[QUOTE="Daniel Avery, post: 444319, member: 27"] This ratings list above does not denote whether the individual shows were first-run or repeats. Granted, most shows started new seasons in late September, but not all shows started their new seasons at the same time. Networks would occasionally premiere all their shows in stages rather than all at once. The networks were often counter-programming new shows against the older, established shows in an effort to cut the older show's audience, but the audience would reject many more shows than they embraced. Audience "sampling" of new shows is usually a temporary hiccup. By November or December many of the new shows had faced the judgment of the network, who either cancelled them outright or moved them into safer slots to give them a better chance of survival. Oh, and if you want to see how terrible some of the new shows were back then, find clips of #66. [I]The Montefuscos [/I]and try to make it through more than a few minutes. [/QUOTE]
