Viewers for Quality Television (also called "VQT") was an American nonprofit organization (under 501(c)(3)) founded in 1984 to advocate network television series that members of the organization voted to be of the "highest quality."[1] The group's goal was to rescue "...critically acclaimed programs from cancellation despite their Nielsen program rating."[2] It was a participatory organization that was open to all interested viewers. The organization was dissolved in late 2000 due to financial problems.
