“Heroes” Pilot is called “Genesis” and Another Premiere Date

Sam · 06-18-2006, 02:06 AM

According to TV.com’s listing for “Heroes”, the show’s pilot episode, titled “Genesis”, will premiere September 25, 2006, which is 7 days (or a full week) later than the date I had it here. Who is right? I guess we’ll find out when the show airs — either on September 18 or September 25!

(Thanks to forum member “EverydayHero” for the heads up on the TV.com date)

"Genesis" sounds like a perfect title. Better than just calling it "pilot" like they usually do. I wonder if it's a 2-hour premiere or just one?

I thought I remembered reading somewhere that the pilot is two hours long but only the first hour was sent out for review, but I can't remember where. Maybe Michael Aussiello at TV Guide. I will look it up later.

That'd be cool. Two hours would give it more room to breathe and get stuff out there. Plus since it's going to be an origins episode and there's a lot of characters i can see them filling up 2 hours pretty quickly.

Leonard Roberts and Greg Grunberg's characters (D.L. Hawkins and Matt Parkman respectively) actually don't appear in the first hour of the show's two-hour pilot. Unfortunately only the first half was available for screening.

It was in the Futon Critic review, under "What they left out."
