24 and heroes get pwned by Sheen
Well slap my ass and call me Jenna. The real question wasn’t Heroes vs. 24, it was Two and a Half Men vs. both of ‘em. WTF?
In the face-off between Fox’s “24” and NBC’s “Heroes” the winner was CBS’ “Two and a Half Men.” The sitcom stars Charlie Sheen, Jon Cryer and Angus T. Jones
The comedy attracted 15.9 million viewers Monday. “Heroes” averaged 14.9 million for the hour while “24” gripped 14.5 million. In terms of 18-to-49 viewers—the count that advertisers care about—“Heroes” was out out in front, followed by “24,” then “Two and a Half Men.”
So Heroes did beat 24...maybe sharks have in fact been leaped over while water skiing? The idea that Two and a Half Men could trump them both is both surprising and obvious - the average American loves banal, boring comedy. To wit: the career of Dane Cook.
Can you imagine? Charlie Sheen, sex addict, hooker-banger extraordinaire, former coke whore, boozer and general all-around party machine, is in the most popular middle-of-the-road comedy this season. What a world.

Or Heroes or 24 would have beaten 2 and a half men if they weren’t up against eachother.

Doubtful. The comedy had a million more viewers than either show. It just doesn’t sound likely that a lot of people went “Man, I have to choose between 24 and Heroes? I think I’m just gonna watch Two and a Half Men instead.”

I hate to admit this, but I love 2 and a Half Men. It is really funny, smart stuff. I know, for some of you that last statement sounds like the ravings of a madman, but I am totally serious.
But, the problem with those ratings is I watched all 3 of those shows. How many of us watched Heroes and 24? The neilsons are way out of whack with us, the Tivo Generation.

I was speaking about Heroes and 24 being against eachother, and if they hadn’t been one of them possibly could have had more viewers than 2 and a half men. I was one of those people that needed to pick between them, and record the one I didn’t watch.

And yet everyone is talking about 24, while the Heroes episode was pretty boring (IMHO), especially considering it was just coming back from the break.

My mom loves Two and a Half Men. And I think she only watches Heroes when it runs on Sci-Fi channel, and may be under the impression it’s a Sci-Fi Channel show.
