SuperBSWf SuperfdrCBS Super Bowl XIV did the trick, as the watched network program of the week ending Jan. 20, punting CBS into a tie for the season-to-date ratings championship. CBS estimates that 105 million Americans viewed all or part of the big game, which came By JOAN IIANAUER UPI Television Writer NE YORK (UPI) CBS tied ABC as the top-rated network for the curent television season, giving CBS its first toeholdn the top spot in the ratings race since April 18, 1976.

The Super Bowl post-game show added to the CBS numbers. It occupied second place, and between the two Super Bowl programs they helped carry over audience to "60 Minutes," which ranked third.

AS for the competing news magazines, the Shah of Iran played pretty well for ABC's "20-20," which came in a respectable 25th for the week with its show given over to David Frost's interview with the deposed Iranian leader. NBC's "Prime Time Saturday" came in third from the bottom of the Nielsen list of 64 shows, and was the lowest rated regular series on network television. While Super Bowl XIV provided a jolly breather for CBS, such popularity isn't likely to last. Even if CBS can beat out ABC in regular programing for the next couple of weeks, and there's no guarantee of that, the conventional wisdom assures that ABC will bounce back in front in February with its telecasts of the Winter Olympics at Lake Placid, N.Y. If sports was champ on Sunday, love conquered all in its path on Saturday when a special two-hour "Love Boat" cut off CBS's new "The Chisholms" series at the pass and shifted NBC's normally high-rated "CHiPs" into low gear.

"CHiPs" wound up in mediocre 39th place and "The Chisholms" were a miserable 55th. Among the second-season newcomers to the schedule, CBS's "House Calls" and "Knots Landing" did well, and the same could be said for NBC's "Skag." ABC's "BAD. Cats" and "Stone" did poorly. It is one of the ironies of the season that "Knots Landing" and "Skag" are competing head-to-head on Thursday nights at 9, each possibly drawing viewers from the other. Both were produced at Lorimar, which is stuck with every production company's nightmare of competing with itself.

The 10 top-rated network television programs for the week ending Jan. 20, according to the A.C. Nielsen were: 1: Super Bowl XIV (CBS); 2: Super Bowl post game show (CBS); 3: 60 Minutes (CBS); 4: Three's Company (ABC); 5: MA-S-H (CBS); 6: Taxi (ABC); 7: Fantasy Island (ABC); 8: Dallas (CBS); 9: Love Boat (ABC); 10: Dukes of Hazzard (CBS).
