The Marshal couldn't get arrested on Saturdays at 10 p.m. (where it ranked 88th for the season), but Jeff Fahey's ABC show reached 52nd in its new Monday-at-8 slot. Another Monday rookie, L.L. Cool J's sitcom, In the House (34th), has improved on its NBC lead-in, The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air (43rd), for two weeks running. The Peacock network placed two episodes of Hope & Gloria in the Top 10, and Dateline NBC was one of several newsmagazines that drew larger-than-usual numbers of viewers with coverage of the Oklahoma City bombing. Kevin Costner's CBS documentary about Native Americans, 500 Nations, bowed in 56th on Thursday, then fell to 77th on Friday. And Richard Dean Anderson's Western, Legend, isn't helping UPN's fortunes: It debuted in 90th.
