NBC also didn't help its cause with a special touting "The Prince of Egypt," which delivered unto the network its lowest rating in that time slot in more than three years. The return of the improv series "Whose Line Is It Anyway?" yielded immediate dividends for ABC, retaining more audience from lead-in "The Drew Carey Show" than now-defunct "The Secret Lives of Men" could manage. ABC's Saturday lineup is still a disaster, however, as the new dramas "Fantasy Island" and "Cupid" fell to lowest-yet ratings. The former has been canceled, while "Cupid" moves to Thursdays next month.

BRIAN LOWRY Holiday specials decorated the prime-time landscape last week, but NBC's Thursday programs remained TV's most reliable gift-givers, based on results issued Tuesday by Nielsen Media Research. Getting its title character back to work was what the doctor ordered for "Frasier," which attracted more viewers than "Friends" for the first time this season. "ER's" 100th episode also drew that show's biggest audience since Oct. 1. On the down side for NBC, its latest TV movie based on classic material, a version of "The Tempest" starring Peter Fonda, didn't fare much better Sunday than an earlier adaptation of "Crime and National Nielsen Vlewershlp barbie (1990) Uheech Marin.

Rich Melodies Propel Placebo to Emotion-Filled Performance Pop Music Review A torrid emotionalism lies just beneath the surface of Pla- cebo's glam-Goth cool.

At the Whisky on Sunday, the British trio performed a show that was heavy on strobe lights and mascara, but equally rich in sudden melodic flourishes and heartbreak. Brian Molko sang of desperate romance with a wounded sneer, pausing during a cigarette break to utter, without a hint of irony: "The greatest thing I've ever learned is to be loved and to love in return." Placebo soon drifted into "My Sweet Prince," an icy torch song that had Molko singing like a passionate blend of Marianne Faith-full and Perry Farrell. He stood on stage in makeup and a gray flannel suit. This sort of gender-blending is hardly a new idea in rock, and Placebo's would hardly matter at all if not for the music. The band's rockers carried an intense urgency not quite captured on the new You I'm Nothing" album, and found bright melodies amid otherwise grim rhythms.

The song "You Don't Care About Us" was built on an upbeat riff right out of '80s Goth pop. Not all of the band's material was up to that intense standard, but the musical peaks were undeniable and furious, until the moment the band stepped off the stage to a storm of violent feedback. Opening the evening was Furslide, a New York-based trio (augmented on Sunday by a keyboardist) that plowed similar emotional territory before closing with a memorably intense guitar rush.
