Grieving over the murder of his new wife (Rebecca Gayheart), Luke Perry's Dylan had to leave Beverly Hills, 90210, and his exit helped the Fox soap nab its highest numbers in more than a year (18th). But in a special Monday airing, Perry's penultimate 90210 (51st) lost to the NBC movie She Fought Alone (21st), a vehicle for his erstwhile costars Tiffani-Amber Thiessen and Brian Austin Green. On Sunday, Teri Hatcher's successful proposal to Dean Cain made ABC's Lois & Clark soar to 11th, but Robert Redford's Indecent Proposal (46th) to Demi Moore was nixed by part one of the CBS Western Streets of Laredo (12th) and by NBC's Kellie Martin movie Her Hidden Truth (20th). Finally, in a showdown of young Tuesday sitcoms, NBC's NewsRadio (35th) edged out ABC's Hudson Street (39th) for the first time.
