NBC finished comfortably in first place in the weekly A. C. Nielsen Co. ratings, but the producer of “Crime Story” was called in for questioning today about the future of the network’s weakest new show.

“Crime Story” was NBC’s only show in the bottom 10 as its prime-time programs averaged an 18.0 rating last week, compared to CBS’ 16.4 and ABC’s 14.6. “Crime Story” was buried on Tuesday night by “Moonlighting,” ABC’s highest-rated show, ranked seventh. CBS placed first among news shows with a 10.9 rating, followed by NBC at 10.8 and ABC at 10.4.
