Despite the presence of four installments of “War and Remembrance” on ABC, NBC maintained its hold on the weekly Nielsen crown, figures from the A.C. Nielsen Co. showed Tuesday. The Peacock Network broadcast four of the five most-watched shows of the week, its Loni Anderson movie (“Too Good to Be True,” No. 10) outdrew ABC’s “Monday Night Football” (No. 25) and its Vanna White movie (“Goddess of Love,” No. 20) nearly beat part 5 of “War and Remembrance” (No. 17).

* NBC’s biggest prime-time problem at the moment appears to be “Tattinger’s,” a new drama series on Wednesdays from the creative team responsible for “St. Elsewhere.” It ranked 58th last week, drawing an audience of about 8 million homes, compared to three times that many for the top-rated “Cosby Show.” The full list of ratings is on Page 21.
