NBC tossed The Paper (0.05/0.05/0.05) into the Saturday night wastebin, and the results were predictably meager, enough so that repeats of St. Denis Medical (0.06) and Saturday Night Live (0.11) grew from there. CBS aired encores of Fire Country (0.11/0.10) and 48 Hours (0.11). NFL on ABC (2.89) was head and shoulders above Fox's college basketball (0.11). The CW re-aired episodes of TV We Love (0.03/0.02). Key: (R) = repeat. (F) = finale.
