Thanks @Soapsuds
Those Feb 2 ratings were an anomaly as CBS showed a 3 hr Shakeseare production.
Viewers switched in droves to the opposition with the ABC sitcoms hitting best numbers of the season and even a dud like Circle of Fear doing well.
NBC were reluctant to break up the Sanford/Chico duo but had they moved Chico to 9 they could have introduced new sitcoms at 8.30 and 9.30 which would have benefited the overall schedule as NBC had no other sitcoms and that was pretty much what gave CBS and then ABC the winning edge.
