The writers strike hurt a lot of shows. Heroes numbers during season 2 were good if I remember, even though I thought season 2 was not as good as season 1. Season 3 is far better than season 2. I enjoy watching Heroes, and if you surf tv land, there are so many shows that worse.

STYLE: most things in the world have already be done twice over. Heroes in my mind is a extradionary show and much more superior than X-men; which seemed to have similar stories but when you at it Heroes in my mind is much more… intelligent in the plotlines. Sad that its waning in the ratings; i wish people would keep watching; it deserves so much more than a shit and cheesy (same basic crap joke after another) show like Two and a half men. Seems like theres no hope for NBC; god i hate CBS. It feels like all they have are crime drams and cheesy comedies.
Chuck i think was going to get these ratings from the final ratings from season one; i think it will be axed. The writers strike in some way may have given less episodes for plotlines but it also gave less episodes to fall in the ratings. (therefore give a lower average).

The bloom is off Heroes?
Are you serious?
The bloom has been off Heroes since season 2, because of a lawsuit filed against NBC and tim kring, And most intelligent people in the tv and film industry already understand that fact.

Jeff Zucker is a moron, and he should have contacted those two NYC artists that tim kring stole that work from 2 seasons ago.
It’s the only way to save this lame show.
Go back to the original creators, those artists work were dynamic.

It’s really too bad that the public may never see those original story lines, because of the lawsuit.
Those story lines went to number one in season one and drew millions of viewers worldwide,
and we have The Twins and their incredible art to thank for that.
“The Twins”, are in schools and colleges everyday in NYC teaching young students what it means to be” ordinary people with extraordinary abilities”, that can paint the future on canvas before it happens.
NYC heard all about The Twins art and how NBC stole it a few days ago on the radio.
The Twins are able to send students that they teach to the Met museum in NYC to show why their artistic ability is possible, it’s called LUBA DIVINATION ART and this LUBA ART is the foundation for tim’s storyline of the African artist that can paint the future.
And please keep it mind, that while he’s being sued in an Appellate court by an African Luba artist that can paint the future, tim kring introduces the storyline of an African artist that can paint the future in season3.
Is this smart or retarded?

From the latino Isaac Mendez to the African Usutu, what’s next? The Irish artist that can paint the future? why kill off Isaac, just to bring the same power back in a black man in season 3?
The real life actor Santiago Cabrerra and his agent must be livid.

Heroes doesn’t work because it’s borrowed, stolen and hacked up material from other original artist copyrighted original works.( The Twins, The Watchmen, X-men, etc…)
tim kring and his so-called writing crew are no different from car theft rings.
If tim kring wasn’t white, he’d already be in jail.

It makes me wonder you know if network suits will give some of the shows a little slack this year due to the stop/start routine thats been happening.

Patty, CBS aired all repeats Monday night and rather than a repeat of Worst Week it ran a repeat of Gary Unmarried.

Way to go for Chuck
But watch what happens next week when Chuck is gone and TSCC is on; I’ll bet Terminator will have better numbers than it’s been getting- just like Chuck did tonight :O

What happened to the new show worst week on Monday nights?It’s a horrible show but this Monday it was not on.

Heroes in my opinion is one of the reasons I still watch NBC(aside from L&O:SVU and the original L&O and Chuck. There just doesn’t seem to be a reason to check out NBC. I love Heroes and will stick with this show. I can’t be a fairweather fan and this season is picking up the pace rapidly and getting rid of some of the flaws that didn’t get fully realised in season 2. Chuck is postioned great as a starter show on Monday. Can’t wait for NBC to reclaim the throne

Ah. So Chuck seems likely for renewal? Along with Heroes obviously.

By: Robert Seidman

Robert Seidman — Wed, 29 Oct 2008 01:29:56 +0000

the renew or cancel index is derived from 18-49 numbers since it’s our belief that is what generally drives the renew or cancel decisions (except in the case of the CW).

I mean total viewers. Last year Chuck pullled in double in total viewers

By: Robert Seidman

Robert Seidman — Wed, 29 Oct 2008 01:26:21 +0000

i’m not sure what you’re talking about. The numbers in the Renew or Cancel Index are only the 18-49 year old demographic season averages (not total viewers)

By: Anthony

Anthony — Wed, 29 Oct 2008 01:24:30 +0000

Where have all the viewers gone? It was pulling in double digits last year

check out our renew or cancel index. Right now, NBC is faring so poorly overall, Chuck looks like it will be renewed (the numbers don’t include last night’s data, but, the 18-49 numbers looked about the same as a week ago last night):

Is Chuck up or down from last week?

It seems like the only timeslot they can move MOWE to is Friday and ship LJ back to the fiery depths. I’m glad to see Life getting a… well… lifeline as it were, given that starting the season against CSI Miami to try to build an audience after such a long hiatus was a pretty boneheaded move. MOWE might be able to steal some viewers on fridays, despite it being a young viewer wasteland.

I know BL has bad demos and is a terrible lead out to… pretty much everything, except for being good at shedding the young viewers and retaining all the old. I’m sure the cost of the show is high given the cast but it would have seemed like a good Friday night show considering it gets fairly decent overall viewers and it’s not going to pull young viewers anyway. BL with 20/20… a metamucil dream night.

DWTS was so incredibly entertaining last night. We enjoyed every minute of it. From the Viennese Waltz to the Hip-Hop battle it has been one of the most competitive, uplifting, and fun filled seasons I’ve had the priviledge of watching. I know it is going to be sad for millions of fans when and if Cloris Leachman gets voted off tonight.

Kyle C, keep in mind that CSI: Miami was a repeat last night. Last week it had a 3.8 in the 18-49 and a 2.8 in the 18-34.

When looking at the key demographics, My Own Worst Enemy is performing on par w/ the 18-49 yr olds, & above average w/ the 18 – 34 yr olds for the time slot. Which is pretty good when compared to total viewers. Of course the Heroes retention is pretty bleak.
