It was on Sunday nights against Bonanza. Merely surviving makes it a hit. There were NO "cult following" shows in prime time in the top 30. Maybe on late night

- eesmith 3y agoThat's really more a matter of individual perspective, yes? I mean, https://www.ranker.com/list/best-1960s-cult-tv-series/ranker-tv https://www.ranker.com/list/best-1960s-cult-tv-series/ranker... lists Smothers Brothers as a cult show. To be fair, Smothers Brothers is not listed at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_cult_television_shows https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_cult_television_shows while Deadwood is. On the other hand, that Wikipedia list includes Miami Vice (ranked #9 in 1985-1986 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Top-rated_United_States_television_programs_of_1985%E2%80%9386 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Top-rated_United_States_televi... ), The Golden Girls ("ranked among the Nielsen ratings' top ten for six of its seven seasons" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Golden_Girls https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Golden_Girls ), and X-Files (ranked #11 in 1997-1998, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Top-rated_United_States_television_programs_of_1997%E2%80%9398 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Top-rated_United_States_televi... ). And X-Files regularly shows up on lists of cult shows, like TV Guide's at https://www.tvguide.com/news/reacher-season-2-release-date-cast-and-more/ https://www.tvguide.com/news/reacher-season-2-release-date-c... .
