AT-THe-FEFPiNS- I NEW YORK (AP) Using "The Cosby Show" and "The Golden Girls" as sprightly springboards, NBC won Top Five status for two new series, "Our House" and "Easy Street," and easily won the ratings last week, figures from the A.C. Nielsen Co. showed Tuesday.

NBC averaged a 15.8 rating for the week of Sept. 8-14, while CBS had a 12.7 and ABC an 11.4. In dinnertime news, the three networks were as close as they've ever been. "CBS Evening News" with Dan Rather had a 10.5 rating, 21 share, while ABC's "World News Tonight" with Peter Jennings and "NBC Nightly News" with Tom Brokaw each averaged a 10.4 rating, 21 share. "It's going to be a dogfight all fall," said Gerald Jaffe, NBC's vice president for research projects.

A single ratings point equals 874,000 homes with television; a share measures the percentage of sets on that are tuned "Our House," the critically praised family show starring Wilford Brin ley as a crusty grandfather, opened behind top-ranked "Cosby" last Thursday and took second place for the week with a 28.7 rating, 45 share. It was the highest rated fall premiere since "AfterMASH" opened on CBS in 1983. Three days after the "Our House" debut, it moved away from the "Cosby" cocoon, into its regular 7 p.m. Sunday slot and ranked a respectable 19th with a 14.6 rating, 26 i vr PLAn rA i x. 1 WHATEVER Njf TOMMIE.

It was NBC's best regular series performance in the time period in more than five years.

"NBC has to pleased with that," said Mike Eisenberg, CBS' research director. NBC is ecstatic. "Even though the regular season hasn't started, if we keep up Sunday numbers like that, the season has just ended," Jaffe said. Improvement on Sunday, against CBS' "60 Minutes" and ABC's "Dis-. ney Sunday Movie," was considered important in NBC's bid to repeat as prime-time champion.

The 30-week 1986-87 season offically begins Sept. 22. "60 Minutes," opening smartly its 19th season on Sunday, ranked eighth, but "Our House" apparently benefited from the "Disney Sunday Movie" being a repeat that finished 46th out of 50 shows. "Our House" seems likely to better NBC's Sunday shows last season, "Punky Brewster" and "Silver Spoons," which averaged a 16 share. Jaffe expects "Our House" to fall from a 26 share when "Disney" offers fresh product.

His forecast is a 20 share average. CBS again showed Sunday strength with "60 Minutes" and its movie, "The Last Days of Patton," starring George C. Scott, which ranked ninth. NBC also sought improvement this season at 8 p.m. on Sunday with "Easy Street," a sitcom starring Loni Anderson.

You should do rather well in these situations, provided you stay in your area of expertise. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You have much to be grateful for, so be content with your lot in life.

It'll spoil your day if you start being envious of others. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) Neither you nor your mate should make important decisions today without first consulting the other. Take time to go over the pros and cons of major issues.

The first works; the second doesn't. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) In order to maintain good relationships, it's best not to impose on your friends unnecessarily today.

Allow everyone freedom of thought. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Keep your eyes focused on the profit column today or else you might conduct your business affairs in ways that invite mistakes and losses CANCER (June 21-July 22) You may be given wise counsel today by a person you dislike. Because you don't appreciate the source, you're apt to reject this advice.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) An unpleasant task that you've been avoiding because you've been hoping it'll be taken care of by others could catch up with you today. No one wants your job.
