And here's my weekly analysis to go with Danny's list...

In article <37hs19$4...@lucy.infi.net>, nit...@infi.net (Danny Moses) wrote:

This is absolutely *fabulous* news. While HI lost some gorund over the
last week, Frasier gained heavy ground over last week's 14.0, and has now
burst into the top 10.

My risky prediction: byt the end of this season Frasier will be beating
HI. Just watch!

> 4. "E.R." (NBC)...................................................... 19.2

I guess new med shows aren't dead afterall.

> 6. "Roseanne" (ABC).................................................. 17.0

I could get in another snide remark, but I'll give Roseanne a break this week.

> 7. "60 Minutes" (CBS)................................................ 16.2

Someone wanted me to comment about 60 Minutes. While it is still in the
top 10, it has fallen siginifcantly without the football lead-in. 60
Minutes used to be consistently 3 or 4 in the ratings, with a >20. So
while it's doing OK, the loss of football has hurt.

> 9. "Madman of the People" (NBC)...................................... 15.4

Still losing 25% of Seinfeld and ER's audience. How long will NBC stick with it?

> 13. "Ellen" (ABC)..................................................... 14.9

Still looking good.

> 17. "Mad About You" (NBC)............................................. 14.1
> 18. "Friends" (NBC)................................................... 13.6

Doing pretty good.

> 20. "Wings 1" (NBC)................................................... 13.4
> 21. "Wings 2" (NBC)................................................... 13.2

Better than ever.

> 16. "Dave's World" (CBS).............................................. 14.3

> 25. "The Nanny" (CBS)................................................. 12.9

Someone please explain to me why Nanny Fine isn't kicking Dave's World's
butt, please?! Anyway, the Nanny is still doing strong.

> 29. "Beverly Hills, 90210" (FOX)...................................... 12.5

FOX's strongest show, and it is *improving* its ratings.

> 41. "Family Matters" (ABC)............................................ 10.9
> 41. "Step by Step" (ABC).............................................. 10.9

Lost some over last week.

> 44. "All-American Girl" (ABC)......................................... 10.7

Not great.

> 49. "Under Suspicion" (CBS)........................................... 10.1

> 65. "The X-Files" (FOX)............................................... 08.6

If I were an X-Files fan, I would now start to worry. What began as a 10.0
season could now slip into the low 8.x's. In addition, for the first time,
Under Suspicion has now solidly beat the X-Files. Gillian Anderson's
absebce sure won't help. The key will be the ratings upon her return from
maturnity leave.

> 54. "Lois & Clark" (ABC).............................................. 09.6

> 55. "seaQuest DSV" (NBC).............................................. 09.4

Still neck and neck. But as with last season, I give the edge to L&C to
pull this out. Hey, L&C could be doing much better right *now*, if they
would just *LOSE* that Jimmy Olsen rip-off!

> 58. "The Five Mrs. Buchanans" (CBS)................................... 09.3

CBS must still be pretty happy.

> 59. "Melrose Place" (FOX)............................................. 09.2

Melorse is getting pretty mauled on Mondays. I think FOX should admit
defeat and move Melorse and PoF to another night.

> 62. "My So-Called Life - Tuesday" (ABC)............................... 08.8

> 84. "My So-Called Life - Thursday" (ABC).............................. 06.7

Improving a little. Critics raves may be helping. The Tuesday viewing may
also help, but the preemption this week will not. Check back in a two
weeks to see the net result.


> 72. (X)"Saved by the Bell: Wedding in Las Vegas" (NBC)................ 08.1

A little better than the College Years did, on a tough night. Not bad.

> 88. "M.A.N.T.I.S." (FOX).............................................. 05.7

Still doing worse than Brisco.

> 90. "Party of Five" (FOX)............................................. 05.5

Better than last week, and no longer in last place. Still, football is
killing this show. Let Charles Kennedy know that a Melorse/PoF move to
another night is probably in order. How about... Thursdays?

[after a little editing]

*** MONDAY ***
ABC
: 47. "Coach" (ABC)..................................................... 10.3
: 80. "Blue Skies" (ABC)................................................ 07.3
: 12. "NFL Monday Night Football" (ABC)................................. 15.1

Pittsburgh blows out Houston and MNF's ratings suffer (slightly)

CBS
: 25. "The Nanny" (CBS)................................................. 12.9
: 16. "Dave's World" (CBS).............................................. 14.3
: 15. "Murphy Brown" (CBS).............................................. 14.5
: 27. "Love & War" (CBS)................................................ 12.8

FOX
: 59. "Melrose Place" (FOX)............................................. 09.2
: 90. "Party of Five" (FOX)............................................. 05.5

NBC
: 39. "The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air" (NBC)............................... 11.1
: 36. "Blossom" (NBC)................................................... 11.4
: 5. "Someone She Knows" -- NBC Monday Movie........................... 18.3

*** TUESDAY ***
ABC
: 27. "Full House" (ABC)................................................ 12.8
: 22. "Me and the Boys" (ABC)........................................... 13.1
: 1. "Home Improvement" (ABC).......................................... 20.7
: 3. "Grace Under Fire" (ABC).......................................... 19.7
: 62. "My So-Called Life - Tuesday" (ABC)............................... 08.8

CBS
: 38. "Rescue 911" (CBS)................................................ 11.2
: 60. "The Gambler V, Pt. 2" -- CBS Tuesday Movie....................... 09.0

FOX
: 90. "The Super" -- FOX Tuesday Movie.................................. 05.5

NBC
: 20. "Wings 1" (NBC)................................................... 13.4


: 21. "Wings 2" (NBC)................................................... 13.2

: 8. "Frasier" (NBC)................................................... 15.9
: 29. "The John Larroquette Show" (NBC)................................. 12.5
: 10. "Dateline NBC - Tuesday" (NBC).................................... 15.3

Thanks to a strong "Frasier" episode, NBC does extremely well this night. A
"Wings" hour beats ABC in the 800-900 EST time slot (ABC looking vulnerable
here?), "Frasier" scores better than its Thursday replacement "Madman
of the People" (despite the tougher competition on Tuesdays), "The John
Larroquette Show" rides "Fraiser"'s coattails to its best ratings of the
season (ever?), and "Dateline NBC" shows up in the top 10.

*** WEDNESDAY ***
ABC
: 52. "Thunder Alley" (ABC)............................................. 09.7
: 44. "All-American Girl" (ABC)......................................... 10.7
: 6. "Roseanne" (ABC).................................................. 17.0
: 13. "Ellen" (ABC)..................................................... 14.9
: 45. "Turning Point" (ABC)............................................. 10.4

CBS

: 72. (X)"Day in the Lives of Melrose Place" (FOX)...................... 08.1

NBC

: 69. "Dateline NBC - Wednesday" (NBC).................................. 08.4
: 32. "Law & Order" (NBC)............................................... 11.7

Ratings generally down for ABC and NBC, probably due to the CMA Awards on CBS.

*** THURSDAY ***
ABC
: 84. "My So-Called Life - Thursday" (ABC).............................. 06.7
: 92. (X)"Billy Ray Cyrus: A Year on the Road" (ABC).................... 05.0
: 62. "Primetime Live" (ABC)............................................ 08.8

Is "McKenna" on hiatus already?

CBS
: 31. "Due South" (CBS)................................................. 11.9
: 32. "Chicago Hope" (CBS).............................................. 11.7
: 78. "Eye to Eye with Connie Chung" (CBS).............................. 07.7

Not sure about the order here; have "Chicago Hope" and "Eye to Eye" switched
times yet?

FOX
: 77. "Martin" (FOX).................................................... 07.8
: 65. "Living Single" (FOX)............................................. 08.6
: 72. "New York Undercover" (FOX)....................................... 08.1

NBC
: 17. "Mad About You" (NBC)............................................. 14.1
: 18. "Friends" (NBC)................................................... 13.6
: 2. "Seinfeld" (NBC).................................................. 20.3
: 9. "Madman of the People" (NBC)...................................... 15.4
: 4. "E.R." (NBC)...................................................... 19.2

"E.R."'s ratings have steadily climbed throughout the season.

*** FRIDAY ***
ABC
: 41. "Family Matters" (ABC)............................................ 10.9
: 45. "Boy Meets World" (ABC)........................................... 10.4
: 41. "Step by Step" (ABC).............................................. 10.9
: 47. "Hangin' with Mr. Cooper" (ABC)................................... 10.3
: 23. "20/20" (ABC)..................................................... 13.0

CBS
: 43. "Diagnosis Murder" (CBS).......................................... 10.8
: 49. "Under Suspicion" (CBS)........................................... 10.1
: 52. "Picket Fences" (CBS)............................................. 09.7

FOX
: 88. "M.A.N.T.I.S." (FOX).............................................. 05.7
: 65. "The X-Files" (FOX)............................................... 08.6

NBC
: 72. (X)"Saved by the Bell: Wedding in Las Vegas" (NBC)................ 08.1
: 51. (X)"Return of TV Bloopers" (NBC).................................. 09.8

Looks like NBC's "Saved by the Bell" movie sucked some viewers away from ABC's
sitcom lineup.

*** SATURDAY ***
ABC
: 72. "Summertime Switch" -- ABC Saturday Movie......................... 08.1
: 50. "The Commish" (ABC)............................................... 10.0

: 64. "Sisters" (NBC)................................................... 08.7

Late starts for "seaQuest DSV" and "The Simpsons" in EST and CST thanks to
football overruns may have helped out "Lois & Clark."

There ain't no justice. Home Improvement beats the funniest show
on TV (Frasier), and people actually watch and enjoy Seinfeld. I don't get
it.

>31. "Due South" (CBS)................................................. 11.9

Sort of surprised that it dropped from last week, especially with
Leslie Nielsen guest starring. I hope it continues to do well; this is one
entertaining show, but it's (comment 1).

>65. "The X-Files" (FOX)............................................... 08.6

Dropping... I wonder why, it was one of the better ones I've seen.

>88. "M.A.N.T.I.S." (FOX).............................................. 05.7

(comment 1)

>93. "Encounters: The Hidden Truth" (FOX).............................. 04.9

(dead last). This is clearly (comment 1).

(comment 1) = "no Brisco County Junior". The fans aren't going to
let this die for a looooooong time.

That's why I think Models, Inc. won't be cancelled for a while. It's doing
no worse than this.

It would be better than Tuesday! My intention was that FOX should run PoF
against MSCL and see who wins. I think ABC would move MSCL first. But then
again MSCL's ratings are pretty bad there anyway. Which means PoF is out
of nights to try. :(

Hey, isn't this still on against Home Improvement?

>29. "Beverly Hills, 90210" (FOX)...................................... 12.5

I'm really surprised that it's staying this high...

>54. "Lois & Clark" (ABC).............................................. 09.6

Hmm, down from last week.

>55. "seaQuest DSV" (NBC).............................................. 09.4

Also down from last week. Last week it was tied with Lois & Clark...I guess
this is basically a tie too, statistically speaking. Still, SeaQuest has
lost more ground in the ratings this season than Lois & Clark has.

>59. "Melrose Place" (FOX)............................................. 09.2

Damn, it beat The X-Files.

>62. "My So-Called Life - Tuesday" (ABC)............................... 08.8

I thought this show was dying?

>65. "The X-Files" (FOX)............................................... 08.6

Lower than last week -- still very good for a Fox show and better than the
show was doing last season at this point, though. So was this the #3 Fox
show this week or did I miss one?

>65. "The Simpsons" (FOX).............................................. 08.6

The X-Files tied The Simpsons. Cool.

I'd love to see The Simpsons beat both SeaQuest and Lois & Clark. How come
this show's ratings aren't going up as those shows' ratings drop?

>72. (X)"Day in the Lives of Melrose Place" (FOX)...................... 08.1

Hey, it lost 1/3 of the audience from 90210. Cool.

>84. "My So-Called Life - Thursday" (ABC).............................. 06.7

Maybe they should move it to Tuesday?

>88. "M.A.N.T.I.S." (FOX).............................................. 05.7

I can't even remember whether or not I watched this episode...

>89. "Something Wilder" (NBC).......................................... 05.6

Darn.

>90. "Party of Five" (FOX)............................................. 05.5

Wait, isn't this supposed to be a good show?

>93. "Encounters: The Hidden Truth" (FOX).............................. 04.9

Wow, dead last? I actually had a lot of fun watching this show.

Maybe because Dave's World is a better show? (IMHO of course)

Bad news for My So-Called Life. It lost more than half of Grace Under
Fire's audience.

and came in dead last for its timeslot. Yes, the ratings are better
than it gets on Thursdays, but ABC is -not- going to keep it unless it
can pull its own weight.

: What happened here? That's a relatively big drop since last week.

They need to move this awesome show to a better time slot....Friday nites
, especially during high school football season sucks! Move SeaQuest here and
move X-files to Sunday!

BTW: Yes, I know FOX has X-files and NBC has SeaQuest....But, both networks
could do us a favor...
