NBC's hit show “Heroes” was up against Fox's hit show “24” on Monday night. “Heroes” won with a 6.5 adults 18-49 rating, “24” fell behind with a 5.4 adult 18-49 rating. This is the first time that “24” has been bumped out of the top rating for Monday night since the “Everybody Loves Raymond” finale in May 2005. Should “24” be afraid of “Heroes”, or was it a fluke since it was the first new episode of “Heroes” in six weeks? You have to admit that the marketing campaigns for “Heroes” are excellent. “Save the cheerleader, save the world.” Those were pretty great ads, especially for viewers that hadn’t seen the show before, it just made “Heroes” that much more interesting.

Personally, I am an avid watcher of “Heroes”; I haven’t missed an episode since the show premiered this fall. I think the show is entertaining and very intense, I love it! It’s like X-Men, but better. I have to admit that I am biased because I have never seen the show “24”. We'll have to see, maybe one of these days I will record “24” on my DVR to see what it’s all about.

There are people out there that truly believe that Elvis is still alive. That he didn't die of a drug overdose in his home. Those believers are the real rock-n-roll die hards. I, for one, do believe he is resting in peace, but a few weeks ago we had what can only be referred to as a triple Elvis second coming.

That's right - not one, not two, but three Elvis impersonators came to visit Thayer Media when Kool 105, the local Denver station that plays hits from the 60s and 70s, sponsored a short break from work to entertain our employees. We heard a number of different Elvis songs when they serenaded us in the lobby. We all got a kick out of the elaborate costumes - particularly the replica of the get-up Elvis wore at his Aloha From Hawaii concert.

My personal favorite was the "young" Elvis who played his own guitar and was very into the performance.

Here's all of us with our new Elvis friends.
