8pm
The most exciting hour of the most exciting day of the week got a little more exciting when "star Search" moved into the hour. The CBS smash hit.... ah, screw this. Nothing really worked in the hour, okay? Well, "Cops" (103, 86) did what it usually does, "48 Hours" (76) started out the season for CBS, but was replaced with "Star Search," which did identical numbers, while ABC went with a movie (96) that really didn't go anywhere, ditto for NBC (105). NBC did try out "Tracey Morgan" in the hour for a few weeks, and while it ranked 110th on the season, it failed to crack 4mil viewers on the night.

Winner:  Fox
Loser:  Tracey Morgan (NBC)

9pm
Just like 8pm, 9pm was the bastion of excitement..... ABC and NBC continued with their respective movies (though NBC's was more often than not repeats of various programs), CBS went with "Hack" (75), and Fox with "America's Most Wanted" (86).

Winner:  Nothing
Loser:  Everything

10pm
There were a few different program tried out in the hour, led by the now canned "The District" (61), but even that was usually beat out by repeats of "Law & Order: SVU." ABC started out the season with "LA's Dragnet" (124), but quickly pulled that in favor of repeats of "The Monk" (116), but quickly pulled that in favor of an extra hour of movie.

Winner:  Law & Order: SVU (R) (NBC)
Loser:  ABC
