Ratings
"Dirty Sally" aired at 8:00 p.m. Eastern time on Fridays opposite Syndication’s "Sanford and Son."

The show preceded "Good Times" (which would rank at #17 for the season with a 21.4 average rating) and replaced the equally short-lived comedy, "Calucci's Department" which occupied that time slot during the first eleven weeks of the 1973-1974 season.

"Planet of the Apes" was moved into that same time in the 1974-1975 season and "Good Times" was moved to Tuesdays.

The show was quickly cancelled, even though Jeanette Nolan was nominated for a Primetime Emmy Award for "Best Lead Actress in a Drama Series." The series continued in repeats until August 9, 1974.
