Foxs two hour season wrap for Melrose Place drew an 11.0 rating and 18 share, just behind CBSs 11.1/18 for 8 to 10 p.m. The ending revised to skip the planned blast, while NBC's and CNBs schedules saw host changes and network moves. Peg Phillips of Northern Exposure was hospitalized with a ruptured aneurysm but expected to recover.
