“American Gladiators” made a strong return to television, with NBC’s remake of the 1980s athletic competition drawing 12 million viewers in its two-hour debut Sunday, the struggling network’s highest-rated premiere for a new show since “Heroes” in September 2006.
Its 5.9 rating/14 share among adults 18-49, a demographic targeted by advertisers, makes it the highest-rated new series premiere on any network this season.
