If I know a show is going to end, I don't watch it. ESPECIALLY if I think it's good because my heart breaks when it ends. I never invest myself in a show unless I think it's going to last and NEVER watch the first season of anything anymore unless I know it's been renewed for a second season. Life doesn't end with a big plan. It dies spontaneously and without warning. Tv should be the same. Wrapping it up in a nice neat package so that it can be put on a shelf and forgotten about is stupid. Buffy never truly ended after the 7th season because of the Slayers' awakening and I loved that even if the show was gone, I could imagine all the wonderful stories/possibilities with that many super-charged women. (Then the comics came but that's besides the point) I also wanted to say that in my opinion end dates kill the fan base. If I know a show is going to end, I don’t watch it.

I think Heroes is being given a hard time at the moment by bloggers and people who fancy themselves critics but an end date is absurd. Firstly I think the problem with the show was the mess up of season two. The story planned for season two didn't happen because of the strike then the beginning of season three felt like a 'where do we go search' because there was no proper rounding to the previous arc. With Fuller back on the show I think it should be given a chance to redeem its former glory next season. While this year's series wasn't riveting I still think it was much better than most other tv shows on at the moment and there is so much more that could be explored with the large ensemble cast that I refuse to give up on the show. I'm loving the return of Mica as the rebel. Anyone who thinks that tv shows go out better when they know it's coming is only right to the point that they get to round off some storylines better but the show DIES I'd rather not see heroes die. If garbage like One Tree Hill can survive for 7 years Heroes deserves at least 20!!!! Heroes should not end.

It is a British show. It started in the late 1960s? and ended in the 1980s until a movie came out in the 1990s. Now it is on as a regular series again and has thrived for four seasons. Grant it, the way it works is different over there. They only get thirteen episodes in a season (although over there it is called a series). Anyway, I seem to recall what allowed it to come back was that fans. After the series ended, merchandise kept selling and books about Doctor Who came out. I guess they raised enough interest that they were able to bring it back. Now keep in mind it has been a year or two since I've looked it up so I don't remember all the details or if I even remember it correctly. But you get the idea. Has anyone heard of Doctor Who?

Let me start by saying that I consider "5" the magic number when it comes to TV series. Though I would prefer 7seasons. Anything less than 5 means its an average show. Like most things there are exceptions to the rule = Battlestar Galatica(Re imagined series) at 4 was a hit!! At less than 5seasons means -A. Something stopped the show like Bad writing ,Bad acting, Actors cause trouble and leave, or (forbid) a death in the cast. Ex: John Ritter. (Who had a promising series and was canceled the next season) My wife Cried :( Or B. The writing and acting is GREAT!!!. However the show is based in such a far-out concept that the show never connects to the audience. Set seasons aren't a bad thing. look at babylon 5. The writer JMS had the entire story planned over 5seasons before filming started. A wonderful series. A previous commenter said that if Heroes ended with great rating that a spinoff could occur. Spin-offs aren't usually a good thing. FLO spunoff from Mel's diner, The Ropers spunoff from "Threes Co." Which ironically spawned another spinoof "Three's a crowd" with only lasted one season "I think". Also Friends spunoff "joey". Right back to Babylon 5 which spunoff "Crusade"= 1 season. As before "exceptions to the rule" Frasier spunoff from "cheers" and ran for years. Both Ran for 11 seasons each. Some would say Frasier was better. At the same time you don't want to drag it out. I used to read comics quite a bit and was thrilled to hear about Smallville.been watching since the begining. Its finishing up its 8th. I heard rumors that a 9th was being pushed for. I hope not. This last season is great, but enough is enough. Tom Welling's character has been practically played out. A lot of Cast has left and time to end it with a bang. I'd push for a fifth. Examine the Rating and characters at the end of the fourth. It doens't look promising for the show. Then fight like hell and get a fifth and sixth to corral all the storylines and wrap it up. I'd prefer 7seasons at least though :).. IMO. First off ending the show with a set # isn’t a bad thing.
