TV Ratings: "Heroes" Dips 15%
You can probably imagine ABC's "Dancing with the Stars" was the highest rated show in America last night (20.34 million). But how well did the other shows do? There were losses across the board with exceptionally bad news for "K-Ville" and "Aliens in America."
NBC's hit drama "Heroes" (11.94 million) lost 15% of its premiere audience and a million viewers year-to-year, but the latter drop may probably be attributed to stronger DVR penetration.
The ratings for FOX's "Prison Break" are nothing to write home about (7.22 million), but they have at least remained steady since the first episode. This is not the case with its lead-out "K-Ville" which continues its decline (5.48 million) although it originally exceeded PB two weeks ago.
Since the show is the second most expensive new series to advertise on, you can bet FOX is very unhappy about this. Will "K-Ville" join "Nashville" in the Hiatus Zone? Last year the canceled "Vanished" did considerably better with over 7 million viewers.
"Aliens of America" (which was still excellent despite replacing the great actor who played dad) was the lowest-rated comedy in the CW's Monday comedy block (2.33 million), but at least it did as well as "All of Us" in 2006. The premiere of "Everybody Hates Chris" at 8/7c pulled in 2.58 million viewers.
New NBC shows "Chuck" (8.22 million) and "Journeyman" (8.39 million) also went down this week.

Monday nights in television is aweful if you ask me. Monday is in serious need of something good.
ABC is going to break records with their new show Cavemen....as in the record for biggest drop on viewership. After being such a highly touted show, many reviewers lost a great deal of creditbility when they claimed that this show was something good. It's like the writers said, "Let's take all of the humor from the GEICO commercials, and we'll take it out. Then, we'll hire bad actors and have them run on too long like a bad SNL skit." Death causes the loss of brain cells than watching this drivel. That's not even delving into how they seem to take racist jokes that have been made old by the last 10 years and re-tell the same jokes but with cavemen as the target rather than black people or hispanic people...There was nothing original in this show. Nothing even remotely humorous.
There is, JJ. Its called Heroes.
