HEROES Goes Green For November Sweeps
October 28, 2009 by Grace
I wonder how HEROES is going to add an environmental impact into one of its episodes? I just read from NBC that HEROES will have a special “green-themed” episode around November 15-22. That week’s episode is 4.10 “Brother’s Keeper”, so that might be a clue about the episode’s slant for that week. Maybe it’s about keeping the earth healthy, and we’re all in this together, or something to that effect.
Other NBC shows with a green theme are "The Biggest Loser," "Mercy," "Trauma," "Law & Order: SVU," "Parks and Recreation," "The Office," "30 Rock" and "Law & Order." NBC …read more

August 15, 2009 by Grace
Finally in one complete package, NBC releases the official word on Heroes season 4. Now we’ve seen several spoilers about the volume called Redemption but this is a good one. The only thing missing are photos.
Tim Kring has always said the show is about extra-ordinary people trying to live with their powers, and in volume 5, the heroes ask the questions again –
“Who are we? What does having powers mean to the world? How should we live our lives – shameful or proud? Should we hide or live out in the open? And if the world of powers …read more

It’s like this. It was supposed to be just a line party before the “Heroes” panel at SDCC on Saturday, so fans get to have fun while waiting in line (get in – “line” party). Well, NBC heard about that and decided to get the fans a proper venue… and throw in some talent appearances in there too.

NBC Primetime Shakeup: “Heroes” slot to move early and shares time with “Chuck”
May 20, 2009 by Grace
NBC’s fall shake-up schedule is sending shockwaves through fandom!
“Heroes is moving up an hour earlier – from 9:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. and will run for only 19 episodes in the fall. “Heroes” finishes right before the Winter Olympics, and then, “Chuck” will take over midseason in the same time slot. “Chuck” was saved by a sponsorship from Subway, which was became part of the fans’ ‘Save Chuck’ campaign.
But, in a shock to viewers and producers, both “Medium” and “My Name is Earl” get cancelled!
“Heroes” moves aside to let the new medical action-drama series “Trauma” take over …read more
Jeph Loeb, Jesse Alexander axed from "Heroes"
November 3, 2008 by Grace
SHOCKING NEWS!!! Jeph Loeb and Jesse Alexander were fired from “Heroes”!
As writer-producers, Loeb and Alexander were also in charge of day-to-day productions. Alexander directed last week’s episode, and Loeb already finished the script for the volume 3 finale called “War.”
According to Variety, the writers were fired from the show because of creative differences, an overwhelming pressure to slash the show’s $4 mllion/episode budget, and a falling show ratings. Apparently, NBC does not like where show is going. The Entertainment Weekly article that came out last week may have been the last straw.
Would the firing of the writer-producers …read more

“Heroes: Generations” may end early!! “Origins” shelved
Ever have one of those feelings when your favorite TV show ends prematurely?! This is like one of them, although only a little, but the feeling is the same.
Heroes:Generations may end sooner than we all like, what with the NBC writers’ strike confirmed to begin on Monday. TV Guide’s Ausiello reports that the Heroes cast is coming back to shoot an alternate ending for the December 3 episode that can be used as a season finale!
On top of that, the spin-off Heroes:Origins have been officially, indefinitely shelved.
OK, I feel sick now.

Breaking News!!!
A brewing writers’ strike has NBC cancelling the Heroes: Origins, the much-publicized Heroes spin-off!
TV Guide has the scoop -
The network declined comment, but sources said the possible strike by the Writers Guild of America — which could happen after the guild’s contract expires midnight Thursday — played a role in the decision.
