Heroes is back.

Are you excited? Were you filled with nervous energy waiting to find out if the Heroes would save the world and how? Since the show hasn't had a new episode since January, did you spend the summer looking up the characters, then the actors, discovering that the guy who plays Sylar used to play Tori Spelling's best friend on Notorious, then you Netflixed the old episodes of Notorious, found out Tori Spelling is really pretty funny and you actually like her, so you started watching Tori & Dean, and then you forgot all about Heroes until you saw an ad for the premiere, but it's been 9 months, so you found you weren't sure you cared anymore? Me too.

Not the Notorious and Tori & Dean part, because I actually watched those shows when they were in first run, so I already knew that Zachary Quinto (Sylar) used to play Tori's best friend, and I've liked Tori Spelling ever since that show. She's a hoot. But the part about not being sure I cared anymore about Heroes. I'm with you there.

I know there was a writer's strike, yadda, yadda, but you can't just disappear for 9 months and expect your audience to still be there. I think the fact that they felt they had to an hour-long intro show to a 2-hour season premiere should tell you that they know the probably lost a lot of people simply because they, like me, just wandered away and on to other things.

I did give the show a chance to win me back. I watched the premiere, liked some of the twists, and will probably tune in again next week. But I gotta tell you that the real highlight of my TV viewing wasn't Heroes. It was Worst Week.

That show premiered last night as well, and I loved it! The lead character is just hysterical (such great timing and delivery by actor Kyle Bornheimer), and I always love Kurtwood Smith as the curmudgeonly dad. I don't know how long they'll be able to keep the premise fresh, but I'm definitely going to hang in there with it and see what happens.

What's on your plate for Mondays?
