Only "Heroes" seemed to pull in similar audiences to its previous week on the network, picking up a 6.4 rating/9 share Monday, according to Fast National Ratings from Nielsen Media Research. That would be a slight uptick of a 0.1 rating based on estimated numbers from the previous week.

That forced "Heroes" to be well behind "Dancing With the Stars" and "The Bachelor" on ABC, which had a combined 10.9/16 for the 9 p.m. hour, while CBS earned an 8.1/12 and 6.8/10 respectively for its two comedies. "Heroes" did finish well ahead of possibly soon-to-be-canceled "K-Ville" as well as whatever The CW was airing.

It might be possible that NBC is not getting a good lead-in to "Heroes." "Chuck" drew only a 4.5/7, down about a half-rating point from last week's 5.1/8, according to Zap2it. While it was able to beat "Prison Break" on Fox in terms of households, the latter show had more viewers overall. Even then, "Chuck" still finished behind "Dancing" and a pair of comedies on CBS.
