Nielsen ratings Season 1 (September 16, 1965 – May 5, 1966, 31 episodes): #52 Season 2 (September 8, 1966 – April 27, 1967, 33 episodes): #14 Season 3 (September 14, 1967 – April 4, 1968, 30 episodes): #8 Season 4 (September 19, 1968 – April 24, 1969, 30 episodes): #8 Season 5 (September 18, 1969 – June 18, 1970, 31 episodes): #14 Season 6 (September 17, 1970 – April 8, 1971, 28 episodes): #24 Season 7 (September 16, 1971 – April 13, 1972, 28 episodes): #36 Season 8 (September 14, 1972 – April 12, 1973, 28 episodes): #49 Season 9 (September 6, 1973 – April 5, 1974, 25 episodes): #42 This was Martin's second run as a variety show host, as he previously hosted two variety shows that aired on the NBC anthology series Ford Startime (1959–1960). The series was a staple for NBC, airing Thursdays at 10:00 p.m. for eight years until its move to Fridays at 10:00 p.m. for the final season and a change in format. It was more popular among white-collar workers than with blue-collar ones; a 1968 survey ranked the show #2 overall among white-collar workers and the highest-ranked first-run series (the highest-rated show among white collar workers was a Saturday night movie umbrella showcase), ranking ahead of the overall first place program The Andy Griffith Show in that demographic.
