I watched 8 out of the top 10 shows at that time. The only ones I didn't was 60 Minutes and the Monday Movie. lol

I see fans bailed on Laverne and Shirley when they moved to CA since the show fell to #20

It is interesting when you look at this because it is a lot like it is now. Not many Sitcoms and CBS rules the ratings and the Sitcoms Genre while NBC is nowhere to be found in the top 30. Also NBC did not have any successful Sitcoms that year or between 77-83.

Practically every one of those shows, except for House Calls, we watched and then I discovered them again in syndicated reruns. It's going to be interesting to see this list in another thirty years.
