"Frank's Place," which made its debut in September 1987, was one of the most critically acclaimed series of that season. But that was the year of the "dramedy," a hybrid between comedy and drama, and neither CBS nor the audience knew what to do with it. The sophisticated show was given an 7 o'clock (Castern) time period when it should have been on no earlier than 9, then it was bounced around the schedule and taken off the air with the promise of a return. It never did. I WEDNESDAY PRIME TIME I 6:00 I 6:30 I 7:00 1 7:30 I 8:00 1 8:30 I 9:00 1 9:30 10:00 1 10:30 ABC Wheel-Fortune Jeopardy! Growing Pains Head ol Class Hooperman R.

He doesn't use the word revenge, but he says he does expect to take a few shots in his new series, premiering in the fall. Jon Cryer in stars as a mail-room clerk at a big talent agency who suddenly finds himself representing the agency's biggest star. "It's a Cinderella story," Wilson said.

"A kid gets an enormously lucky break, and we show how he deals with it. His naivete and inborn honesty seem to work for him in a business where there's no naivete and little inborn honesty. "It's a fun little way for me to get even with some people the public thinks are wonderful and that we know are monsters." Wilson was the creator of "WKRP in Cincinnati," which ran on CBS in 1978-82, the short-lived "Easy Street" on NBC in 1986-87, and the "Police Academy" movie series. He also wrote and directed "Rustler's Rhapsody," a send-up of singing cowboy movies, and "Burglar." "After I realized I could do better work with a freer hand in television and that I wouldn't be pigeon-holed as I was in films," Wilson said. "You have more people telling you what to do in films than you do in television.

NEW YORK (AP) In the midst of summer reruns, the few new episodes and new series the networks are offering aren't faring particularly well in the Nielsens. NBC did, however, get a top-10 performance last week from the A.C. Nielsen Co. out of "The Gifted One," a pilot not on the fall schedule. "I wouldn't be surprised if it did well enough to be considered" as a possible mid-season replacement, said Preston Beckman, the NBC director of audience research.

Pete Kowanko starred as a man with mystical powers who is pursued by a scientist (John Rhys-Davies) seeking to capture him and study him. Of the summer series, CBS' "Doctor, Doctor" did the best, ranking 38th. But a new episode of ABC's "Hooperman" was 55th. NBC's "Highway to Heaven" was 58th, and ABC's "The Robert Guillaume Show" 59th. "Microcops," part of CBS' "Summer Playhouse," a series of pilots that weren't picked up, ranked 69th.

And CBS' "Hard Time on Planet Earth" was 63rd. NBC won the week ending June 25, its 53rd in a row, with an average prime-time rating of 12.3 to CBS' 9.3 and ABC's 9.0. ABC's "Roseanne" maintained its place at No. 1. The rest of the top 10 included "Cheers" NBC, "Dear John" NBC, which got its highest ranking to date, "The Cosby Show" NBC, "Golden Girls" NBC, "A Different World" NBC, "The Gifted One" NBC, "L.A.

Law" NBC, "Empty Nest" NBC and "Murder, She Wrote" CBS. ABC added "Coach" to the top 20. It was tied for 17th, thanks to a summer time slot on Tuesday behind "Roseanne." The lowest-rated network shows of the week were: "Hard Time on Planet Earth," "Mission Impossible," "Mickey's 60th Birthday," "Paradise," "Beauty the Beast," "Incredible Sunday," "Tour of Duty," "Microcops," "Have Faith" and "The Right of the People." The news race continued to be neck and neck, with the "CBS Evening News" barely winning the week on a 9.2 rating and 20 share. "ABC World News Tonight" had a 9.0 and 20 share, and "NBC Nightly News" had an 8.5 and 19. The rating is a percentage of the estimated 90.4 million homes in the United States that have televisions.

The share is a percentage of sets in use.
