Does anyone know the Nielsen ratings for seasons 6, 7 and 8? The Wikipedia article only says "not in top 30." I tried an internet search but came up empty.

Season 3 (Fall 1982) #3 -

N/A - There was a writers strike that affected many shows that year, including delaying airing new episodes for Fall of 1981.
Magnum had some competition in 1984, The Cosby Show and Family Ties during the same hour. TSM had to deal with Higgins, Cliff Huxtable, and Alex P. Keaton from 8PM to 9PM every Thursday night - YIKES!
I assume some margin of error with wikipedia...?
