1.
CBS Saturday, 1973: All in the Family, MASH, Mary Tyler Moore, Bob Newhart, Carol Burnett
What a difference between then and now. Today, networks don't even air first-run episodes on Saturday because it's considered a dead night for TV. Forty years ago, Saturday night had the best shows ever.

3.
NBC Thursday, 1994-95: Mad About You, Friends, Seinfeld, Madman of the People, ER
The weak link between Seinfeld and ER kept this lineup from a higher ranking, but NBC could have aired informercials during that half-hour and it still would have been one of the strongest of all time.
