Even if those questions were along the lines of “What color are my shoes?”
The premiere tanked badly…what are the chances that NBC cancels this before the season is over?
NBC are batting around moving this to Fridays. Good night, Kring.

Not that I don’t believe you, but where’d you hear that?

Well to be fair it was pretty good in it’s first season. Oh don’t get me wrong there were plenty of problems but all in all it was a good season with a horrible finale. Then…everything went bad. Although it usually does when you introduce fucking time travel.
Between this and Leno NBC is bleeding from the ass this year.
I used to make excuses for this show. Now even watching this is a chore. There’s no sense of suspense or credibility. Just plot devices moving cardboard characters forward.
A pity though. I am a sucker for “Everymen” superhero stories.
I haven’t watched this since halfway through season 1, so I hope this doesn’t come off as trolling, but I believe this show’s concept is absolutely killer and should have resulted in a great addictive show. They fucked it up, just about right out of the gate.
I agree, that’s the real tragedy of this show. Nobody’s going to pick up this ball and run with it now. It’s dirty.
Agreed. We’ve been fucked over way too many times.
It’s like, I have the episode but it’s a chore to even sit down to watch it, because I could be sleeping instead. It’ll get watched eventually though.
I liked their initial idea of Season 2, which was I believe to follow a new set of people and have the Heroes of Season 1 take a back seat, or barely feature at all. Ever since that was nixed the show has spiraled out of control.
Still, Season 1 was still badly written stuff, but at least there was momentum to the show (I think?). I stopped watching part way through Season 3, mainly because they completely wasted Bubbles from The Wire, and because they had a great chance to be rid of Ali Larter and instead decided she was some kind of acting Chameleon.
We did it. We deleted it from the DVR. The wife and I finally wisened up and deleted it as I was adding Modern Family. I feel so…clean. Fuck you Kring, fuck you.
I gave up on this show about in season 2. Right around the time the woman who cried Black tears showed up and everyone talked in bad Irish accents.
The trouble with this show is they went to OTT with the powers. Sylar and Peter were insainly powerful very quickly and where do you go from there?

And despite both being gods on earth THEY NEVER FUCKING FOUGHT! At least not for more than 2 seconds at the end of season 1.
Didn’t they fight though? Behind closed doors, because it’s better if it’s left up to the imagination instead of shown to the audience.
Remember at the height of its popularity, when there was going to be a spin-off anthology series, and the most popular characters from that show would be moved on to the main show? That was cute.
Yeah I watched the premier. You know what it was like? It was like watching Transformers 2. Sure the mechanics were better storytelling-wise but damn if it wasn’t just as much of a chore to just finish the fucking thing.
The most frustrating thing about the show is not only a great concept wasted but every now and then (“Cold Snap” and "Company Man"
the show flirts with taking that next step and getting legendary only to have the next episode go back to
being retarded all over again. Seriously, fuck this show for being so cruel.
I’m basically staying away from NBC on Mondays until Chuck returns.
Just on Mondays?
I don’t think NBC has a show currently on-air that I watch… oh, Law & Order, so 1 decent show.
The Thursday night group of shows is pretty solid. I also enjoy SNL and Conan. However, NBC’s line up starts looking weak after that.
