Weekly Nielsen Ratings: 1977-78 TV Season (UPDATED)

Below are the full weekly primetime Nielsen ratings results for the 1977-78 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 9 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, usually more half of the ratings data is available. Full rankings are available for each week except for July 2, 1978 and September 3, 1978 in which only the top 20 rankings are known.

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.

Ratings Archive by Program: Broadcast (2002-03 Season)

This post is features the full Nielsen ratings for all first-run regular Broadcast primetime programs that aired during the 2002-03 TV Season. For cable programs, I normally do a full "Ratings Recap" for each show, but because of the sheer volume of broadcast programs and episodes, it just isn't feasible to do that for every major broadcast program. Instead, I've taken all the data I've posted on the site and organized it by season and then by network in Google Sheets. Within each embedded sheet, programs are organized into tabs with their full season data available in each tab. For this season, HH data, A18-49 data, and viewership data is available for every first-run episode. There isn't any data here that isn't already posted in the weekly posts, but this is just a different way of looking at it.

Support My Work (and Pocketpiece Travel) on Patreon (If You Want)

I've been running this blog for nearly 8 years as a fun little side project and I've never really cared about monetizing it (and still don't!). I don't even want ads here (the Disqus ones are here against my will). I think it's so important to have this data be free & easily accessible to everyone as that's the exact reason I started it. 

My newest endeavor, the digitization of the Nielsen Pocketpieces, is proving to require a lot consistent travel as they are primarily housed in two libraries nowhere near me. If you have any interest in supporting either the work I've done/am doing/am going to do on the site and/or would like to support in the travel expenses (bus/train fares), I did finally break down and make a patreon. The link is here: https://patreon.com/RatingsRyan

Not really expecting much tbh, but quite literally anything is appreciated. Content on this site will always stay free and I'm excited about some of the things coming down the pipeline :)

Bravo's long-running 'Real Housewives' franchise began March 21, 2006 with the premiere of 'The Real Housewives of OC'.

The show steadily rose in the ratings over the next 4 seasons, ultimately peaking in its fifth season (2009-10) where it averaged a 1.1 rating & over 2 million viewers. It held at ~2M viewers for 2 more seasons before it began steadily declining, yet remaining above 1M viewers on-average through season 15. Its 16th season delivered its lowest numbers (850,000) since 2006, and a 17th season is expected to premiere in 2023.
