AC. Nielsen Co. figures showed Tuesday. CBS, the top-rated network in past seasons, started this season last week in third place, with only three of its evening television programs among the nation's 20 most-watched shows in the Nielsen estimates. NBC, trying to recover from its worst season ever in the ratings last year, came out in second place in over-all ratings for the week ending Sept.

26, with six of its shows in the Nielsen top 20. The week's highest-rated show was a one-hour premiere of ABC's "Happy Days" comedy series. It was seen in 24.7 million homes by an estimated 53 of the national audience in its time period. The lowest-rated program was NBC's glittering, much-publicized "Big Party" show of celebrities Sunday, Sept. 26 in New York.

Of 14 new weekly series premiering last week, only four wound up in the Nielsen top 20. They were ABC's "Charlie's Angels," "The Captain and Tennille" and "Tony Randall" scries, and NBC "Dick Van Dyke" comedy hour. The Complete House of Music" 123 8th Ave. N.
