NBC Schedules “Heroes” for Prime Time

NBC has scheduled “Heroes” for one of its primetime slots. The exact days are Mondays at 9-10 p.m. Eastern Time, which for those of us in the Central time zone (such as myself) it’s 8:00 p.m. If this holds true, then we can catch the first episode of “Heroes” on January 1, 2007, at 8:00 p.m. Central Time. Here’s another summary of the show via Now Playing Magazine:

�The epic drama Heroes chronicles the lives of ordinary people who discover they possess extraordinary abilities. As a total eclipse casts it shadow across the globe, viewers follow a genetics professor (Sendhil Ramamurthy, Blind Guy Driving) in India whose father�s disappearance leads him to uncover a secret theory - there are people with super powers living among us. A young dreamer (Milo Ventimiglia, The Bedford Diaries) tries to convince his politician brother (Adrian Pasdar, Judging Amy) that he can fly. A high school cheerleader (Hayden Panettiere, Ice Princess) learns that she is totally indestructible. A Las Vegas stripper (Ali Larter, Final Destination), struggling to make ends meet to support her young son (Noah Gray-Cabey, My Wife & Kids), uncovers that her mirror image has a secret. A prison inmate (Leonard Roberts, Buffy the Vampire Slayer) mysteriously finds himself waking up outside of his cell. A gifted artist (Santiago Cabrera, Empire), whose drug addiction is destroying his life and the relationship with his girlfriend (Tawny Cypress, Third Watch), can paint the future. A down-on-his-luck beat cop (Greg Grunberg, Alias) can hear people�s thoughts, including the secrets of a captured terrorist. In Japan, a young man (Masi Oka, Scrubs) develops a way to stop time through sheer will power. Their ultimate destiny is nothing less than saving the world. Heroes is executive produced by creator/writer Tim Kring (Crossing Jordan), Dennis Hammer (Crossing Jordan), and David Semel (House), who also directed the pilot. The drama is from NBC Universal Television Studio.�
