Marc, thanks for that list! It's a great way to compare shows. I realize that is probably just because the ratings were delayed, but personally, I love it! Thanks!

it aired until 10:02pm, so it'll grow a bit in final nationals... but the increase at the half hour is characteristic for the show (even if before it was more of a 6.2 to a 6.4...)
not necessarily DWTS viewers jumping over. in fact, the male ratings increased more than the female ratings at 9:30pm
where did the other Heroes viewers go since it went off the air in March?

Can you post the 1/2 hours for 24. I'm guessing that they may have dipped in the second half hour to Heroes increase? That VP/aid ickiness would have sent me changing channels if I didn't love the show enough to stick it out.
All right, I'm laughing really hard here. There are three shows on Mondays which's ratings I'm looking out for: the appalling Drive (poor Nathan Fillion; I like him), the overrated Heroes and the quite underrater 24. ALL DOWN!! Unbelievable!
First of all, Drive. PATHETIC. From 6.2 million to 5.6 million to 4.6 million? Does it suck that bad? Will it be 3.6 million next week? Then 2.6? 1.6? 0.6? And finally, 0? Because that would be awesome. Poor show, I was kind of hoping that Fillion would get a success from here, but there you go. Goodbye, Drive!
And what exactly has happened to Heroes? It's last episode aired (March 5th) had these ratings:
So, let's see. Viewers: 14.90 -> 11.98 = -2.92 million viewers. Households: 8.5 -> 7.2 = -1.3 HH. A18-49: 6.6 -> 5.3 = -1.3 A18-49. Unbelievable. It's lost HUGE numbers. Is this going to keep up? At least Lost had the excuse of the timeslot change and DVRing and a 13-month-long break with a craptfest like "Day Break" as fill-in. Heroes simply took a break and now this massive fall of ratings? I knew that Heroes' prime wouldn't last long (not that 14 million is a huge "prime"), but already? I was thinking more like Season Two.
Not that it matters though. NBC sucks and Heroes is pretty much their best, so it's standing on extremely firm ground.
Oh, and 24. I know that Season Six hasn't been too high in the quality section and not very eventful, but come on! It almost dropped a million in ONE WEEK. It had 11.15 million last week and now this. Not to mention, that this is a new low; the ratings haven't been this down in a long time. I guess people just gave up on this less-than-good season. They'll probably tune in for next season; new stories, new plots, new characters. That's the joy of 24. It's a new show every year.
Just a bit of advice for the makers of 24: pull a Season Five and KILL OFF HALF OF THE CAST. The show desperately needs new characters. Leave Jack, Chloe and Bill alive and a few others, preferably Karen, Tom and Logan. Maybe Morris. But kill off at least 50%. That'll take the intrigue back.

Let's see if Heroes has the same quality that Lost has in their THIRD season.
Exactly. Lost is still very strong in quality, even though the ratings are down. I don't think the Heroes phenomenon is going to last that long. It'll probably be around for a third season, but it's going to be "The OC 2.0", mark my words.
Isn't it kind of unfair to call Old Christine a loser when it's building off a repeat after being taken off the air for six weeks and moved to a new timeslot? Why are they any more of a loser than How I Met Your Mother?
Why are they any more of a loser than How I Met Your Mother?
Because HIMYM was a repeat (not included in loser listings) and it's NEVER had the kind of lead-in support Christine had (it's not once aired after 2.5 Men... though this summer it will be airing repeats after the big show, I'm happy to say).
let's got to the mall, everybody!

I am so disappointed with the numbers for Heroes. It isn't as if NBC hadn't used every possible medium -- internet, mobile, etc. -- to get the word out about the show's return. I wonder if the future for all serialized shows will be the "24"-style uninterrupted model from now on? Heroes' 7-week break and its "pod" system are apparently not working.
Marc and Travis, do you guys get gender breakdowns for all shows? Can the loss for Heroes be attributed to women deserting it for DWtS?
