So How about it a How about what we be had it with these people Abc Peri Gilpin stars on  up Abc a improvement a class of a frasier by James Endrst Hartford courant beware of first impressions. They re shallow undependable even unfair. A a.  you re talking about to where deep thought can be counted in seconds. So with the 1994-95 television season already Well underway in the United states read More than one week Oldie seems like a Good time for Early summation on the ratings race maybe it s too Early to declare a Winner but done to bet against Abc. The alphabet network shot out to an Early and impressive Lead in the Nielsen in week 1, with six programs in the top 10 a beginning with the top rated Home improvement. Almost As noteworthy As abcs winning performance was the poor showing by lbs last years White hot no. 1 network. Lbs started 1994-95 in third place finishing behind a resurgent Abc. The Tiffany network is doing so poorly that David Letterman the Pride of lbs is taking shots at them in his monologue. The big Battle looks like abcs tuesday wednesday flip Flop is working. Home improvement got the better of frasier on tuesday night but nevertheless it turns out Abc is looking Good on that night Overall. We feel for frasier though which at least from this Vantage Point is a classier show. Meanwhile All those people who thought cd so Chicago Hope was going to draw first blood in the. Thursday night head to head Scalpel to Scalpel showdown with no cd ser turned out to be wrong. David Kelley picket fences assembled a better cast it than did Michael Crichton Jurassic Park. Though or does no to have the Star Power of Chicago Hope the Abc drama which like Hope is set in Chicago is the Best show of its kind since St. Elsewhere which at moments it very consciously mimics. Baseball baseball is finished for the season both professionally and metaphorically and Many viewers Are disappointed on both counts. Ironically major league baseball a to season turned out to be too Short As a result of the strike and Ken Burns pcs documentary on the National pastime turned out to be too Long. Though. Baseball contained plenty of poetry in motion and the ratings which pcs supposedly does not care about were satisfying enough its Clear that somebody should have reined in Burns. Like they say in the news business. Everybody needs an editor. New kids on the Block virtue is its own Reward but you still need ratings especially when you re talking about a first season show. Jefe and the boys a a kind of �?T90s father knows Best a is abcs highest rated new series or is no cd Stop freshman program due South an unlikely and satisfying cop show featuring a transplanted Canadian mountie is cd so most successful new show although it finished no. 38 and new York undercover was tops for Fox. All worthy winners. As for the most highly praised new series of the season my so called life it looks like trouble. The show landed at the Bottom of the ratings  Stow to not so foxy moves Fox moved the Simpsons Back to sunday night and now its in some trouble. Living single along with Martin got shifted to thursday nights and has lost a step or two As Well. Melrose place does no to belong on monday nights at 8 for two reasons we liked it on wednesdays and its too Early. Apparently foxes owner Rupert Murdoch Isnit Happy about his programming though the ratings Are on the Rise. Otherwise he  have sent his entertainment chief Sandy Grushow packing two weeks ago. Speculation has it that foxes failure to capitalize on its National football league broadcasts came into play Here the biggest complaint from Here is that Fox so Fine drama party of five is on at 9 . On mondays up against football on Abc. It should be on at 8 ., where Melrose is now positioned. News we of n t use have you started to wonder what to was like pre-o.j.? what will television do with All that unfilled air time when the trial is Over a a a a a a a a a.
