No word yet on what his character will be ... The week of the July 4 holiday is traditionally one of TV's lowest-rated weeks. But this year set new Nielsen lows for the networks. ABC's ratings for July 4, which was a Saturday, barely registered: a 1.7 for the series Timecop and a 2.0 for the movie special Unstrung Heroes. In a nutshell, the Diane Keaton-directed drama was the lowest-rated movie on any network, including WB and UPN, in the history of the world. Next year, the networks ought to follow the lead of those local stations that televise a yule log burning on Christmas Eve: Just put on an endless loop of fireworks footage and go home.
