    Yes good i hope heroes will be on in many years .....
  • legend · 9 months ago
    Great news, but i tried tellin ppl that it would get renewed, but they still wouldn't listen, they would be STUPID to cancel such a great show.
  • legend · 9 months ago
    HEROES RULES!!!!!!!!!
  • AndrewK · 9 months ago
    This is simply BRILLIANT news! I am so glad! 18-20 episodes is a slightly shorter season, but still a decently long one. I personally am thrilled!
  • AndrewK · 9 months ago
    I wonder what the title of volume 5 will be
  • HeroesFanatico · 9 months ago
    i am glad to know this plan renewal b cause literally i will die if NBC cancels my favourite show on earth . . . i am from México and a LOT of people love the show on this country . . . HEROES 4EVER!!!!!
    At least . . . and is the lowest . . . HEROES deserves 5 season . . . at least . . . the best will b 10 seasons . . . yeah!!!!!!!
  • Mr N · 9 months ago
    Well this is excellent news. I wasn't really worried though. They would be stupid to cancel Heroes, although TV networks have been known to ruin good or potentially good shows in the past (Sliders on FOX comes to mind, though some may disagree).

    I think NBC looks at a show like ABC's "Lost" and realizes that there can be a ratings decline in a good show, but that show can always bounce back.
  • Indian Girl · 9 months ago
    Awesome news. Although I was worried for a bit, I knew that it would be renewd. Heroes is their top rated show along with The Office (which I also watch). It would have been a bad move to cancel this show. The best part is more seasons after Season 4. Great news!!
  • Indian Girl · 9 months ago
    Renewed is spelled like that. Not renewd, sorry.
  • billy-the-kid · 9 months ago
    The question now is can the writers hit us with something that will lead to a season 5 or is season four going to be the good bye season.

    I cannot believe show like Hercules and Xena can run for six seasons and Heroes is fighting for a fourth.
  • heroesforever · 9 months ago
    so happy about this.heroes should last forever.
  • billy-the-kid · 9 months ago
    Sylar's dad looks like he is dying that sucks. Killing a dying person is pointless. It should of been a big show-down between two power houses.
  • HEROGUY · 9 months ago
    yes but wouldnt that drive you insane if you were sylar?
  • yo · 9 months ago
    volume 5 POWERS
  • Cathy · 9 months ago
    I am glad Heroes is coming back for Season 4- our whole house are Heroes fans. Any lost fans of the show may me due to writer's strike last year.. I think the show is entertaining, different, creative. My favorite character is Hiro. There's so much more that can be done. I hope they bring back a few characters like Nicki's son. Keep up with the good work..
  • Tarot · 9 months ago
    I'm hoping Heroes will be around at least a few years, and I'd rather have a slightly shorter season than no season at all.
  • AndrewK · 9 months ago
    I personally would like to see Heroes with at least 5 seasons. 5 at the minimum. Ideally I think that 7 would be a good number, but we'll see. I like the idea of setting an end date, although I definitely hope that they set that date for a time at least a few years down the road.
  • Tarot · 6 months ago
    Me too. Some of my other favorites did manage 7 though.
  • HEROGUY · 9 months ago
    I think a good ending to the series would be that Ando charges the Hatian and he wipes everyones memory of everything that has happened and everyone doesnt recognize each other anymore and everything goes back to normal.
  • Herogirl · 9 months ago
    OMFG!!!!!!! this is great! i knew heroes could do it!!!!!! i wonder what it'll be called, and what it'll be about. a Five years gone season would be great, and then the heroes take over the world!!! LOL.

    And the haitian thing would be ok with me, but it wouldn't be that cool!! lol
    go heroes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  • billy-the-kid · 9 months ago
    There has been a question on my mind for a while now. If the Hatian suppresses a person with the ability to heal and they die do they stay dead when he leaves?

    If that is the case then that is why future Peter and Authur stayed dead.
  • Serecho · 9 months ago
    I hope Heroes will go on for 6-10 seasons i hate when some tv shows are so short like 4-5 seasons i tv show is supose to be long, god i love this show
  • Herogirl · 9 months ago
    IF heroes were to go for 11 seasons they would be the longest running sci fi series ever! knocking stargate sg-1 of the throne! the end date seems reasonable, but i'm worried that the heroes writers wont have enough story left in them.
    still awesom that heroes will be around longer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  • Christopher · 9 months ago
    i think that 10 volumes will be good number;)( volumes not seasons:P)
  • Heroes Nerd Grrl · 9 months ago
    best news I heard all day. My sister had told me she heard the show was cancelled I was upset. Now lifes good.
  • mama3 · 9 months ago
    Good news for Heroes fans...there is potential story lines for many seasons...can't wait for 2nite.
  • karen rozo · 8 months ago

  • ken_zirc18 · 8 months ago
    Hopefully
  • ken_zirc18 · 8 months ago
    HEROES!!!!! Go Higher!!!! yeah!!!
  • ken_zirc18 · 8 months ago

  • vivi · 8 months ago
    heroes is the best
  • Monkey-Mann DK · 8 months ago
    I am glad to see that Heroes is getting a fighting chance.
    It's a genious concept.
    However, that being said, the show has severely lost its essence.
    Peter's loss of power in season three - just a bad idea. And giving him the slightly lesser powerful version of his power, even worse imho.
    Matt "becoming a prophet" and painting the future - what were the writers smoking when they thought that up? I understand the want and/or need of a future painting character - but that could have been avoided by letting peter regain his lost abilities (possibly by letting him meet matt parkman's "touch and go" baby - hint hint).
    And Sylar. Big bad ass villain. I love this guy. But where is his sense of direction? I know he searched for his father, and I think that was a cool plot. But it needed more follow through.

    Really the all time low of the show, is the introduction of Arthur Petrelli. I mean we already had a power stealer, and a power absorber.. did we really need someone capable of both? and the guy was everywhere! I don't think it was thought through.
    I knew he would be put into play sooner or later, and the idea of a biblical father-son conflict is brilliant. But giving him the ability to DESTROY the characters by robbing them of their special powers. Omg, just a disaster.
    I'm not a writer, I'm a viewer. But here's how I would've done it; In stead of making him the survivor of Angela's assassination, I would have made his death a complete hoax, and having him be a prisoner at level 5, who escaped along with the other escaped prisoners (along with Knoxx and the others). THEN having him join up with the people loyal to him, and create his own company, as per the show writers designed plot. Because in that scenario, he wouldn't have to steal Adam's power to come back, ergo he wouldn't have to be an extreme version of Sylar. I don't know what power I think he should've had, but one example could be creating temporary insanity, or possibly giving people fake visions (i.e. giving a devout priest a vision of God telling him to kill someone, imagine the possibilities one has with that ability.). But that's a hinge that really doesn't matter now.

    Another thing I miss.. where the sense of life and death, that made season one vivid and unpredictable?
    Peter, Mohinder, Nathan, Matt, Sylar, Hiro, Ando (Especially Ando) and Noah have all been in countless encounters they wouldn't have survived in season one. (I say especially Ando because he, until recently, had no means of defending himself). Even Angela should have died a couple of times.
    I'm not saying klll everyone. I'm just saying that there's no real danger left in the series. No matter what these characters encounter, we know they'll survive. Especially Sylar.
    The only thing that balanced Sylar's unbelievable power out for the series, was Peters equal power. How choices affect mankind. Now, he literally has a free for all buffet when it comes to power. My hope is that you either kill him off, or throw someone into the mix that balaces it out. Preferably Peter, giving the depth back to the character. "Save the cheerleader, save the world" AWESOME!

    All that being said, I have to hand it to you. Putting Micah back in the game was a genious move.
    And thet episode is what gives me hope for renewing and revitalizing the series. 2 fatalities in one episode, a face to "Rebel", Peter and Angela plotting, Matt's child (hopefully a means to rectifying lost powers - like with Hiro). Applause.

    I know, everyone's a critic, and I'm sorry. I don't mean to be harsh. I just call it as I see it. I really did enjoy Heroes, but lately the charm has faded. It seems as if the writers have a million ideas crammed into each show, and just not enough time to make it all work.
    I'm gonna watch the rest of season three, and give the fourth one a shot. I am a fan of the show, but I'm beginning to think I should've tuned out after season two.

    Sorry for the length of this post, btw.

    ur idea is dumb if u dont wanna watch dont
  • Gabrielle B. · 8 months ago
    I quasi-agree with your particularly bold statements.
    Yes, Peter's sudden loss of powers was a bit disappointing, but if I have learned anything throughout the duration of the show, it is this:
    Expect the unexpected!
    The writers of Heroes aren't creating plots as they go - in fact, they are probably lightyears ahead of where we are (In plot analysis, of course) at this very moment. This is the sole reason I have always retreated back to glorious NBC, looking for more of the famous twists and turns that the writers of Heroes never fail to provide us with.
    I must say, the recent arrival of Little Matt Parkman was simply GENIUS. It also effectively proves my point about the writers' plans - Parkman's first wife got pregnant after the unforgettable "night of fun" in the 2nd or 3rd season (which isn't a coincidence in my eyes), and who would've known that her baby would have an key role in the future?! For Pete's sake, the lil' tyke has only been in a mere two episodes and has already managed to restore a portion of Hiro's powers and save lives! I can only imagine what will happen when Little Matt meets Peter.. Gorgeous baby, I might add. 'Cold snap' deserves a big bravo, as well. I mean, this episode brought back the original essence of Heroes, when any character's life could be at stake. It eliminated both Tracy and Daphne, giving Parkman the drive to venture to desperate measures to avenge his "wife".
    I do believe that Tracy will be back. She might be able to regenerate if the temperature gets cold enough - she is probably somewhere in the sewer by now! (Don't forget, lads - she was shot right next to a drain!)

    Had a feeling season 4 will be coming...now they just better make a Season 5 and Season 6.

    Can't imagine how I would feel once I hear that news.

    this show better stay on as long as it can!!!

    HEROES, BY FAR ONE OF THE BEST SHOWS EVER. NBC BETTER TRY TO STICK WITH THEM AS LONG AS POSSIBLE, IF IT ENDS AFTER SEASON 4, I WILL NEVER WATCH A SHOW ON NBC EVER AGAIN.
  • Yoda · 8 months ago
    Monkey-Man DK could not agree with you more i never really read these post that long but the start of yours caught my eye, I did say in the last blog list one thing that bugs the hell out of me is peter was suppose to be the magor power guy, all the fight sences from season 1-,2. But 1 he always got caught first and 2 now his powers are poor,
    Peters abiltie seems to have murged into his fathers, but only one at a time and he borrows a part of it? Im sorry but i really think the wrighters need to give them back to him (love the baby touch and go idea) and then have a bit of a fight with the main charaters
    (Peter Hiro Ando Matt) and the company or syler,
  • Monkey-Mann DK · 8 months ago
    I agree. We see scene and scene again of Peter fighting Sylar or multiple opponents. And there are a few references throughout the season that suggest that Peter is a real Protagonist.

    -Example- season 1, deveaux building.

    Peter: Maximum Potential?
    Raines: I think he meant you, friend.

    -End-

    If he was maximum potential, he must now be maximum disappointment. :/

    I want Heroes 4 season!!!! :)
  • Gabrielle B. · 8 months ago
    This news just made my day - I watch Heroes religiously, diet coke in hand, every Monday! I don't know how I could keep my sanity if the producers canceled such a rockin' show, but they are notorious for doing such things in the past. I truly don't understand why Heroes, of all shows, is fighting to return for a fourth season when ridiculous shows such as Xena ran for more than seven seasons!
    Peace, love, Heroes;

    does anyone know when season 3 comes out on DVD????
  • james · 7 months ago
    im in africa and love heroes but i think heroes shouldnt comeback for season 4 because they already spoilt the plot in season 3 by:removing niki,monica,micah(as a main character), nathan,and others. the fact of giving sylar rapid cellular regeneration and making him a good guy(in season 3) and limiting peter,s absorption made all ma friends lose interest in the series. i know peter took time to understand his powers, but he has been near so many superhumans but hasnt got their powers.he would also get a power and they wud show him using it for lyk 3 episodes and they wud neva show it again eg. precognitive dreaming,radiation,etc.same goes for sylar.they wud never show nathan in air after his left that round cloud and broken the sound barrier.the disappointments are endless but i wud advise them neva to return.thankyou.
  • joão · 7 months ago
    i'm from portugal, and i think heroes is great. it should have at least two more seasons
  • james · 7 months ago
    Back again.Something i forgot.If you look closely,you would realize that all those futures that they show and they somehow avoid or if one of the characters lands in a future and gets out,the present is somehow changing into those futures for example in season 1,Hiro went to the future where sylar was Nathan who was the president,in the last episodes of volume 4,sylar got shape shifting and is now Nathan!Guys,let the futures go! Back on sylar,we loved it when he was the scary guy who would rip off peoples heads and that stuff! but giving him empathic mimicry like peter was just.................GOSH!that spoilt everything!!
    also getting rid of his previous powers and leaving him with only telekinesis and intuitive aptitude was weak! there is also no action, where are the flying cars,non-radioactive explosions,craters kungfu all that like in xmen,covenant na dall that! Heroes was supposed to be the role model for all comicbook movies and series but as i said previously, it lost its plot. With all due respect to all the writers, heroes should just quit!
  • slyxx666 · 4 months ago
    i would have to totally disagree with james the plot was not spoiled at all..first of all i dont no where you got heroes is supposed to be like the comic books and even if it was it was not spoiled because it became its own plot, heroes is unique in a way that it is like no other show and it has its own adventures and keeps everyone on the edge of there seats waiting for the next episode and thats why it jhas a lkot of fan support...besides if heroes was like "xmen" or "the covenant" then it wouldnt be what it is today it would be just a cheap rip off of another story. so i think heroes should continue for at least another few series....write if you agree with me or not because we all cant be boring like james
