Neil Posted July 18, 2019 Report Share Posted July 18, 2019 Love this thread! Harry will probably know but I don't think an 18.1 rating is a time slot winner. (Considering Here's Lucy ended its run at #29 with a 20.0 rating). Too bad because "Gets Lucky" is my favorite of all Lucy's "experiments" of the 70s. I STILL say a conservatively administered laugh track would have helped the show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freddie2 Posted July 18, 2019 Report Share Posted July 18, 2019 Perusing through this thread made me remember something: I'm certain I once saw a TV Guide ratings list that said that in 1989-90, Bob Hope's Love Affair, Very First Show, and Christmas Special all made it into the top five most-watched specials of the year. This makes me curious to know how Calls The President and Nashville did in the ratings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will Posted July 20, 2019 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2019 https://www.sitcomsonline.com/boards/archive/index.php/t-264249.html. Someone here a aid Lucy Comes to Nashville got a 20.2 rating and 28% share but was against War and Rememberance so it sounds like it didn't win its timeslot. I found Lucy Calls the President got #12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found Lucy Calls the President got #12 I looked it up and "Lucy Calls the President" aired on Monday night November 21, 1977. Does anyone know what time? I'm not sure but am thinking 10pm, pre-empting the short-lived show "Rafferty". For the first time in a long time, CBS's Monday night was in a shambles. "Young Dan'l Boone" at 8. From 9 to 10 was "The Betty White Show" (half a season) and "Maude" in its final very low rated year---which makes "President"'s #12 more impressive. In fact, 90% of the entire 77-78 schedule on all 3 networks was dreadful. With an exception or two, there are no shows I would have watched.
