that's right folks it seems the once famous tv series heroes
is on it's way to tv heaven

now i used to watch it alot during the first series,
but lost interest in the second due to issues in real life :(

anyways here's the news story



Cancelled: goodbye to Heroes

The BBC's big-budget, high-concept drama Heroes has been cancelled due to poor ratings.


http://estb.msn.com/i/EF/517E0FCB63A9B43EE5EF4AE567BCA.jpgWhen the BBC acquired the rights to the terrestrial run of US drama Heroes, hype surrounding the show was hotter than July.

An instant hit on both sides of the Atlantic, it had premiered here in the UK on the Syfy channel. But now US network NBC has swung the axe. In truth, Heroes has struggled since its third season.


In its first season, Heroes was a brilliant take on the superhero theme with amazing special effects to boot.

But subsequent instalments never lived up to the promise of season one and the show, starring Hayden Panettiere, Masi Oka, Milo Ventimiglia and Zachary Quinto, has been cancelled due to high costs and low ratings.

More US series heading for that great big studio in the sky include the legendary Law & Order (20 years on air) and Scrubs. In our gallery, we look at a selection of famous TV shows that were unfortunate to receive the axe including The Bill and Top of the Pops.


so are you guys bothered that the show is to be cancelled?
or couldn't you care less and hated it

I want to see a spin-off called "Hiro". Perhaps "Claire" if she decides to go into the porn industry.. That would be "must see TV".

Or Hiros. There would countless Hiros teleporting around and changing history all the time. In the end of the series they'd all die of a brain tumor.

I liked the first two or three seasons of the show, than my interest suddenly stopped for it. No big loss.

I am going to miss it, but it went to the shitter in season 3. Supernatural has outclassed it in every way and on a smaller budget. I would like to see The CW pick it up and Eric Kripke to be the show runner. He isn't doing much since he handed Supernatural over.

Kripke is leaving Supernatural next season. Don't know why. Saw a blurb on tv.com

Heros never made sense to me. I still watched the first few seasons on DVD. I think I'm up to season 4.

They never even tried to establish a scientific basis for it - however weak. And I know there were probably a lot of inconsistencies but I never looked too closely since I knew I would be frustrated.

Supernatural is an amazing show, but they're going to have to come up with a new approach. First it was battling old yellow eyes. Then it was Lillith. Now Satan. Who's next? Anubis? The Daleks? The only other way out is to stretch the apocalypse into next season - which would be a bummer.

I would be happy to see them go back to hunting vampires and demons, but I don't think that will work well in the ratings.
