyone knows where to look up old Nielsen TV ratings---especially '80s ones---I'd appreciate it!

TALLguyinKY 05-24-2006, 07:43 PM Oh wow, THANK you! :D

BuddyHinton 06-05-2006, 01:22 PM How accurate is this? I don't see the Brady Bunch on any list from 69-74? I thought it was a top rated show even up till its demise?
Pavan 06-05-2006, 01:49 PM Brady Bunch was more popular in reruns than its original run.
TVFactFan 06-05-2006, 01:55 PM I think the poster wants to know where online can he find the ratings for shows beyond the top 30? I think that is what he is asking
TVFactFan 06-05-2006, 01:55 PM Oh wow, THANK you! :D

All you wanted was the top 30?
BuddyHinton 06-05-2006, 02:46 PM Oh no. I thought for sure the Bradys were in the top 10 at least. Guess I was wrong?
TVFactFan 06-05-2006, 02:49 PM Oh no. I thought for sure the Bradys were in the top 10 at least. Guess I was wrong?
Not if the Bradys was going up against sanford and son they wouldn;t have been in the top ten
BuddyHinton 06-05-2006, 04:04 PM Was Sanford and Son 10 shows? I don't understand that point.
TVFactFan 06-05-2006, 04:16 PM Was Sanford and Son 10 shows? I don't understand that point.
Sanford and Son was on at the same time as the Brady Bunch on Friday Nights

He meant Sanford & Son was directly up against Brady Bunch on Friday nights (8pm Eastern/7 Central), and Sanford & Son was usually in the top 10 in the ratings and at it's peak was the #2 show on all of TV behind only All In The Family. Brady Bunch never even sniffed the top 30, but still lasted 5 seasons because ABC was still perennially the third-place network. And a good site for nightly ratings going all the way back to 1983 (and some from earlier) is http://TVtango.com

Wow...that's awesome.
Thank you.
I spent around 3 hours over there already.
I actually think I came across the site before...but I don't recall seeing so many post top 30 results.
The only unfortunate portion of the site is from the early 2000's, when it switches over from "total viewers" to "18-49" which seems odd since the networks have been quietly courting the latter since the late 60's.
Oh well! Good stuff.
You WIN post of the day :)
