Ratings from the 1990s
Not sure what series or episodes you are referring to. If you could please give me a specific series and airdate, I can get you those. I just happened across this thread today, haven't been following along much, but thought I'd post a few items to add to the conversation!

Ratings from the 1990s
You're welcome! I forgot to mention that the Nielsen books have the finalized ratings. The USA Today charts were published on Wednesdays right after the Nielsen week ended. Figures would still slightly change some up to a few weeks later, when the final books were published. So, if you notice discrepancies between USA Today's numbers (which are the unofficial "final" numbers), the Nielsen books depict the actual final ratings. For example, the only change in ratings on 5/9/91 between the USA Today chart and Nielsen book is The SImpsons, which had a 12.9 in USA Today but ended with a final rating of 13.0.

Ratings from the 1990s
That KL 2-hour finale on 5/9/91 built over the night from 11.6 to 12.6 to 13.0 to 13,9 to 15.3 to 15.7 to 16.0, although it did drop off a little in its last 15 minutes to 15.6. Dallas on 5/3/91 has these 15-minute ratings: 20.2, 21.4, 21,9, 22,5, 22.5, 22,1, 22,7, 22.5.

Been waiting to see those episodes too! In the meantime, here's Brooke's final episode (until she returns as Stephanie): FROM THE VAULT: EPISODE # 2939...JULY 11, 1977 Brooke is flooring the car accelerator, sirens in the background, vowing they're not going to stop her, as Ellen the hitchhiker begs her to slow down. Meanwhile, Jeri arrives at Brooke's apartment to find out why Trish was so upset earlier this evening. Trish tells her Brooke is in terrible trouble and they try to figure out what it's all about. Jeri is concerned about Trish, feels Trish shouldn't get mixed up in it but Trish continues to worry about Brooke. Jeri tries to calm her down and Trish asks Jeri to go with her to Doug's Place. It might help. At Doug's Place, Julie joins Bob at a table, sorry to see him so troubled, offers to be a good listener but he doesn't want to discuss it, came here in order not to be alone. Doug joins them for general conversation, then they both leave Bob. Doug tells Julie that Rebecca's very upset because Robert's told her about the court order and Doug thinks Julie should talk to her. He's suspicious Rebecca might try to steal little Dougie out from under Robert's nose tonight but Julie can't believe this. However, she agrees to talk to Rebecca. In Doug's family room, Rebecca is on the phone to Johnny telling him she won't be back tomorrow because Dougie has a cold. Julie enters and she and Rebecca talk about the court order. Julie defends Robert's position but Rebecca sees it differently, points out she could have just taken Dougie and gone. The conversation resolves nothing. Back in Doug's Place, Robert is telling Doug he's through being Mr. Nice Guy, won't let Rebecca take Dougie away. Doug agrees, looks up and sees Trish and Jeri enter. Doug tries to entice Trish to sing but she begs off, however Doug won't take no for an answer and Trish starts to sing. We see Bob feeling sad, also Robert, then Jeri who isn't too happy, then Doug who seems pleased to see Trish singing again. A lone State Trooper is following a distant car, is checking on the radio with headquarters, telling them he's picked up the car matching the description of the suspect's car, but the driver is failing to respond to the siren and he is pursuing, will report back. Meanwhile, Ellen the hitchhiker is getting very upset at Brooke's speeding, begs Brooke to pull over and stop but Brooke is sure she can lose the patrol car further up. At the lakehouse studio, Mary is pacing nervously as Neil tries to get her to call of the police but she has refused. They argue, but Mary is determined not to let Brooke get away with it. In the police car, the State Trooper reports on is radio that he's lost contact with the suspect's vehicle, will double back and try to pick her up again and asks for assistance and back-up. At Doug's Place, Doug and Trish are finishing up a duet. Bob asks Trish and Jeri to join him, apologizes to Trish for involving her in an unpleasant situation. Bob is shocked when Trish tells him Mary called the police after he left the apartment. Bob rushes out saying he has to stop them. Trish and Jeri wonder what's going on. Meanwhile, Brooke is triumphant, thinks she's lost the patrol car, and is confident she's going to get away with it, might just drive through the night, in fact, might drive her companion, Ellen, to California. But Ellen, just beginning to breathe again, says she's changed her mind, questions Brooke about what she's running from and informs Brooke she's like to get out at the next town. At Doug's Place, Bob is on the phone talking to the State Police Sergeant trying to convince him it was all a mistake. At the same time, Brooke is continuing to drive at breakneck speed, the hitchhiker is terrified, begs Brooke to stop, a siren is heard again faintly, Brooke starts to floor the accelerator, a curve comes up, screech of tires, a swerve and they go off the road. The State Trooper has seen this from a distance and slows down.

Brooke was 5/75-8/77. Looks like I have coverage of all but 27 episodes from 6/75-4/76 and 19 episodes from 6/76-9/76. So the only big months missing during Brooke's first 17 months on the show are 5/75 and 5/76. I also have her final script from 8/77. If there's any specific episode # you'd want me to post, I could do that when I have time. Or perhaps eventually I could do an outline of one episode per month so you could see more in-depth what Brooke was doing each month from 6/75-9/76.
