I stand corrected.

Actually. The end of Here's Lucy reruns marked the first time that Lucy wasn't represented on the overall CBS schedule.

That's a fun stat. So, you mean it was on continuously on CBS in either the daytime, weekend or primetime slots from the 1950's to 1977?  Quite a run!

SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE: A LOOK AT ITS 1970'S RATINGS:

 

Although not a daytime show, SNL has not had much coverage of its ratings data, so for SNL fans, here's a highlight look at the 1976-1979 years.

 

Note: The last commercial break and final act of SNL are usually not rated, so that's why the end times differ for each episode.

I had to look up TVTV.

Pittsburgh Post Gazette -- "Here's a program that aims at a satirical glimpse of the typical American family, so-called, and how they react when they're transformed from TV watchers to TV participants."

IMDB -- "Sketch comedy and news parody from the counterculture TV unit."

Ecclectic cast and crew, as was the norm for most Groove Tube/SCTV variants in that era.
