12 Park News, May 14, 1982 ABC takes first LOS ANGELES (AP) ABC finished on top for the first week of the May "sweeps," but the No. 1 show was the fast-paced, slapstick movie "Cad- dyshack" on CBS, figures from the A.C. Nielsen Co. show. "Dynasty," ABC's fast- rising prime-time soap opera, was second in the ratings.

The show completed its current season of original programming with a series of cliffhangers that won't be resolved until next fall. ABC took the first week of May ratings ending May 9 with a rating of 15.7. CBS finished a full point behind with 14.7 and NBC was third with 13.3. The networks say that means in an average prime-time minute, 15.7 percent of the nation's homes with TV were tuned to ABC. The sweeps, held several times a year by the ratings services, are checks on how many people watched particular shows.

Sweeps are conducted for a month at the local-station level, and the networks usually enhance their programming to help their affiliates' score. "TV's Censored Bloopers," an NBC rerun, was third, and completing the top five shows were ABC's "Too Close for Comfort" and "Three's Company." Perennial CBS front- runners "60 Minutes" and "Dallas." which are now showing reruns, did not make the Top 10. "60 Minutes" was in llth place and "Dallas" was 25th. Here arc the Top 10 shows: movie "Caddy- shack." a rating of 23.2 or 18.5 million households. CBS; "Dynasty." 22.7 or 18.1 million, ABC; "TV's Censored Bloopers, 21.6 or 17.3 million.
