Save the cheerleader, launch a new programming initiative?
MSN, which is making a big push into original programming via Xbox, is in talks to revive NBC’s superhero drama Heroes, TVLine has learned exclusively.
Oh god I smell bullshit, at least not including any of the original cast all of them have moved on and frankly its for the best. It was my favourite show during S1 and even the uneven S2 then everything fell apart and yeah it turned into one of TV's biggest disasters
"Details remain sketchy, but sources confirm that MSN is interested in relaunching the once red-hot NBC Universal franchise with new stories and heroes, while mixing in cameos from the original series’ cast (schedules and interest permitting). The talks are said to be in the preliminary stages."
I watched every episode of the show. I have always wanted them to tie the loose ends, but if they bring all new heroes, then NO THANKS!!!
As long as Tim Kring isn't running the show again, things could be looking very good. Amazing how fast he ran the original Heroes in the ground. Such a shame as it had such great potential!
I would Love that... I agree with everyone it has to be done right! I think that writers Strike was what made the show go downhill in season 2. I'd however love to see it back,
I don't think this will happen. I would check it out but I don't trust the writers of that show and the cast, which I adored for the most part, is very busy elsewhere I think. If they just want a show about heroes, they don't need this new one specifically. I would certainly hire new writers. This being said, I did stick with the show until the end and still enjoyed it.
The first season was awesome! this show was suposed to be "new season, new cast" kind of show...
When Season 2 bugun it lost it's way and became the show with the most plot holes i've seen in my almost 22 years of life...
PS: I will never forget when the writers made the episode ending with Sylar and Kristen Bell's (awesome) character kissing and HRG aiming Sylar's head with a sniper rifle. When the next episode started, they showed the couple have just had sex AND THEN HRG SHOOT THEM! SO BASICLY HE WATCHED THE TWO LOVEBIRDS DO THEIR THING AND ONCE THEY WERE DONE... THEN HE SHOOT THEM! What a horny basterd! That was the point in which i stoped watching...
I agree with what everybody said before. Bring back old cast, keep the story narrative of season 1 and 2 (well ep 5-11) and leave out everything of season 3 and four, like they never happened. Then it will work perfectly.
Interesting, as I also replied to someone I just started rewatching season 1. It's better than I remembered when it's watched consecutively but I *really* hope they hire an all-new writing staff if this goes forward.
There were so many stories they could have told, it's just that the stories they were telling were terrible. There are only so many times you can have a character go through a deep, personal revelation before it just gets stupid.
I loved this show, i stuck with it when it ran itself into the ground and as much as I hate them I think a reboot would be better suited for the show. It has a cool concept that just lacked direction beyond a first season.
Tim Kring wasn't the problem. The show lost its way when they put Jeph Loeb in charge in the second season. That's where Lost went off the rails, too. Season two, when Jeph Loeb took over as showrunner.

ReplyDeleteNoooooooooooo. I love the first season, but season 2 and 3 are terrible and I don't watch season 4.

If done right this could be amazing. I have just been re watching recently, spooky...
ReplyDeleteWhat's the point of having a comeback if the show is completely different?
ReplyDeleteSorry for the fans (I used to be one), but... God, no.
ReplyDeleteExactly. The could just make a spin-off, or a completely new show.
ReplyDeletethis is such a coincidence, i was watching heroes today for the first time in forever
ReplyDeleteWhat a waste of money. They should donate money to charity instead.
ReplyDeleteWe want Heroes with his original cast
ReplyDeleteplease no.
ReplyDeleteThe only way this could work is a reboot with competent writers this time
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH...
ReplyDeleteI mean... Yeah, sounds cool... like... whatever....

ReplyDeleteWell Touch season 2 is actually pretty good and he ran season 1. As long as he has a roadmap, I will follow.
ReplyDeleteThey should spend money on better shows that were cancelled prematurely.
ReplyDeleteleave the show dead. It has run its course.
ReplyDeleteI also feel it's a coincidence, I started rewatching season 1 on Netflix like two days ago.
ReplyDelete13 episodes, all new cast, keep it tight and focused.
ReplyDeleteInteresting, as I also replied to someone I just started rewatching season 1. It's better than I remembered when it's watched consecutively but I *really* hope they hire an all-new writing staff if this goes forward.

ReplyDeleteI would love to bring it back and take it into a better direction!

ReplyDeleteYeah.
ReplyDeleteplease,just...just DON'T!
ReplyDeleteThere's a reason why it ended, and it really wasn't a mistake. The only mistake would be to revive it.
ReplyDeleteTim Kring wasn't the problem. The show lost its way when they put Jeph Loeb in charge in the second season. That's where Lost went off the rails, too. Season two, when Jeph Loeb took over as showrunner.
ReplyDeleteYou mean the man, Tim Kring, who called the audience that was watching Heroes a problem wasn't the problem? RIght.
