Ratings Archives - September 1991, Pt. 1
We are breaking up September between the end of the summer season and the start of the fall season.
As the summer of 1991 came to a close, it was already starting to fell like TV season again. MONDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL, on ABC, was the number one program each week. MNF dominated with 26.3 million and 27.5 million viewers, the first two weeks of thew season.
FOX took advantage of the reruns by the big 3 and premiered its season a little early. The season premiere of MARRIED WITH CHILDREN drew nearly 30 million viewers and ranked 2nd for the first week in September. The HERMAN'S HEAD series premiere followed and ranked 22nd, with 18.2 million viewers. But FOX was still a young network. it still placed four programs at the bottom of the rankings list.

ReplyDeleteDo you have tv ratings for all of the seasons in the 1990s or just some?
ReplyDeleteI have just about every week from late 1989 to May 2000. There are the occasional weeks that I either missed or USA Today did not publish a chart for.
ReplyDeleteAlright thanks. I'm interested to see how shows like Home Imporvement and Seinfeld did at their peak. Is this going to be a weekly post?
