Co., Inc., Everett, WA Lines: 23 Xref: tektronix net.tv:03334 net.movies:06983 TV guide compiled TV ratings from 9/24/84 - 4/21/85 in an article this week, and I found a few statistics worth noting: 1) While Hill Street Blues was not in the top 20 (at 28) for the whole year, it was ahead of Miami Vice, which finished 40th. I would have thought the latter garnered a much larger share of the market... 2) Rather amusing was that the ratings for Michner's Space series were only 1.2 points better than V: The Final Battle... 3) Get this: Which "theatrical film" (i.e. not made-for-television) made the second-highest ratings, beating "Firefox, For Your Eyes Only, Airplane, Superman & Stir Crazy? Would you believe _The_Wizard_of_Oz_? Now *that's* staying power... (_Victor/Victoria_ finished 1st). Expect the Unexpected. He does. ---> Moriarty, aka Jeff Meyer John Fluke Mfg. Co., Inc.
