They should start counting the downloads and online views

name · 3 weeks ago

they have been and it's one of the reasons why the show has kept going, because of the dvr's and time-shift ratings. but i guess it might not be enough because those numbers don't count toward advertising rates which is the all-important number to networks.

Wow, hopefully it won't get cancelled I've watched every episode of Heroes to date and I'm a big fan I know the ratings went down cause some people might say...ooooh it's too slow no action but people have to realize that this is the Heroes Method that Tim Kring has been using since season 1 there's only one time though that I can say it picked up slow and that was like the first 3 episodes when it kept going back the the main message that peple with abilities and blah blah blah....but yeah it would suck if this show went off the air, no lie it brings joy for it to be Monday cause it's new episode of Heroes day...I kid around with my girl saying things like "BABE!!!!, I want to tell you something important, and it means alot to me.....there's a new episode of heroes today" lol but yeah the ratings will go up I know it will also I think they should start considering a movie about the last generation's "Heroes" It would be cool to see Angela and the Husband and Hiro's father kicking butt at the Villian of the time which could be Sylar's dad (just a possibility) before he got ill...anyways now I'm blabbing but just wanted to share this cause this show is Freaking Good

Are we expecting this season to have more than 40 episodes? If the show ends in May and let's say there are 4 episodes every month, it would have put this current season over 40 episodes. Or would there be a 5th season that stretches from February 2010 to May 2010?

I seriously doubt we will have over 40 episodes this season. So there might be a 5th season to end it all in May. But then again, I hope not.

um, no. the schedule for a regular show is always run the first 13 episodes, then the final 9 after a long break. hence the term "mid-season break". there won't be 40 episodes.

I've watched Heroes since the premiere in 2006. Every show has their highs and lows, ups and downs, but I've seen the writing from Heroes coming back. People were discouraged from season two and just gave up. I DIDN'T! I stuck with it and watch it every week, diligently, for THREE YEARS!!! Heroes is my favorite show OF ALL!! It's the only show that I watch on television because it's the only thing worth WATCHING!

All the television executives care about is the numbers, the statistics, which show got the higher ratings and which didn't. They always have throghout the history of television.

Screw the numbers. Ratings will fluctuate as frequently as the stock market.

This is not news, this is constant. We've seen it in television for the past twenty years! I've seen good shows taken off and bad ones dragged on the air for too long before taken off.

I betcha, if LENO promoted this coming Monday's Heroes episode on his show and showed a clip of the upcoming episode (with some cool stuff going on), people will watch. People will tune in. NBC should put a plug for Heroes on Leno's show. WHY NOT! It's the same network!

Right now, the show has solid writing, solid actors, and solid directing. People need to give it a chance. Just watch, I betcha it captivates you and pulls you in JUST like it did during the premiere episode in season one.

Actually, from what I understand, Leno is in trouble too...so he's in no spot to save Heroes. If anything, Heroes COULD feasibly save him! But I do agree that a lot of people simply gave up on the show after Season 2 and haven't been able to recover and get back with it. Their problem, not ours ;) Besides, Heroes has a huge appeal worldwide, so if it's not so hot domestically, I'm sure internationally it's still carrying its weight in gold! And of course, it's almost legendarily notorious for being the most pirated show online.
On a personal level, it's the only series so far I've made a point of owning on DVD as well as making my regular monday night appointment with the tv screen! In short, I love this show no matter what!

I've talked to the guy at Airlock Alpha. His source says that the show will end in May, which we all know is not true. This season is going to end in January, and everyone who knows anything about Heroes has known this for a while.
Also, the ratings have steadily been going up, which the article also neglects to mention.
I'm using my own contacts at NBC to figure out what is going on. If I hear anything, I'll let people know.

I can't agree more. Hiro's character is such a fucking moron. Kill him off already.

sallo1999 · 2 weeks ago

I disagree totally. Hiro is the only heroe that doesnt use his powers for his own benefit. He is willing to give others a second chance. And if you forgot hes the only one that almost killed sylar (i have no idea how he survived, i think he was just too popular to kill off). That was the producers decision not hiro's folly.

NOT A RUMOR: Trauma will not be renewed and may be cancelled before 13 episodes air.
CHUCK will be back.

This could actually be good news for Heroes.

muzzzz · 3 weeks ago

Heroes has and is still my favourite show of all time and will not give up on it. but if it wants to improve its ratings coz i want it sooo badly to continue is that the show started going down hill when they messed around with the story of peter being the most powerful of them all. then suddenly going to a powerless character of the show to now being no better than any other hero with a power. if u ask me what would make me so much happier to watch heroes is go back to when the story was Peter and sylar. they're the only characters anyone really cares about succeeding in there plan to do what ever it was they were doing, Peter kill sylar in the end basically. but peter needs his orginal power back. i dont think this post is really going anywhere but in the end. all i want is for peter to play his role like he was at the start of season 1 through to where he loses his powers from his old man.

I really hope this is nothing more than a rumor and not true at all

Sheindie · 3 weeks ago

AirlockAlpha retracted his 'heroes will be cancelled' rumor after waves of heroes fans inundated his twitter questioning why he was starting this unsubstantiated rumor. NBC has also refuted AirlockAlpha's so-called 'news'.

Tarot1 · 3 weeks ago

NBC actually denounced it? WOW. That's good for us fans but bad for AirlockAlpha's credibility.

Yami_Burak · 3 weeks ago

ee · 3 weeks ago

Maybe, they should just start a new internet overseas broadcasting format, or something. That is at least, if they don't want to fall as hard as the music industry.

NOOOOOOOO!!!! It can't go! I love it to much!! WE LOVE IT TOO MUCH!

I adore Hiro, he's my favourite.

Geno Petrelli · 2 weeks ago

The day Heroes gets canceled is the day I throw my tv out the window. There are plenty other shows out there that are far worse. Guys, even a "crappy" episode of Heroes is still solid compared to others. Also I'd like to add that Hiro shouldn't die. He's our one and only Japanese waffle-craving time-traveler, and the kids got a serious date with destiny. Parkman on the other hand... Let's just say I agree with Sylar on his thoughts about him. If anybody needs to be killed off, it's Detective Parkman. Oh and 10 to 1 says Angela Petrelli OD's on white wine and prescription sleep aids.

sallo1999 · 2 weeks ago

I think the ratings are meaningless its all about devotion. The fans are devoted to this show and devoted fans always gather followers. The followers will grow and pick up momentum in time, this show has to be watched from its begining to appriciate its value. the characters are very complex and need time to understand. They are very dynamic, one cannot assume that good heroes are always good and bad heroes are bad. This show isn't about instant gratification, its a long term relationship with the viewers. I hope the show never gets canceled, it is the only one i watch, dont care for the others.
