Who Won the Ratings War Monday? Sheen?

by Staff Writer

So here are the totals for the ratings on Monday.

24 was narrowly beat out by Heroes. Heroes had 14.9 million viewers compared to 24’s 14.5 million according to Buddy TV.

But, here’s the surprise, Heroes didn’t win the ratings for Monday. Nope, it was…wait…is this correct…yup…Two and a Half Men. Charlie Sheen’s CBS sitcom had 15.9 million viewers.

All I have to say to people out there is, are you crazy? You have two quality shows Heroes and 24, and you decide to tune into a formulaic sitcom with Charlie Sheen? I’m stumped.

    What the F! I can’t believe that Charlie Sheen beat out Jack Bauer. I think that during this new season, the writers for 24 should incorporate Charlie Sheen into an episode where Jack tortures and kills him.

  2. Art Says:

    WTF? I love Heroes but I decided to go with 24. I have never even seen Sheen’s show, what is wrong with people????

  3. Aaron Says:

    I know. Sometimes there is just no justice in the world of television.

    My guess is that CBS has somehow given everyone of their employees Nielsen ratings boxes lol.

    We shouldn’t look at that. We don’t want those 15.9 million idiots tuning in to 24. If so, then the writers would have to dumb it down just to keep them. Let the masses have their Charlie Sheen. I don’t get, and I don’t want to.

  5. Julian Says:

    I love both shows. Thankfully there are torrents. :) Anyone else notice that Graham’s wife, Marilyn, on 24 is the same actress that plays Nathan Petrelli’s wife on Heroes? http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0812133

    Good spot Julian!
