It's funny but after seeing Watchmen earlier this week, Heroes seems even more irrelevant. Watchmen is everything Heroes wishes it was and is not. While Heroes wallows in the tired cliches of good versus evil, Watchmen doesn't even bother with bad guys, and still comes out with something more complicated and compelling than anything Tim Kring has even come close to attempting. Compared to Watchmen Heroes is kind of like superhero mythology for dummies.
The bloom really is off the Heroes rose. Despite repeated stunts to renew audience interest, the show's ratings continue to wan. Yet even a low rated Heroes episode gets more viewers than better science fiction related shows like Dollhouse or Battlestar Galactica, so it's staying on. It's not like NBC has anything better.
There had been speculation that Heroes might be headed for cancellation, but THR reports the show has been renewed for a fourth season. The show is not on the bubble, it's sticking around. Will you be watching?
