I haven't been able to find this on my own. Does anyone know what the show's ratings were from 57-63? I was somewhat suprised when I learned it never ranked above 25. Ratings really are the pits sometimes. Some of the best shows (and clearly ones that become popular in reruns) just didn't chart well in their originally run.

Check out http://www.chez.com/fbibler/tvstats/ratings_us_index.html It has the top 30 for each year.

Decent. I only could find websites with ratings that showed 25 or better and tvtome.com said it never charted above that. Thanks for the website.

Yeah, you would have thought that Leave It To Beaver would've gotten better ratings than that. I mean, look at its popularity over the years...even today! It's still a very popular show, otherwise it wouldn't be on TV Land today. :)

You said it! The show has done great in reruns. I mean look at all the fans there are at this board. It's one of the two most active boards I go to! I checked out that website with the top 30-sometimes top 32 from 57-63 and it wasn't even on that list once. Well, that just shows ratings aren't everything. I'm just glad it lasted as long as it did.
