Nielsen Co. "The Jeffersons," a consistent hit on CBS, was the highest-rated show for the week ending July 20, followed by five other CBS shows, including "60 Minutes" in second place and "Alice" in third. CBS beat the opposition by a narrow margin in the three-way competition for convention viewers, and with help from the half-dozen nonpolitical programs, finished first in the weekly ratings race.

CBS' rating for the week was 11.3 to 8.7 for both NBC and ABC. The networks say that means in an average prime-time minute during he week, 11.3 percent of the nation's TV-equipped homes were tuned to CBS. Poor, though not necessarily unexpected, ratings for the convention contributed heavily to the extraordinarily low marks for the week. More than half the viewers during the four nights of the convention, Monday through Thursday, chose alternate programming on independent or public stations. CBS' coverage of the convention finale Thursday night was the highest-rated of the programs from the Joe Louis Arena in Detroit 24th in the ratings.

The three networks carried 13 hours of simultaneous convention coverage in prime time, and CBS had the highest rating, 7.7 to 7.6 for NBC and 6.5 for ABC. That means in an average minute during the convention, 7.7 percent of the country's homes with television were watching CBS. A special Monday night edition of CBS' "60 Minutes," featuring an interview with the eventual GOP presidential nominee, Ronald Reagan, scored in the ratings 17th did two convention-oriented editions of ABC's "20-20." A Tuesday night installment was 23rd for the week, while a Monday night program finished 25th. In a non-prime time sidelight, ABC's "World News Tonight" finished No. 1 in the weekly evening news sweepstakes for the first time ever.

Twice in the week, however, CBS began its convention coverage at 7 p.m., bypassing the regular "Evening News" broadcast. Here are the week's highest-rated programs: "The Jeffersons," with rating of 20.7 representing. 15.8 million homes, "60 Minutes," 19.6 or 15 million, "Alice," 19.4 or 14.8 million, "Trapper John, M.D.," 19.1 or 14.6 million, "Dallas," 18.6 or 14.2 million, and "Dukes of Hazzard," 17.7 or 13.5 million, all CBS, "CHiPs" 16.2 or 12.4 million, NBC, "Love Boat," 15.9 or 12.1 million, and "Fantasy Island," 15.4 or 11.8 million, both ABC, and "The Awakening Land," Part NBC, and "Archie Bunker's Place" and "One Day at a Time," both CBS, all 14.2 or 10.8 million. The rest of the Top 20: "Moonrunners," ABC; "The Islander," CBS; "Ed Clark for President" spot, and "240-Robert," both ABC; "60 Minutes," Monday edition, and "The Incredible Hulk," both CBS, and "Diffrent Strokes," Friday edition, and "Me Maxx," both NBC.
