NBC still has room for concern, with Thursday's "Frasier" falling 30 short of "Seinfeld's" audience from the corresponding week a year ago, diminished in part by an ESPN football game. Viewing of the WB network, meanwhile, is up 15 compared to last year, thanks to solid ratings for "Dawson's Creek" and "7th Heaven." -BRIAN LOWRY The World Series' ratings box score was just so-so but still helped move Fox higher in the network order, based on results issued Tuesday by Nielsen Media Research. With viewership hurt by the Yankees' Game 2 blowout of San Diego, Fox couldn't catch NBC, which introduced two new secies last week: "Trinity," a drama from "ER" producer John Wells, showed a bit of promise Friday by ranking behind only ABC's popular comedies in its time slot; and "Wind on Water," featuring Bo Derek, which looked like about a "3" from a Nielsen standpoint.

23710 Lyons Ave iROSENBERG Continued from F12 straight sitcom characters do. And that "Will Grace" isn't pleasant enough the way it is. Yet as far as one can tell after watching three episodes, Will is gay in name only, the lone clear sign being that he is platonic with the luscious babe with whom he lives. So far, in fact, he's outwardly attracted to no one. Depictions on "Ellen" and Rose- anne's famous lesbian kiss on her own ABC sitcom notwithstanding, gay smooching and perhaps even I touching are a step no network appears willing to take at the moment.

Some viewers rejected "Ellen" I because they didn't find it funny, others surely in anger over both her and her character being les-Ibian. What isn't known is how I many are wiser today because of exposure to her, and to what extent i that tolerance evokes fear in some I circles. Berenstein notes, we're shaped by many factors, of which I television is just one. Thus, she adds, "Ellen" could change minds for the better only as part of an overall climate for increased ceptance of diversity. She is optimistic about TV get- ting ever smarter about gays.

"It's a moderate optimism," she said. I "Television is motivated by eco-; nomics, not by good will or chang- ing social mores. It won't ever be a I radical forum for social change. And it's a problem to expect that of television." I So be thankful for "Ellen" and I other streaks of light, while mourning the loss of a Wyoming college student whose killers may I have been terrified of what he was "and the changes in America that he "stood for. 6 Trk DTSrWhat Dreams May 3) LOS FELIZ 2.
