Heroes ratings have been on a sincere tumble since the third episode of the season or so, and things just haven’t got a whole lot better for the show. That is not to say that the shows ratings are bad because they are still solid going up against arguably the biggest show on TV, Dancing With the Stars, but I know I among many others were expecting better things from Heroes this season. Here is what Media Life Magazine had to say about the Heroes ratings for Out of Time:

ABC led again at 9 p.m. with a 5.2 average for the last 45 minutes of “Stars” and the first 15 minutes of “Samantha,” while NBC moved to second with a 4.9 for “Heroes.” CBS was third with a 4.5 average for “Two and a Half Men” (5.0) and “Rules of Engagement” (4.0), Fox fourth with a 3.4 for another hour of “Break,” Univision fifth with a 2.5 for “Destilando Amor” and CW sixth with a 1.0 average for “Girlfriends” (0.9) and “The Game” (1.1).

I personally believe that if Heroes can stick with this pace that it had in this past episode (by far the best of the season) and get the show back on track, there is only one way for the ratings to go, back up.
