Saturday Retro Fact.......Numbers for Julie Returns Part 1 and 2

[TVFactFan]

The numbers for Part 1 and 2.

Part 1 ranked#16

Part 2 ranked #4

Kind of surprising numbers. You would think it would be reversed. Why would so many not be eager to see Julie return and then all the interest in Part 2??

Was there anything major on another network up against part one, like a sporting event or some big special?

Nope just a episode of Chips on NBC and FBI show on ABC

Then it’s a mystery. I don’t see a reason why part two would have done so much better than part one. I assume CBS and the entertainment press back then would have done a heavy job of promoting the return, so most viewers would have known it was coming.

There wasnt a lot of hype about it from scanning several newspapers. This was the only big promo I seen about the ep which was in a Cleveland newspaper

Wonder if It was hyped up in TV Guide

What I can find is she did end up on the cover of the Canadian TV Guide that week but not the U.S. one.

Both covers below:

Guess it will always be a mystery. If part 1 was 16th I expected part 2 to be 33
