Members TVFAN1144 Posted September 5, 2023 Members Share Posted September 5, 2023 House Party did well in the ratings. That would change after moving it to 4 to accommodate the expanded TGL at 2:30 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JAS0N47 Posted October 11, 2023 Members Share Posted October 11, 2023 Unfortunately, the primetime ratings are coming in first for the 1960's and 1970's, so we still have to wait awhile for the daytime batch, but in the meantime, here's a look at the primetime ratings on the day that "Days of Our Lives" premiered, 11/8/65...

Members DM James Fairbanks Posted March 21 Members Share Posted March 21 LIAMST was doing great until David Birney, Donna Mills and Leslie Charleston left in the span of four month. That is what gave DOOL the edge to take it over. Though Mills was planning on leaving, Birney left when CBS offered him a salary reduction at contract renewal, though he was the hottest actor in daytime (yes, above Reinholt and Frid). Replying to Paul Raven's post: August 66 ABC replaced Confidential for Women with Dating Game at 2pm and it became the best rating ABC show since GH. Within weeks it was beating Password 35 share to 28 and that was with lower clearances than GH. And then Days took off on NBC so CBS dumped Password for Love Is A Many Splendored Thing. The first chink in the CBS armor. What really killed Password was not DOOL, but the Dating Game. And that happened because CBS and NBC carried a press conference on the Vietnam War, but ABC aired the premier of Dating Game. That gave Dating Game it's audience as it was so different than anything on the air. Also, that lead to Newlywed Game that was another hit. Then add CBS's mismanagement of LIAMST, WTHI, TSS and LOL and you see why the castle crumbled. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members te. Posted March 21 Members Share Posted March 21 If I'm reading that chart right a 22.2 rating for Peyton Place translated into an audience of 11 940 000 viewers. It means that in the mid-60s a ratings point was somewhere around 500-600k. It makes me even more interesting to see how the actual audience numbers translates from ratings since it often gives the impression that viewers were dropping off these shows rather than them being unable to grow. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
