Posted on: May 14th, 2010 NBC Finally Kills HEROES
After two of the shakiest, uncertain seasons of television, NBC has pulled the plug on their once-a-hit series Heroes.
Does this really come as a surprise? Frankly, I’m more surprised that the show made it this far. With a huge amount of viewers dropping out during the second season – which was shortened due to the writer’s strike of 2007 – the series continued to suffer from disappointed fans and abysmal ratings. Each week, audiences were subjected to illogical narratives and frustrating character turns, with episodes that never maintained the same tone or appeal as any shown in the intriguing first season.
Personally, I couldn’t make it past the first half of the third season, so I’m not mourning Heroes.
According to THR, the series could potentially be wrapped up in the form of a special or movie, but I wouldn’t hold your breath if I were you.
That being said, was anyone still watching anyways? An even better question, how will Greg Grunberg possibly make a living?
