Are you enjoying the Swinging Sixties at the Nonnatus House during the eighth season of the Call the Midwife TV show on PBS? Although the Nielsen ratings typically play a big role in determining whether a TV show like Call the Midwife is cancelled or renewed for season nine, with public television TV series, other factors come into play. Because many viewers feel frustration when their viewing habits and opinions aren’t considered, we’d like to offer you the chance to rate all of the Call the Midwife season eight episodes here.
