- My Own Worst Enemy (NBC, 10pm): “Edward’s trip to Mexico to gain intel on Russian weaponry doesn’t go as planned.” Nothing about this show is going as planned.

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Comedy, Drama, Prime Time, Reality, Sci-Fi/Horror, Sports, ABC, CBS, FOX, NBC, The CW, Dancing With The Stars, Heroes, Ratings,
After several weeks of dismal ratings, NBC pinned its Monday night hopes on Christian Slater. Unfortunately, the overhyped new series failed to deliver. This left ABC walking away with the viewers while CBS had a hold on the demos.
8pm
- Dancing with the Stars (17.8 million, 4.0/10 in 18-49) was down 1 million.
- The Big Bang Theory (9.4 million, 3.6/10) was up a tick; How I Met Your Mother (9.1 million, 3.9/10) did slightly less.

Things aren’t looking good over at NBC. Heroes and Chuck both premiered with declines—and have now continued their seasons with declines. This lack of competition helped ABC with the viewers and CBS with another win in the demos.
8pm
- Dancing with the Stars (18.8 million, 4.3/11 in 18-49) was in step with last week.
- The Big Bang Theory (9.3 million, 3.7/10) picked up 600,000; How I Met Your Mother added on 200,000 more.
- Chuck (5.9 million, 2.3/6) slid by 700,000.
- Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles (5.6 million, 2.3/6) improved by 200,000.
- A Gossip Girl* repeat (0.8/2) pulled in 1.8 million.

MONDAY (9/29)
- Chuck (NBC, 8pm): Season 2 premiere. “Chuck mixes it up with a formidable operative (Michael Clarke Duncan) out to obtain a device that would potentially give rise to a new Intersect.” Thankfully, he knows a girl from Wienerlicious who can take the big guy down.
- Heroes (NBC, 9pm): “Peter looks to the past to stop the future.” Is going back to Season Two an option?
- 100 Greatest Hip Hop Songs (VH1, 9pm): “A five-part countdown of the Top 100 hip hop songs.” Because when I think hip hop, I think VH1.
- Life (NBC, 10pm): Season 2 premiere. “Crews and Reese track a serial killer who’s placing victims in numbered trunks around the city.” Ooh—I love scavenger hunts!

Monday Ratings: Heroes Season Premiere Down
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Comedy, Drama, Prime Time, Reality, Sci-Fi/Horror, ABC, CBS, FOX, NBC, The CW, Dancing With The Stars, Heroes, Prison Break, Ratings,
So much for trying to start over again. Although Heroes did its best to bring viewers back, the former NBC hit saw a 25% decline from last year’s premiere. In fact, the show tied its lowest numbers for an original episode to date. The Peacock’s competitors did nicely though. ABC was the most-watched network of the night while CBS had the best demos.
8pm
- Dancing with the Stars (5.3/13 in 18-49) debuted to 21.1 million.
- The Big Bang Theory (3.6/10) returned to 9.4 million; How I Met Your Mother (9.7 million, 4.0/10) did even better.
- A Heroes clip show (2.6/7) had 6 million watching.
- Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles (5.8 million, 2.2/6) was up 300,000.
- Gossip Girl (3.4 million, 1.6/4) took a 300,000 hit.

- Dancing with the Stars (ABC, 8pm): Special two-hour premiere. “The season begins with 13 new celebrities.” Any time a reference is made about Kim Kardashian’s butt or cut foot, take a drink.
- Two and a Half Men (CBS, 9pm): “Charlie runs into an ex-girlfriend whose son bears a striking resemblance to him.” As if Charlie Sheen really needed to get involved in another custody issue.
- Heroes (NBC, 9pm): Special two-hour premiere. “Suresh makes an important breakthrough.” It’s taken him two seasons to realize how boring his character is.
- Worst Week (CBS, 9:30pm): Series premiere. “Disaster-prone Sam Briggs, and his girlfriend, Melanie, visit her parents – who don’t like Sam – to tell them that they are engaged and expecting a child.” It’s always good to get the disappointing news out all at once.
