Flourishing where The Martin Short Show and Something Wilder flailed, NBC's NewsRadio debuted in a static-free 26th place. The Tuesday sitcom, starring Phil Hartman and Dave Foley, held nearly the entire viewership of its lead-in, Wings (25th). The same cannot be said for NBC's other new Tuesday comedy, Pride & Joy (38th), which lost more than 20 percent of the Frasier (17th) audience. Fox's Sliders premiered promisingly in 47th, but its other new sci-fi series, VR.5, slid to 89th. CBS' woes continued as its Burke's Law (88th) couldn't get arrested in its first Tuesday airing opposite ABC's NYPD Blue (7th); CBS quickly shifted Law to Friday. And in a Sunday-movie clash of Melrose-ites, ABC's Thomas Calabro thriller, Sleep, Baby, Sleep (23rd), placed ahead of CBS' Laura Leighton sudser, The Other Woman (34th).
