Nielsen ratings/TV schedule

During its first four years, Petticoat Junction was a major ratings success. However, with the departure of Kate following the third episode of season 6, the show's ratings declined continuously. Another reason was the show's new time slot, which was Saturdays at 9:30 p.m., an extremely weak air time.
