A rerun of a two-year-old Dateline NBC report about religious fanatics in a small town who blamed "satanic worshipers" for the alleged abduction and murder of a young girl overwhelmed entertainment offerings on the other networks Friday and helped NBC win the night by a wide margin. The network averaged a 7.3 rating and a 14 share. CBS placed second with a 5.1/9. ABC was third with a 4.6/8, while Fox trailed with a 3.1/6. The second hour of Dateline also produced the highest rating of the night, an 8.7/16 and provided a strong lead-in for a rerun of NBC's Third Watch, which took the third hour of primetime programming, with a 6.9/13 versus a 5.4/19 for a rerun of CBS's Without a Trace, moved from its regular spot on Thursday. On Sunday, however, another two-hour edition of Dateline (5.7/9) turned out to be no match for CBS's 60 Minutes (9.2/16) in the 7:00 p. m. hour and the made-for-TV movie Plainsong (10.3/15) in the 8:00 p.m. hour.
