This is it. This is where new episodes officially fill up the TV Grid. This is where we can finally make a good comparison of which show is rating better. I'm quite pleased with how HIMYM did. The numbers aren't good for Heroes but I don't question it. Three hours of it in one sitting may have been just too much.
See, with Heroes, it is like food and digestion --- when you've been starving yourself for sometime (when you've not seen a new episode for, like, 10 months), you can't wolf down the first full meal served to you (watching three hours of it straight?), your body is going to reject it (it can muddle your brain).
