Regis Philbin and his little quiz show monopolized the Nielsen prime-time TV ratings list for the week of May 29-June 4, though basketball and "Survivor" made respectable showings, too. (A rating point represents 1,008,000 households, or 1% of the nation's estimated 99.4 million TV homes.) Last week's winners:

1. "Who Wants to be a Millionaire - Thursday," ABC, 16.0, 16.09 million homes.
2. "Who Wants to be a Millionaire - Tuesday," ABC, 15.1, 15.18 million homes.
3. "Who Wants to be a Millionaire - Sunday," ABC, 14.4, 14.52 million homes.
4. "NBA Playoff: Portland at L.A. Lakers - Sunday," NBC, 12.4, 12.46 million homes.
5. "Who Wants to be A Millionaire - Wednesday," ABC, 11.8, 11.86 million homes.
