Ratings have been affected in part by the Major League Baseball playoffs, which preempted various series and allowed others to flourish. Last week, for example, ABC's "The Drew Carey Show" scored its highest rating ever with "3rd Rock From the Sun" on the bench because of NBC's baseball coverage.

While preemptions have made it difficult to gauge success, a handful of new shows appear to be doing well, including NBC's "Veronica's Closet," ABC's "Dharma Greg" and "The Wonderful Santa Bartnra JKm(ABC07. SanBanrdmo K4.KVCRIFBS) 24 Vankn County JKADYUPN) 16 World of Disney," and Fox's "Ally McBeal." Several WB Network shows also delivered record ratings last week, with WB and Fox posting gains compared to last season while the other four networks are all down. Already struggling are ABC's Thursday and Saturday lineups except for "The Practice," which scored its highest rating of the season Saturday. New Friday night comedies on CBS and ABC also appear shaky, as do NBC's Sunday tandem of "Men Behaving Badly" and "Jenny." ABC edged CBS for second place overall, thanks in part to "PrimeTime Live," the week's most-watched news hour with Sarah Ferguson as guest. By contrast, the premiere of CBS' "Public Eye With Bryant Gumbel" received a ratings shiner, ranking fourth in its time slot.
