Fox fumbled with its first football telecast as the preseason contest between the San Francisco 49ers and the Denver Broncos finished fourth in its Friday time slot (against reruns on the other three networks) and 67th for the week. ABC's Monday matchup between the Washington Redskins and the Buffalo Bills fared better, placing 34th. But the baseball strike hurt ABC, which had to substitute a rerun of the Erik Estrada TV movie Earth Angel (79th) and the pseudo-documentary What Really Happened to Adolf Hitler? (83rd) for its scheduled Saturday game. CBS' new summer series One West Waikiki and Hotel Malibu wilted in their second week on the air. After top 25 debuts, Waikiki and Malibu washed up in 47th and 50th, respectively.
