Meanwhile, one new ABC program succeeded, but it wasn't Lucille Ball's new situation comedy, results from the A.C.

Nielsen Co. showed Tuesday. Among NBC's winners was its Emmy broadcast, which helped send CBS' "George Washington" two-part movie to one of the worst starts in miniseries history. ABC's "Head of the Class," starring Howard Hesseman, ranked fifth for the week. NBC's strategy of introducing new series before the regular prime-time season began Sept.

22, to ensure sampling against rerun competition, worked better than anticipated. "I'm very satisfied," said NBC Entertainment President Brandon Tartikoff Five of NBC's seven new series were on last week. ABC introduced seven of nine new series, while CBS showed only "The Wizard" among its seven new series. In its second outing, "The Wizard" fell to 37th place. For the week of Sept.

15-21, NBC averaged a 17.3 rating, while ABC had a 13.5 and CBS a 13.1. The week also marked the end of the 52-week, 1985-86 season, which NBC won with a 15.9 rating to CBS' 14.6 and ABC's 13.5. A single ratings point equals 874,000 homes with television. The premiere of Miss Ball's "Life With Lucy," lambasted by the critics, ranked 23rd and won its time TV Listings EVENING 6:00 2 5 (3D 14 25 News GD $100,000 Pyramid 4 Newsroom 7 Carbondale TeleCommu-nique GD 9 MacNeil-Lehrer Newsh-our 2D New Newlywed Game (ID Magnum, P.I.

Rival researchers considered that a lackluster performance, particularly since CBS' tracking study found more people aware of "Life With Lucy" than any other new show. ABC's Marvin Mord, vice president for marketing and research services; said Miss Ball's show "performed reasonably well." In other premieres, ABC's "Star-man" was 26th, ABC's "Sidekicks" 30th, ABC's "Ellen Burstyn Show" 31st, ABC's "Jack and Mike" 37th and ABC's "Heart of the City" 56th out of 59 shows.

Tartikoff said the biggest surprise was "Crime Story," the cop show set in Chicago in the 1960s. Although it will be on Tuesday against ABC's tough "Moonlighting," "Crime Story" was introduced last week after "The Cosby Show," then given a spot behind "Miami Vice" the next night. The two-hour opener had a 20.1 rating and the follow-up ranked 14th with a 17.0 rating. "Easy Street," Loni Anderson's sitcom, performed well after "The Golden Girls" on Saturday, but eventually will face CBS' "Murder, She Wrote," a Top 10 show, on Sunday. Off to a good start is NBC's "Our House," starring Wilford Brimley.

In its third outing, second in its Sunday spot against "60 Minutes" and "The Disney Sunday Movie," "Our House" ranked 25th.
