2A i COURIER-POST, Wednesday, November 26, 1980 Bullseye! CBS hits rating record with two shots Associated Press LOS ANGELES The two bullets pumped into nasty JR. Ewing helped shoot CBS into the lead of the prime-time ratings race and the unmasking of J.R.'s assailant went down in the record books as the most-watched show in TV history, according to the AC. Nielsen Co. -v. Three-quarters of all the television sets in use last Friday night were tuned in to the CBS hit "Dallas" to find out that J.R.'s sister-in-law, Kristin Shepard, was his would-be killer.

The latest Nielsen ratings indicated the episode beat the final episode of "Roots," previously the highest-rated show of all time, as well as the denouement of the "The Fugitive" and all the Super Bowl games. CBS had six shows in the top 10 for the week ending Nov. 23, according to the Nielsen survey. The ratings survey said that 41,467,400 homes were tuned in to see the long-awaited solution to the shooting. The "Who Shot J.R.?" episode received a rating of 53.3, meaning that at any given moment an average of 53.3 percent of all TV sets in the nation were tuned in.

It also had a share of 76 in the ratings, meaning that it was seen on 76 percent of the sets in use while it was being shown. Interest in the show had been building since last spring, when J.R, Ewing, played by Larry Hagman, was shot in the season's final epi sode. The show set off an International guessing game. The final episode of the ABC mini-series "Roots" previously was the highest-rated show of all time, with a rating of 51.1 and a share of 71. It was telecast Jaa 30, 1977.

The highest-rated episode of any regular series was the last original episode of ABCs "The Fugitive," in which Dr. Richard Kimble finally caught up with the one-armed man who had killed his wife. That show, telecast Aug. 29, 1 969, got a rating of 5.9 and a share of 72. The "Dallas" rating helped boost CBS to a ratings victory for the week with an over-all rating of 21.9.

ABC was second with 19.7 and NBC was third with 17.1. Here were the Top 10 shows: "Dallas," a rating of 53.3 or 41,467,400 households, CBS; "Dukes of Hazzard," 32.0 or 24.9 million, CBS; "60 Minutes," 29.8 or 23.2 million, CBS; "Three's Company," 26.3 or 20.5 million, ABC, "Alice," 26.1 or 23.3 million, CBS; "The Jef-fersons," 26.1 or 23.3 million, CBS; "One Day at a Time," 25.7 or 20 million, CBS; "Happy Days," 25.4 or 19.8 million, ABC, "Too Close for Comfort," 25.1 or 19.5 million, ABC; "Love Boat," 25.0 or 19.5 million, ABC.
