NBC Backs Heroes, New Fugitives Episode Titles

January 16th, 2009

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 press. Bromstad replied that the show was “very secure”, and would indeed finish off its Season 3 run. There were no similar assurances given to Season 4, though, which can be interpreted as a tad worrisome.

Via The Hollywood Reporter, here’s more of what Bromstad said:

“‘Heroes’ is very secure,” she says. “We have a great relationship with Tim Kring … what’s important is we never lose sight of being responsible in production. And television is about the characters and the writing, and we want to make sure that that show is on track. But very secure. I think that what Tim is interested in doing is getting back to the core of the show and that it’s these ordinary people with extraordinary powers and that they may have taken on too much in terms of characters and multiple storylines.”

Obviously the best bet here to guarantee a Heroes Season 4 is for the ratings to improve as the show nears its Season 3 finale. Given the price tag of each Heroes episode, there is a chance the show may become unprofitable if the ratings continue to nose dive. On the bright side, Lost’s own Season 3 came under heavy criticism and flagging ratings, but the show has since bounced back in both departments, so there’s no reason to believe Heroes can’t do likewise.

Meanwhile, the site End of Show has unearthed new episode titles for the upcoming Fugitives volume, including some that we haven’t heard of before. The first episode back from Winter Hiatus, 3.14, we already know will be called “A Clear and Present Danger”, but here are the rest:

3.14: A Clear and Present Danger
3.15: Truth and Blood
3.16: Building 26
3.17: Cold Wars
3.18: Exposed
3.19: Shades of Gray
3.20: Cold Snap
3.21: Into Asylum

That just leaves the final 4 episodes of Season 3 without titles.

Interesting episode titles there. "Cold Snap" sounds very... Tracy-ish.

THE MOVEMENT TO PUT TIM KRING

Dream on Angela.
Heroes is finished and NBC should move on.
tim kring messed the show up and he'd need to use those nyc artists stolen work
"The Twins: Journey of the soul" and their dynamic short film "The Letter" to bring Heroes back to "ordinary people with extraordinary abilities" number one hit ratings.
Let's see what the NYC Appellate courts will say.

Indian Girl

well all I can say is you are full of crao. They should put you in jail. Go flame somewhere else loser.

vicg68

How about we start a movement to smash your computer and punch you in the face?

kraken

Thanks for the list. I'm hoping Heroes gets renewed.

If this show was cut and season 4 didn't come out I would be pissed. If shows like LOST can go on, then Heroes should 100% for sure not be canceled. Also I really hope Ali Larter is the one who will leave the show, If It's Milo or Hayden then I might stop watching.

I don't think heroes will be cancelled. Firstly, its a number 1 hit TV series across the globe, secondly, they'd be dumb to cancell it anyway because of all the hate mail they'd get, and thirdly, there are a lot of rubbish series out there that are still on TV, so heroes should be pretty much secure-PLEASE!

Emzi

Basically heroes is amazing and if they cancell it a lot of people would get-shall we say- annoyed?!?!?

Bennet

and "Shades of Gray" sound very.. Sylarish (: I knew he'll be revived (:

Benji

Heroes does a lot better than some crap shows on TV. If anything, I would think they would cut the budget of the show. I really hope it doesn't get canceled. If so, I say a riot would start...

I really like Ali Larter. I will be sad if she leaves, but I feel like she will.

kraken

I could understand if Ali left though, her carreer is on the fast track thanks to her role in season !

Ravenclaw

Weather or not Heroes is canceled for season four depends on if they can get back the viewers they lost. All of the episode titles interest me, except for the first one.

alex payne

i love hero's, its one of the best tv shows showing, i very much dought they will be canceled, they have a massive audience across the globe as one said above me, which is true. i really hope hero's doesnt get cancelled, if it does i will be very annoyed, but i really dought they will.
im lookin forward 2 the new series its goin 2 be brill i think, i hope there is a bit more action in this one such as syler and peter coming face 2 face like they did in the future in one of the series. And hopefully it will play with your mind just as much as the last 2 series did :P

:)

The thing is, is that those crap TV shows will have smaller budgets and don't create anything as large and fantastic as Heroes does.
It won't be because Heroes is crap, because it is not crap AT ALL.
It'll be the fact that the show is so expensive, they need the ratings to keep up with producing the show at that particular standard.
If it gets cancelled I'd be upset, but to be honest, if they string it out for too long it might lose it's spark and get old and a tad boring.
I doubt it will, but it might do.

Tyrone

The titles look good....

sadie

when did heros come out on tv????

why did the directors pic the people to play the people?

I just don't see how shows like Kyle XY can survive when a great show like Heroes is having problems. Heroes is the most awesome show on TV, can't wait till It returns.

LINDERMINION

If heroes gets pulled I can vouche for most of my cities hero comunity no longer watching anything on NBC just for the insult. It is people like The Movement idiot who put the show in danger in the first place. There are too many morons out there crying about season three not being like season 1. I would be pissed if it was since weve already seen season 1. A lot of whining about how its too much like a comic book. Imagine that a show about people with super powers is similair to a comic book. Heroes is the only show worth watching on television The perfect balance between story and action and its the only show with even slightly compelling characters. I blame all you morons who prefer to watch Lost, House, or any other show and then insist on comparing them to Heroes. There is on comparison they are different which is why Heroes is the best. Its not just the same as everything else on TV it surprises you.

AMEN TO THAT!!! I COULDN'T HAVE SAID IT BETTER MYSELF
