Saturday

Saturday is always the toughest night on tv, and it shows: the networks have really stopped trying on the night. The result: CBS is winning in viewers, but last in adults, while Fox is usually taking the valuable demos.

8:00pm

Winner: 

Loser:  Touched By An Angel (CBS)

In one of the toughest slots on all of network tv, there is not one winner to be found. "Cops" (92 & 74) is showing some strength of late, but still isn't very strong. NBC's movie (90) has marginally out rated ABC's (95), while the one true loser in the hour is "Touched By An Angel," which has sunk to 79th, nearly reaching the lows its drew in its very first season. Now wonder's it's the last season.
 

Winner:  The District (CBS)

Loser:  Movies  (ABC, NBC)

Again, another tough timeslot, but one show has come out the winner. "The District" was moved up an hour, and although its ratings have slipped, it still ranks 53rd on the season. The only other original programming  in the hour, "Americas Most Wanted," is at 75th.

Winner:  Meet My Folks (NBC)

Loser:  The Agency  (CBS)

NBC was a loser in the hour, but it brought back "Meet My Folks" to respectable ratings. Though it's only rated 81st on the season, it's winning its slot in adults by a wide margin. Losing in the slot is "The Agency" (68), whose transition to Saturday's hasn't been so smooth.
