Nielsen Pocketpiece: July 1951 - 2nd Report

Below is a full Nielsen pocketpiece covering the 2nd half of July 1951. It features the complete Nielsen ratings for all television programs airing in the 2 weeks ending July 21, 1951. Unfortunately, the only records I've been able to find of Pocketpieces from prior to November 1954 exist on Microfilm, so the quality of the scans is not as good as in the later years. This was the best quality, highest-resolution quality scan I was able to get, so anything that is not legible here was also not legible through the microfilm reader.

Weekly Nielsen Ratings: 1978-79 TV Season (UPDATED)

Below are the full weekly primetime Nielsen ratings results for the 1978-79 television season. Data comes from the Nielsen pocketpieces which were very graciously transcribed by an anonymous contributor. There are tabs available for each of the season's 52 weeks with the Household rating, share, and impressions available for nearly every primetime program. There are 7 incomplete weeks of the season where I am missing the associated pocketpiece, so the data provided comes from a variety of sources including Newspaper lists, and trade publication articles. In those weeks, about half of the ratings data is available. Full pocketpieces have been recovered and all weeks have complete data.

This article previously only consisted of Newspaper scans to tell the story of this season's ratings, and those scans are still provided at the bottom of this article in case people want to see them. In some cases, the data in the Newspapers will slightly differ from the ratings in the pocketpiece  because the newspaper data is based off of Fast National data while the pocketpieces are from finalized data. The pocketpiece data should be considered more accurate and the raw scans of them are all available under the "Pocketpiece" tab.
