6 million viewers: “Heroes” fourth-season premiere

* Last week “The Jay Leno Show” was the highest-rated Monday show on the big four networks. This week it was the lowest.

* “Big Bang Theory” is, at least for the moment, now TV’s top sitcom, up last night 28% from its 2008 premiere

* “House,” up 14% from its 2008 premiere, gave Fox its first-ever opening-night-of-the-fall-season win, according to the Hollywood Reporter.

* Weevil Navarro > Chuck Bass. CW darling “Gossip Girl” pulled 2.1 million total viewers last night, while the final season of the CW’s “Veronica Mars” averaged 2.5 million viewers three seasons back.

* President Barack Obama's appearance on "Letterman" drew 7 million viewers, the biggest audience for "The Late Show" since Dave and Oprah patched things up on air four years ago.
