Mc Born Loser NEW YORK (AP) NBC reclaimed first place in the prime-time ratings race with its highest weekly average this season, except for three weeks last fall when World Series games upped the network's ratings.

NBC had won the first 15 weeks of the season, then lost two weeks in a row to CBS. Last week, with the network's regular prime-time schedule not subject to pre-emption for sports, NBC racked up all-time high ratings for two series, a season high for another and a season second-highest for a made-for-TV movie. NBC won the week with a rating of 19.1 and an average share of the viewing audience of 29. CBS had a rating of 15.9 and a 24 share, and ABC had a rating of 13.9 and a 21 share. "This is a decisive win for us after the other two," said NBC spokesman Curt Block.

Laura Swaim, director of NBC's television network research, said the average for the week was NBC's highest since October when the World Series gave the network its highest rating of the season, 21.7. NBC has a season-to-date, prime-time average rating of 17.9, CBS has a 16.0 and ABC has 13.9. The rating measures the total households with television tuned in to the network. One point equals 874,000 homes. The share is the percentage of the viewing "The key thing is on Friday we didn't have our regular schedule.

The previous week, we had an average rating of 19.5. The following Friday, without our regular schedule, we lost almost four rating points," said Michael Eisenberg, CBS director of audience measurement. The CBS lineup was pre-empted by special movies. NBC also won the news ratings race last week. Its "Nightly News" had an average rating of 13.1, the "CBS Evening News" rated an average 13.0 and ABC's "World News Tonight" average 10.8.

The NBC movie "Blood Vows: The Story of a Mafia Wife," attracted the second-highest audience of the season for a TV movie. It was in 8th place last week with a rating of 24.8. The highest-rated TV movie, also on NBC, was "Stranded" with Loni Anderson and Perry King, getting a 24.9 back in September. The first of Shirley MacLaine's two-part autobiographical quest for the meaning of life, "Out on a Limb" on ABC, did not fare well in the ratings. It was third in the time period and 48th among the 71 shows ranked last week, with a rating of 13.8.

The lowest-rated show of the week was ABC's sacrifice to NBC on Thursday, "Our World," which had a rating of 6.9. of Foitfr KES0LT6 Cf YCUg.T&yfc FDiUT JD toU PWCKEA AS THE POOT td tfws. imz A6 THE POOT OF AJJOTHEP 7 1 VM is4 zpi Apartment 3-G 1 I 7 A I-' TV Listings EVENING SINCE I SEEM TO BE AHWOYIKIG VOU 'I TO LEARN 5 1X1 JUST TAKE MY PILLOW AWCfcafc NOT TO TAKE A fWV RjEP, J.TOY 7 SLEEP IN LU PE5SOKjAUlAv, T) LMAK60li Uil ANN'S BED AYW INTEREST IN MY A V- "TONIGHT SHE 2 ROOMMATES--- 11 HMV WONT BE fk iffiiW-i WHERE THEY GO gtU 1 Bee" le Bailey HAP A WHAT A I PREAMEP I FILEP ISH'T THAT DREAM PREAM ABOUT 1 COINCIDENCE HARA55AAEMT 5ILLY?
