The 1985 TV Schedule



top 10 most popular motorsports in the world

Although 1985's television schedule was not as diverse as the previous years there were still many strong programs. Both CBS and NBC had strong lineups for Thursday nights. The Top 15 had been occupied by three dramas the year before. However, they were unable to maintain their ranking this year. All three dramas remained on the air for many years. Magnum P.I. was also introduced to the Thursday night lineup. It would stay there for many years. Knots landing, which aired on Thursday nights at 10pm, was the night’s most popular show.

Partners in Crime

"Partners in Crime" is an American crime drama television series set in San Francisco. It was created in 1984 by William Driskill. The series aired on NBC for 13 episodes from September 27 through December 29, 1984. The show aired 13 episodes until it was cancelled because it failed to reach its ratings goals. Fifty/Fifty was later shown in Fifty, an English version of the series. This was to avoid any confusion with Agatha Christie’s Partners in Crime.

Hot Pursuit

NBC topped Nielsen ratings in the initial weeks of the 1985-1986 television year, surpassing CBS, ABC and all the other networks. However, the network's lineup was rather bland. There were only two returning dramas and there weren't any Saturday dramas. The Washington Post's Tom Shales referred to the new series Partners in Crime as "crime bombs" and predicted that they would be cancelled. As the 1985-1986 television seasons began, NBC made major changes to its Saturday lineup.
