Highest Rated Episodes/Weeks of Each Show?

[Pine Charles]

AMC hit #1 again for a week in late 1987 - I believe in either November or December.

I’m fairly certain this was the week the verdict was read in Ross Chandler’s trial for the rape of Natalie.

Thanks for those HH vs. total viewer comparisons.  Comparing Nielsen ratings by decade is like comparing the cost of living over the years without factoring in inflation.

Of the lesser successful soaps, does anyone know what was the highest rating Loving ever achieved?

There is NO evidence out there to back up the claim that Steve & Betsy’s wedding on ATWT got 20 million viewers. The show wasn’t even #1 that week! 
Take heart. By now, that wedding has had more than 20 million viewers via youtube, etc. They just didn’t have 20 million viewers the week that it aired.

I’ve shared before how I was always skeptical regarding that claim.

This is my ratings archive page, if you have yet to see it, for anyone interested!

 

The household ratings for pretty much every week from 1989 covering through when SON started listing them on a complete basis.

 

I scanned in every Soap Weekly chart a few years back and posted them.
