“Heroes” Continues Strong Monday Ratings

This is one of those stories where I could go on and on about “Heroes’” amazing ratings, but here, I’ll let Variety do the talking:

NBC’s “Heroes” delivered series-best ratings Monday night, dominating its broadcast competition in the night’s middle hour and helping the Peacock finish neck and neck with CBS among adults 18-49. ESPN, however, was expected to win Monday in most key measures with its New York Giants-Dallas Cowboys contest on “Monday Night Football.”

According to preliminary nationals from Nielsen, “Heroes” (6.2 rating/15 share in adults 18-49, 14.3 million viewers overall) was up nearly 10% week to week to log the highest regular-slot 18-49 score for a first-year drama in the past two seasons. It was up a big 55% over NBC’s non-sports average in the timeslot last season.
