Weekly Nielsen Ratings: 1964-65 TV Season

Below is a collection of scans of the Nielsen pocketpieces covering the the 1964-65 TV season. It features the complete primetime broadcast Nielsen ratings for all programs airing from August 31, 1964 through April 18, 1965. The week of Dec. 21-27, 1964 was a black week and not measured by Nielsen. I do not currently have any scans for the summer portion of the season. The grids report both the "Total Audience" and the "Average Audience" but Average Audience is the standard Nielsen metric that should be used.

Below is a full Nielsen pocketpiece covering the 2nd half of October 1954. It features the complete Nielsen ratings for all television programs airing in the 2 weeks ending October 23, 1954. 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: 1972-73 TV Season

Below is a collection of scans of the Nielsen pocketpieces covering the the 1972-73 TV season. It features the complete primetime broadcast Nielsen ratings for all programs airing from September 4, 1972 through April 22, 1973.

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.

Weekly Nielsen Ratings: 1980-81 TV Season (UPDATED)

Below are the full weekly primetime Nielsen ratings results for the 1980-81 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 53 weeks with the Household rating, share, and impressions available for every primetime program that aired. Shares were not available for several programs that aired in the week of Aug. 24-30, 1981 as the Fast Weekly Household Report for that week is missing.

Weekly Nielsen Ratings: 1963-64 TV Season

Below is a collection of scans of the Nielsen pocketpieces covering the the 1963-64 TV season. It features the complete primetime broadcast Nielsen ratings for all programs airing from September 2, 1963 through April 19, 1963. The week of Dec. 23-29, 1963 was a black week and not measured by Nielsen. I do not currently have any scans for the summer portion of the season. The grids report both the "Total Audience" and the "Average Audience" but Average Audience is the standard Nielsen metric that should be used. No ratings data is available for Primetime portions of Nov. 22-25, 1963 due to coverage of the Kennedy assassination.

Due to the tight binding of the scans, "average audience" ratings for NBC are cut-off for the majority of the scans and the ratings are handwritten in. Impressions can be calculated by multiplying the rating by 51.6 million and dividing by 100. Shares can be calculated by dividing the HH rating by the "TV Homes Using TV" figure for the telecast's window and multiplying by 100.
