...viewers seem more comfortable with. Yet ER was instantly a huge hit. In its first five weeks, the show has drawn an average Nielsen rating of 18.3, ranking in the top five among all prime-time series. It trounced Chicago Hope so thoroughly that the rival show had to slink away to another time slot. To be sure, ER gets a major boost from NBC's powerful Thursday-night lineup, anchored by Seinfeld. But that didn't help a limping L.A. Law in the same time slot last season; ER has improved on that show's audience...

Last week he did, dissolving the rebellious parliament, but his hard-line rivals did not slink off into the night.

You'd think Bob Fosse's Broadway rather than George Balanchine's Lincoln Center was their spiritual home. Catch Jazz if you can: flash trash doesn't come better...
