Nov 14, 2007
NEW YORK -- The new sitcom "Samantha Who?" continued strong, giving ABC a slight edge over CBS for the Monday primetime win in the adults 18-49 demographic.
Leading out of powerhouse "Dancing With the Stars," "Samantha" (14.3 million, 4.4 rating/10 share in adults 18-49) was up slightly week-to-week, according to preliminary estimates released Tuesday by Nielsen Media Research. "Dancing" ( 21.8 million, 5.2/13) was up 6% week-to-week between 8 p.m. and 9:30 p.m.
"Dancing" was the top show of the night in adults 18-49, just edging out NBC's "Heroes" (11.1 million, 5.1/12), which had its best performance in four weeks. "Two and a Half Men" ( 14.2 million, 5.0/11) was up slightly from last week while "Rules of Engagement" (11.5 million, 4.2/10) was up as well. Fox's "K-Ville" (4.7 million, 1.6/4) couldn't keep up the momentum from "Prison Break" ( 7.2 million, 3.1/8) an hour earlier.
CBS' new sitcom "The Big Bang Theory" (9.4 million, 3.8/9) keeps growing, up slightly from last week, while "How I Met Your Mother" (8.6 million, 3.3/9) was down slightly. NBC's "Chuck" (7.5 million, 3.0/7) was down slightly as well.
"CSI: Miami" (15.4 million, 4.6/12) easily won at 10 p.m., up 7% compared with last week. ABC's "The Bachelor" (9.2 million, 3.4/9) was unchanged week-to-week while NBC's "Journeyman" ( 6.2 million, 2.5/6) was up 19% from last week.
For Monday night, ABC (16.3 million, 4.4/11) led in both key measures over CBS (12.4 million, 4.3/10); NBC (8.3 million, 3.5/9); Fox (5.9 million, 2.4/6) and the CW (2.4 million, 1.1/3).

Al Norton TV Editor
Not only was the spin-off series, Heroes: Origins, where big names like Kevin Smith and Eli Roth were set to write and direct episodes, shelved but now they are planning on shooting two episodes for the Dec 3. air date, one the regularly scheduled version and a second that wraps up all the fall storylines in case the strike looks like it could continue on indefinitely.
Hopefully my weekend of prayer and sacrifice to the TV gods will render this news moot, but as of this writing, things don't look good.

Heyden a real hero!
Heroes star Hayden's surfboard protest fails to stop dolphin bloodbath
Last updated at 16:26pm on 1st November 2007
Anti-whaling protesters led by actress Hayden Panettiere have mounted an extraordinary attack on Japanese fisherman during their annual dolphin slaughter.
The 18-year-old star of the TV blockbuster Heroes joined six protesters on surfboards in a valiant attempt to reach dolphins the fishermen wanted to kill off the east coast of Japan.
But before the Australian and American surfers could reach the dolphins, a fishing boat intervened using the boat's propellers to block their way.
The fishermen then produced a long boathook to chase off the protesters.
The confrontation, which lasted more than 10 minutes before the surfers were forced to return to the beach, was recorded by protesters in a video.
The picturse clearly show the dolphins swimming on the other side of the boat as the protesters retreat.
Although Panettiere was lucky to escape the ordeal with her life, all she could think about was the slaughtered dolphins.
The committed dolphin campaigner told Sky News: "It was really frightening.
"Some of us were hit by the boathook. But in the end all we really worried about was the dolphins.
"It was so incredibly sad. We were so close to them and they were sky hopping, jumping out of the water to see us."
Holding back tears, she added: "One little baby dolphin stuck his head out and kinda looked at me and the thought that it's no longer with us is really hard to take."
"It's innocence being slaughtered, it's innocence being taken away."
"Dolphins and whales are probably one of the friendliest animals on the face of this planet."
The surfers drove straight to Osaka airport and left the country to avoid arrest by the Japanese national police.
All would have been charged with trespass, but Panettiere is now back in Los Angeles.
More than 22,000 dolphins are killed by Japanese fishermen every year. The hunt continues despite worldwide anger.
Japan abandoned commercial whaling in 1986, but conducts what it calls "scientific research" whaling every year.
It is also pushing to restart commercial whaling.
Critics say most of the whale meat ends up in Japanese supermarkets and restaurants and that Japan rarely publishes its scientific findings.
Many people in Japan see hunting dolphins as part of the national culture which has lasted for generations.

Here is a report from SKYNEWS on this...it features a soundbite with Hayden...
Since this is not a impartial blog, I give you a way to help Heyden to stop this killing.

Heroes Redux: Alejandro Speaks (in English!)[eonline]
Oct. 30, 2007 8:00 AM
It was another Heroic installment of our beloved superfriends last night! To celebrate, I've got a special guest in today's Heroes Redux: Shalim Ortiz, who plays Alejandro. As you can see in the video box above, he reveals his take on Alejandro and Maya's abilities, and exactly how long he was supposed to stay on the series...Pretty fascinating!
( To see it, go to http://www.eonline.com/gossip/kristin/detail/index.jsp?uuid=8cbe5708-e08a-4468-9dea-b947d6fe6ed7 )
Check it out, then read on for what you may have missed in Heroes' sixth episode of the season—and the spoilerific goodies that lie ahead...
WHAT WE LEARNED
Hookup! We're calling Maya and Sylar a shiny new pairing called "Mylar," right? (Much better than Syaya, which I can't even pronounce.) Those two are great together, and I hope they mate and make evil blackeyed superbabies that take over the world. Is that wrong?
Breakup! Glass-cabinet shattering Mohinder is a good Mohinder. He's like a junior HRG, channeling his fatherly instincts into violence.
Smackdown! Did anyone else get shades of Alias in the scene where HRG was giving fatherly advice to his daughter via phone while nonchalantly torturing a prisoner? It was like Spy Daddy and Super Syd all over again. (Will Claire ever get to go on countermissions and wear cool wigs?! Find out next time on...Heroes!)
EVIL! Can we now state for certain that Bob, West and Kensei are dirty rotten scoundrels? Bob lies like a Nixon staffer, West took pleasure in terrorizing that girl, and Kensei must be evil, because he's messing with my boy Hiro. Anybody dispute their villainy?
The Evidence: If you like digging into the details, the nice people that run the Interweb have posted screen grabs of Isaac's eight paintings including what an angry blonde (Niki in New Orleans?), perhaps Peter and a biohazard symbol, a vial of something powerful, a man with a broken nose and a smoking gun, and what appears to be Hiro and Kensei engaged in a fierce swordfight.
WHAT LIES AHEAD
Elle Is Super Kinkay: In ep 8, which flashes back four months, just wait till you see how sadistic our darling Kristen Bell can be as she gleefully zaps and zings Peter. Oh, and FYI, their lips might kinda sorta meet. And oh yeah, I might freak. I mean, Veronica and Jess lip-locking? Hello? That's the stuff of TV legends!
Maya Is Super Bad: And not in a fun Michael Cera of Superbad way—more like a Bill from Kill Bill kinda way. Just wait till you see what she did four months ago! You'll think her brother is a saint.
Nathan Is Super Lucky: You know that creeptastic burned dude Mr. Petrelli keeps seeing in the mirror? Sources confirm to me that's most definitely Nathan just a few months back, and the reason he looks so good is that (a) Adrian Pasdar is genetically blessed and (b) there's a cool new "cure" of sorts that could do a whole lotta people some good—including Nathan and, I don't know, perhaps Isaac and D.L. and Simone and Daddy Suresh, to name a few.
Kensei Is Super Old: 400 years old and he looks that good without a smidge of Botox? No fair! And he might even have picked himself up an Anglo name! You'll see very soon, and so will Peter, who gets a new bunkmate.
A Hero Is Super Dead: Sylar's gonna kill a Hero. A non-Hero's gonna kill a non-Hero. And then Sylar's gonna kill another Hero. Yeah, news flash: The guy's still ridonkulously evil. Don't let that shiny new Mylar fool you!
Until next time, post your theories, comments, rants and raves below. And given what Shalim says in the video clip, perhaps we should start a death pool? I'm just sayin'...
