Soap the silly sex opera that drew criticism from moralists even before it went on the air is No. 8. CBS, by contrast, has only three in the first ten and five in the top 20. Worse, the new shows it had Counted on to help lift its ratings-Lou Grant and the Betty White Show-have failed by the usual yardsticks...
