from 15.9 to 14.7 (percent of the na-
tion’s 85.9 million TV homes.) So it’s
no surprise that sitcoms, pronounced
dead the season before Cosby arriv-
ed when none made the Top 10, will
dominate this fall.
ABC will have 10 comedies, CBS
six and NBC 13 for a total of 29, nine
more than began 1965-86. There are
sitcoms every night, including three
nights when they’ll go head-to-head
on two networks.
On Monday, NBC’s “ALF,” starr-
ing a wise-cracking, furry extra-
terrestrial, will compete with CBS’
“Kate & Allie.” ABC and CBS have
opposing comedies on Wednesday,
including ABC’s "Perfect
Strangers" against CBS' new
“Together We Stand.”
On Saturday, NBC's “Facts of
Life” is scheduled against Lucille
Ball’s “Life With Lucy” on ABC.
Then, NBC's “227” goes against
“The Ellen Burstyn Show.”

singlehandedly, without a six-
shooter or a screeching tire, Bill
Cosby has changed the face of prime
time, raising its comedy con-
sciousness and reducing its violent
streak.
Two years ago, Cosby said he was
returning to prime time because
television’s mayhem level had
become dangerous to his family’s
health. TV, he said, had degenerated
into a barrage of cars, guns, hookers
and pimps, and he wanted to offer a
positive alternative.
Success breeds change, and the
networks’ 1966-87 schedules seem to
reflect more of Cosby's attitude and
approach to programming. Sitcoms
are up, shoot-’em-ups are down.
Led by “The Cosby Show,” which
is so popular that even its repeats, if
compiled separately, would be TV's
No. 2-ranked series, situation com-
edies averaged a 17.6 rating in
1985-86, up from 15.4 in the previous
campaign.
