If anyone has a question about ratings for a specific game show or Saturday morning cartoon, just ask. I will post when I can. Just list the title and the week you want me to check from 1980-1987.

Just gonna throw this out there (but it's actually for the 1990's)... would you happen to have available the Saturday morning pre-teen/teen shows of Saved By the Bell, California Dreams etc. in the 90's?  I'd be interested in seeing what kind of numbers those shows actually pulled in, especially considering they tried a short-lived primetime spinoff of SBTB ("The College Years") in 1993.

Sorry, just July 1979-September 1987 at the moment.

The first week of July in 1987 is the closet Marland's ATWT came to overthrow YR for #1. ATWT would hit #2 again but not as close numbers wise.

.9 rating difference the first week of July, but the week I just posted (last week of July 1987) ATWT was closer....just a .7 rating difference below YR.

Oops actually the end of July was the closest Marland came. I don't believe those ratings had been posted before.

AMC did tie YR in week one of August.

GL numbers in July were horrendous!

Got a game show. Press Your Luck for the week of June 11-15, 1984. The 2nd Michael Larson episode aired that Monday when he won $110,237.

@JAS0N47 How did the NBC shows do the week of August 1-5, 1983?  Bo and Hope were on fire on DAYS, AW had the expensive remote with the double wedding of Mac and Rachel and Sandy and Blaine, and SEARCH aired their live episode after the “infamous” and well publicized missing tape.  I would imagine the shows saw a bump in the ratings during this week.

No big change from the weeks before:
 
5/28/84-6/1/84...5.4/22
6/4/84-6/8/84...5.0/21
6/11/84-6/15/84...5.2/21
 
I saw those episodes on GSN. That's the guy who memorized the PYL board and knew exactly when to hit the button!

7/25/83-7/29/83:
Search 3.4/12
Days 6.4/20
AW 6.2/21
 
8/1/83-8/5/83:
Search 3.5/13
Days 6.3/20
AW 5.7/19
 
No bump. Search had .1 higher rating from the previous week. Days & AW dropped from the previous week.

Thanks so much for the info- surprised that DAYS and AW dropped the week of August 1st.  Interesting that AW was .2 points from DAYS rating the week of July 25th.  We will have to see if this is the closest AW was to being NBCs top rated soap again.

Please post for The Price is Right:

February 1-5, 1982

June 27-July 1, 1983

February 4-8, 1985

These three weeks had CBS soap themed showcases.

Thank you.
