'Heroes' Season 3 Premiere Ratings Not Exactly 'Super'
The return of NBC's Heroes didn't receive a heroes welcome by American TV audiences Monday night, or likely the ratings the network was hoping for. The debut of the show's third season, and its return to the air with new episodes for the first time since last December, drew a 6.1 rating/9 share in the 9pm hour, good for third place behind the second hour of ABC's Dancing with the Stars which drew a 13.5/20, and a combo of CBS sitcoms - Two and A Half Men (9.1/13) and Worst Week (6.8/10).
"Rating" represents the percentage of total U.S. households tuned into all or part a program, and "Share" represents the percentage of U.S. households watching TV during the hour that tuned into all or part of a program.
Those ratings are well off the program's season one highs and essentially unchanged from the ratings the final episodes of season two received late last year. "Powerless", the final episode of season 2 before the series went into extended hiatus due to the WGA strike, received a 6.6/9 on December 3rd 2007.
Additionally, the 4.9% of the all-important advertising demo of adult viewers 18-49 Monday's premiere episode drew is down 25.76% from its season two launch, according to figures at the futoncritic.com.
All these ratings could be discouraging news for NBC and the show's producers, which has been billing this new season as a rebound from a disappointing season 2, both in ratings and fan/critical reception.

Spike Lee film angers Italy's surviving partisans
Film director Spike Lee has set off a storm in Italy with a movie about black American soldiers fighting alongside Italian partisans in World War Two.
Surviving members of the resistance to the Nazi occupation of Italy have taken issue with "Miracle at St. Anna" ahead of the film's Italian release on Friday, distributing protest flyers and accusing Lee of distorting history.
Lee has said he wanted to set the record straight about the role played by black U.S. soldiers in the war. The film is based on a novel by James McBride and focuses on the all-black 92nd Buffalo Division which helped liberate Italy in 1944-45.
At the heart of the dispute is the film's depiction of an infamous 1944 massacre in the Tuscan town of Sant'Anna di Stazzema, where Nazi troops rounded up and killed 560 civilians.
In the film, the massacre is portrayed as a response to the actions of resistance fighters, with one of them betraying the town and colluding with the Nazis -- a version of events that has angered surviving partisans.
Lee, who is in Italy promoting the film, has responded to the criticism in his characteristically feisty manner.
"I would not allow anybody to tell me how to make a film, be it a partisan or the president of the United States," Lee told a news conference in Florence on Wednesday after a preview screening, according to Italian media.
"This simply shows that in Italy the wound is still open. ... It is up to Italians to come to grips with their past, not up to me or James McBride or the film," he said.
Members of the ANPI association of resistance fighters were not amused.
"For Spike Lee the partisans who 'hit and then ran away' were responsible for the Sant'Anna di Stazzema massacre," ANPI said on its website.
"Before shooting his film, the director should have read the truth about that horrible slaughter," it said, posting a copy of the 2005 verdict of an Italian military tribunal which convicted 10 ex-Nazi officers for the murders.
