CBS expands schedule while MNF changes draw minor ratings lift
CBS plans to pull The Bette Midler Show from its late fall schedule for two weeks to accommodate Survivor and NCAA tournament coverage. Benes exits as well. Dennis Miller and Dan Fouts join MNF but ratings rise only modestly with younger viewers. CBS greenlights The Kennedys pilot starring Randy Quaid, and The May It Please the Court limited series is set with Lumet. Other notes include Billy Eckstine memorials and 1960s-70s pop culture references.
