APPENDIX 3
TOP-RATED PROGRAMS BY SEASON

The following are listings of the top-rated evening series during each season, ranked by audience size. The Nielsen rating is the percent of all TV-equipped homes tuned to the program on an average night, as measured by Nielsen Media Research. Thus a rating of 61.6 for the Texaco Star Theater from 1950-1951 means that on the average, 61.6 percent of all homes that had a TV were tuned to this show.

A. C. Nielsen changed its system of computing ratings in 1960, so ratings prior to and after that date are not precisely comparable. It should also be noted that since the Nielsen system is basically a service for advertisers, only sponsored programs are measured. However, it is unlikely that any unsponsored series (usually public affairs or news) has ever regularly achieved audience levels comparable to those of the commercial programs shown here.
