Ed Sullivan show - ratings

Ok. I know that the first Sullivan show was watched by over 50 million people, about 82 % of the viewers. But what about the other two performances on 28th October and 6th January? Were they watched by the same number of people? :hmm:

Wow... thanks. What about the middle one? I guess it was about the same percentage. They always talk about the first one as the most watched show in television history. So that's why I'm interested in the other two. Just amazing from a 21-year-old hillbilly kid to create such an electric buzz in history.
