Heroes Continues to Rack Impressive Numbers

There's no stopping the cheerleader.

Last night's Fast Ratings show that NBC's Heroes is a bona fide hit, something newtorks all dream about when they pull out thier new schedules.

And it seems that the ballsy move of running Heroes at the same time as FOX's juggernaught 24 is having an impact on old Mr. Bauer.

In the 9-10 PM (ET) hour, was in first with its comedy block, followed Heroes in 2nd with a 8.2 rating and a 12 share, closely follwed by 24's 7.9/12. ABC's Supernanny held at 4th, The CW's Black comedies, Girlfriends and The Game at 5th, and MyNetworkTV's novella Watch Over Me pretty much unwatched.

The interesting part is that, while Two and a Half Men on CBS did get first place with a mighty 10.5/15 from 9-9:30, David Spade's Rules of Engagement slipped to an 8.9/13, almost allowing Heroes to take first place at that time.

According to www.zap2it.com, ratings information is taken from fast national data, which includes live and same-day DVR viewing. All numbers are preliminary and subject to change.

Overnight Ratings: Heroes Returns, Holds Up Against 24

By Rebecca Stropoli -- Broadcasting & Cable, 1/23/2007 3:19:00 PM

NBC's Heroes maintained its superpower status Monday night, airing its first original episode since Dec. 4, this time against Fox's stalwart 24.

Heroes scored with a 6.5 rating/15 share in the key 18-49 demo, according to Nielsen overnights; the numbers were identical to Dec. 4. The show helped NBC to No. 1 for the night (5.0/12).

The Peacock's Studio 60 also returned for a seven-week run. It earned a 3.2/8 in the demo, up a bit from its last original episode, which also aired Dec. 4 and earned a 3.0/8.

24 was down a bit from last week, when its sixth-season premiere aired over four hours on two nights. Jan. 14's two hours scored a 6.0/13 and Jan. 15's a 5.9/13. Monday night's numbers were a 5.4/12. Fox was No. 2 for the night with a 4.8/11.

CBS was third with a 4.6/11 for its comedy lineup and CSI: Miami, its highest-rated show at a 6.0/15.

ABC came in fourth place with a 3.2/8 for Wife Swap, Supernanny and What About Brian (continuing to perform poorly in the 10-11 slot, earning just a 2.4/6 against CSI and Studio 60).

The CW earned a 1.1/3 for its comedy lineup. No numbers were available for MyNetworkTV's novellas, Wicked WIcked Games and Watch Over Me,

Some thoughst about Godsend

First, WE DID IT! It was the impossible task, but the Heroes were up to the challenge of both Jack Bauer and the 2 and a half.

Heroes(NBC) led in terms of most viewers, with Two and a Half Men(CBS) second, and 24 (Fox) third, though the numbers had good news for all concerned. (http://www.zap2it.com/tv/ratings/zap-ratings012207,0,287363.story?coll=zap-tv-ratings-headlines)

To Jessica:

Have I told you lately that you are ties with a certain cheerleader for absolute
coolest woman on TV...which brings me to....

To Niki:

You know I love you, and it pains me to say this.......but WHAT LEVEL OF STUPID
HAVE YOU SUNK TO??? You want to get rid of your sister, yet last night she
gave you at least TWO....count them TWO chances to walk! Show me the
money......nah. Take the "...by reason of insanity?" No I'm
sane. JESUS! You're like the woman who is offered $750.000, a new
Porche, AND Adrian Pesdar in exchange for the case AFTER they revealed the
million and you turn it down. "Who needs God...when you have me" indeed,
woman! And God offered you salvation and you turned it down!!!! Makes me wonder if Sylar ever gets to you, he's find the pantry bare....

And to the Niki/Jessica haters:

This VINIDCATES me in terms of Jess being evil. The woman was trying to
get Niki to save her own life. Doesn't sound like an evil being to
me!

Excelsior, guys!
