NEW YORK (AP) NBC and CBS tied for first last week in evening news ratings, prime-time results and, in an oddity, in the perform-, ances of each network's reprieved series, "Cagney Lacey" and 'Remington Steele," figures from the A.C. Nielsen Co. showed Tuesday.

"CBS Evening News" with Dan Rather and "NBC Nightly News" with Tom Brokaw had 10.0 ratings and 22 shares; while ABC's "World News Tonight" with Peter Jennings was a close third with a 9.8 rating and the same 22 share. The two-tenths of a point gap from first to third was the narrowest since one-tenth of a point, separated the three newscasts the week of Nov. 9, ,1981. One coincidence last week was that NBC's "Remington Steele" and CBS' 'tCagney Lacey," the only two modern shows to have been canceled and then given network reprieves, were tied for 22nd place, along with ABC's "MacGyver." Monday, NBC announced that "Remington Steele," which was canceled last May, would go back into production as a midseason replacement series. NBC cited viewer mail a respectable 25 share, with its past four episodes posting stronger shares of 33, 26, 28 and last week's 26.

Brandon Tartikoff, president of NBC Entertainment, said last month that "Remington Steele" was the last hourlong show canceled. "It was a tough decision," he said. After four years and about 90 episodes, "creatively, (the show) had probably peaked," Tartikoff said. "With shows like that I think you're looking at diminishing returns." "Now is our chance to prove him wrong," Larry Bloustein, vice president at MTM Enterprises, which produces the series, said. "The show is rating well.

A potential complication is that MTM has first rights on series star Pierce Brosnan, who reportedly is in line for the starring role in the next James Bond film, The Living Daylights. The standard seven-year TV contract gives MTM first call on Brosnan during the TV filming season. United Artists, which distributes the 007 films, has not announced its choice for the new Bond, a SDokes- THAJts 7-17 CMMyNEA.kic 0 JL TkLr Born Loser WHAT I jSciSSSL, IT'S TRIPLE RXWPOUT ABOUT pJtiLlrJIZT A-l'. a (mmm?

You will help them and they, in turn, will help you. CANCER (June 21-July 22) If you take the time today, you can find little ways to save money on repairs you can do yourself. It will cost you lots more if you have to call in a professional.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Temptations to buy more than you can afford will be rather strong today. Your will is far weaker than your whims. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept.

22) You're likely to find flimsy excuses for not clearing up an unpleasant situation today. It will have to be resolved eventually, so why not now? LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) You have a type of charisma that is very appealing to members of the opposite sex. However, beware of flirtations today, because they could offend a third party.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) This can and should be a profitable day for you, provided you keep your mind on business. Forego pleasurable distractions until you close your deal. SAGITTARIUS (Nov.

23-Dec. 21) You should attend to important matters as early in the day as possible. You're a strong starter, but you might lack staying power. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan.

19) Unfortunately, you might not be able to operate as independently as you prefer today. An associate will help direct events. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) Think carefully before requesting a special favor from a friend today.

He or she will want to rrelp you, but might not be in a position to do so. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) You can attain an important objective today, provided you don't tie yourself down with an associate who lacks initiative. ARIES (March 21-April 19) Try to move around physically today instead of being inactive. Select activities that get the blood circulating a bit.

It'll make you feet better TAURUS (April 20-May 20) The behavior of someone you truly like might irritate you today. However, gloss over her actions because she'll soon be her old self again. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) You should follow through as you promise on commitments you make early in the day. Keep your word even if it inconveniences you.
