With the Nielsen ratings eventually expected to be posted for the 1950s-Present, I thought it would be a good time to compile the best list I could of every series ever aired Mondays-Fridays between 10AM-6PM on ABC, CBS and NBC. Various sources were checked, and hopefully all series were found. If you find any errors or omissions, please let me know!
