Can Heroes Survive?`

[O'Haire]

I don't think they replay 24.

They do where I am. I get Heroes and 24 on at 7:00. and they both repeat at 9:00 and 10:00.

So If I miss either one I just wait a few hours and watch it then.

As much as I love Heroes and how hooked I am on it, Heroes holds nothing over 24. Whilst Heroes has had some some grand episodes it's also had some weak ones but with 24 you're guaranteed to be on the edge of your seat with every episode (at least for me).

 

[GhostPoet]

But who will you give your ratings too?

I never watch live tv.

But..doesn't matter, I don't have one of those rating boxes. Can't remember the name of it...

Oh CRAP.
I just realized something...I have DVR...I can only watch and record one thing...I can't record one thing and watch the other.

guess it's Itunes for heroes. =(

Hmm...unless I move to cable and get TIVO

Thread is now moot.

NBC has renewed Heroes for full second season:

NBC has ordered early full-season pickups for the 2007-08 season for four hit series -- the comedies "The Office" and "My Name Is Earl," and dramas "Heroes" and "Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, " it was announced today by Kevin Reilly, President, NBC Entertainment.

"These four series represent some of the best of what we consider to be the 'NBC brand' of quality shows," said Reilly. "It is a pleasure to give them an early renewal to develop more stories for next year since we know they will remain both critical and commercial successes for a long time to come."

That's good for a woot or two.

And I think that will be the trend. People coming off Monday night football would rather start a series fresh than get caught halfway through. Most likely, Heroes will move to Sundays (If they're smart).

Putting Heroes on Sunday is suicide. Too much competition. Fox has the Simpsons, Family Guy, and American Dad. ABC has Desperate Housewives.

Somehow I doubt there's much crossover between Desperate Housewives (which I hear is going down the tubes), and Heroes. I can see he Crossover with the Fox shows.

But if you think about it, Fox's programming ends an hour early, Desperate Housewives is followed by "Son's and Daughters" (I think). That's a perfect time slot.

24 sucks. Heroes doesn't. Therefore, Heroes wins.

that's the most logical thing i've heard in the past few hours.

 

[gambitfire]

WOW with the way Heroes started off tonight. I'm saying Heroes OWNS 24.

 

[ken smith]

I think they will be the same or HEROES WILL WIN

 

[Frico]

Heroes >>>>>>> 24

End of discussion.

 

[Sentinel X]

I also have a "dual turner"...but why watch 24 when its bad to begin with?

 

[red-five]

heroes
24 is OLD news

 

[newwaveboy87]

i think the real question though is how long will Heroes last?

Jack Bauer is not superhuman, but he has superhuman competition.

Last night, Fox's 24, which returned last week for its sixth season, faced off against NBC's new hit Heroes, which returned with its first new episode in a month. When the dust settled, both shows were still standing, Heroes just a bit taller.

The face-off proved both shows can survive. Heroes scored a 6.5 rating/15 share in 18-49s, with 14.8 million average viewers, according to Nielsen, while 24 snagged a 5.4 in 18-49s, with 14.4 million viewers.

At 8 p.m., NBC made a good Deal or No Deal for a 5.2 rating. Fox scored a 4.2 for the return of Prison Break, and ABC earned a 3.5 for Wife Swap. CBS took a combined 3.3 for How I Met Your Mother and The Class. The CW scored a combined a 1.1 for Everybody Hates Chris and All of Us.

At 9 p.m., NBC soared with a 6.5 for Heroes. Fox scored a 5.4 for 24, and CBS took a combined 4.5 for Two and a Half Men and The New Adventures of Old Christine. ABC earned a 3.6 for Supernanny, and CW scored a combined 1.1 for Girlfriends and The Game.

At 10 p.m., CBS scored a 6.0 for CSI: Miami. NBC took a 3.2 for the return of Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip, and ABC earned a 2.6 for What About Brian.

I have a feeling it'll be close the whole season, with the possible exception of sweeps next month. I have a feeling Heroe's will take it then (especially if that's the T-Rex episode).

I never saw that particular shot. So I didn't know they had already mimicked the painting. I just thought it was foreshadowing an upcoming event.

Dude we did not just have the T-Rex episode do you not get it ? Hiro fights the T-Rex when he gets the REAL SWORD & the sword in a museum was a FAKE SWORD no real sword no T-Rex fight

The thing is. Hiro had the Fake sword in the Holster when he spun around. I don't remember what the original painting looked like, but it could be that Hiro had his sword holstered when he was staring up at the T-Rex.

That was the T-rex episode...according to the guy that plays Ando.

TVGuide.com: We've seen the painting of Hiro and a dinosaur. Are you with him when he faces off with the T. rex?

Lee: [Laughs] Yes, I am with him, I am in the vicinity. Now, where that's going to take place will be a great surprise. In fact, when we come back [tonight], that's going to be Episode 12, and boy, that's a great, great, great episode. It's a fun one

that doesn't matter. that was it. there is no importance in whether the sword was real or fake, drawn or sheathed. Hiro stood in front of the replica with sword raised. that's it. deal with it and move on.
