The latest DVR numbers, aka time-shifted ratings, have Heroes ...
Heroes Season 4 Premiere Ratings Are Lowest Yet
I hate posting bad news about Heroes, but I have to post this, because it has everything to do with the show, and I’m not in the business of ignoring bad news just because it sucks. Well the news does suck, big time, but I think you need to know it anyway, if just to ...
This Week in Heroes Filler News
In lieu of a new episode this week, NBC will instead rerun episode 3.14, “Clear and Present Danger” (full preview here).

NBC Backs Heroes, New Fugitives Episode Titles
There was obviously never any danger of NBC pulling the plug on Heroes before the end of its Season 3 run, although there seems to be enough rumblings out there about such a possibility that NBC’s president of primetime entertainment Angela Bromstad was asked about the show’s near future in a recent pow-wow with the ...

Let’s begin: For those wondering, once Heroes’ current Volume 3 “Villains” storyline concludes with the December 15 episode “Duality” (formerly “War”), any hope of seeing a new ...
Tim Kring and the Saps and Dipsh*ts Controversy
Tim Kring seems to have stepped into it, and didn’t even realized it until the blogosphere picked up his comments and (as they are wont to do) sensationalized the story to within an inch of its life. The comments made by Kring happened during the Creative Screenwriting’s 2008 Screenwriting Expo held last week, where the ...
