"Room for Two", "Young Indiana Jones Chronicles"...

And CBS celebrated victory as the final ratings of the 1991/92 season is

CBS Inc chairman Laurence Tish said, in a memo to his staff, "I salute Howard
Stringer, Jeff Sagansky, Peter Tortorici, and all their colleagues in
all divisions who have worked so hard for h\this marvelous achievement ...
We have demonstrated something quite extraordinary to the industry and to
ourselves.  And the exciting part is that this is only the beginning..."

                                                                    [WP]

And a TV Guide survey shows that the top ten undergraduate's frequent watched
programs are: 1) Cheers, 2) Simpsons, 3) Cosby Show, 4) Beverly Hills, 90210,
5) Saturday Night Live, 6) Days of Our Lives/A Different World/In Living
Color/Married... With Children, 10) Late Night with David Letterman/L.A. Law.

And this week's special includes: "Concert for Life" on Fox, "Elvis" on
CBS, and "In the Closet (Michael Jackson)", on Fox again.  Animated
characters: Daffy Duck and Wilshire Pig celebrates Easter on Saturday
on the CBS network.   More eerie stuff on NBC: yet another reality-based
series debut on Sunday, while Sam and Al faces the unknown again
