Does Heroes live up to the hype?

[egcarter]

I really like the show, but the question is will it be canceled after it 1st season??? They did it last year with Invasion and Surface, both were great shows and looks like they were going to continue with a 2nd season, but it was ccancel. I am still dissapointed that they did. :=(

INVASION and SURFACE had lousy ratings...HEROES always wins its time period and has "surfaced" as one of the extremely few new bona fide hits on the air. (actually ranking #3 on the air in the coveted 18-49 age group after GREY'S ANATOMY and HOUSE)

Eric - Where did you find the table that lists it as #3 in the 81-49 age group. In the Top 20 shows for the season, it does not make the charts. See Zap2it's season chart


I saw that report for Heroes for the week of December 3rd. "The rookie superhero drama "Heroes" (15.6 million, 6.8/16) continues to be NBC's big success story this season with a No. 3 finish for the week among adults 18-49 behind established hits "Grey's Anatomy" on ABC (24.0 million, 9.5/23) and "House" (17.3 million, 6.9/17) on Fox."

But that was one of its best week's so far (and one of its best episodes too!).

The show has pulled either #1 or #2 in its slot since mid-October; with three weeks in the #2 spot, according to my scan of the Ratings thread.

Oops, that stat was for the ratings book a couple of weeks ago...I see on Zap2It's Total Viewers rankings that HEROES is #16 season to date. But the most important stat to the advertisers is 18-49 rankings and HEROES is in the Top 5, I believe. Shows like CSI skew older...they may do really well in Total Viewers, but a lot of them are in Rocking Chairs!

"HEROES as the season's No. 1 new program, delivered winning scores with its fall finale. " Apparently DEAL OR NO DEAL has double the ratings on Monday nights that SURFACE had last season.

I am not surprised by the ratings Surface had; I never really liked it.

I didn't like Surface either. I was watching Invasion for 4 or 5 weeks, but after that I lost interest.

Unfortunately, I have to decide between 24 or Heroes in HD, since the 622 only has one OTA tuner and no HD lil available here.

I am thinking that is a relatively easy call -- 24 -- although not painless. Maybe you could watch Heroes online.

Things seem to slow down quite a bit. There seem to be less mystery. It feels like they dumb down the show for people who haven't seen it to catch up. The heroes are actually to explain what their powers do. The season opener feels more like a recap.

I'm still loving this show. I think the new character, Mr. Invisible, played by former Doctor Who- Christopher Eccleston- will probably push the energy back up, especially if they take advantage of his ability to deliver snappy black humor.

If Hiro is the equivalent of Lost's Hurley, Eccleston's character could be Heroes' Sawyer.

 

[rockymtnhigh]

I do like the Eccleston character; plus, its just fun seeing him on tv again. He was great as the Dr.

I am still trying to love this show, but am not quite there yet... but I keep watching.

Rocky,

Tonights episode was really good. I really love the Eccleston Character.

Did anybody notice the Numbers on the License plate of the car driven my Hero's Dad (George Takei) the license # was NCC-1701, nice tie-in to Sulu from the Original Star Trek.

Haven't watched yet -- watching 24 now (while Heroes records), but that was a way-cool find.

I am looking forward to watching; but probably gonna have to be tomorrow.
