[QUOTE="Daniel Avery, post: 431812, member: 27"] Look how confusing it was for them to report two weeks of ratings in one listing. ;) It was also the only place you could see older movies considered "classics," since theaters focused almost exclusively on new releases and there was no "media" market like tapes or DVDs. The networks were mostly broadcasting "recent" films (several years after their theater debut) but would occasionally show an older, major classic like when CBS would show [I]Gone With the Wind [/I]every year or so (split up over two nights). ABC would air [I]The Ten Commandments [/I]on Easter. Can't recall who (CBS?) would air [I]The Wizard of Oz. [/I] I saw[I] The Towering Inferno [/I]on TV rather than in a theater, and I'd love to see it on a big screen someday. Obviously the[B][I] real[/I][/B] treasure trove of old movies was in syndication and aired late at night on[I] all the channels [/I]in various formats, but they were never measured for ratings.
