TV Ratings From The 80's - Check How FOL Did

[U2baby]

Picked this info up on a Knots Landing site, interesting to see just how much TV has changed and where FOL was. I loved so many of these shows, TV was fun then. Now it's all crime and law or mostly bad comedies... not that crime/law shows can't be good... but I want some lighthearted, kitschy fun back.
