Heroes is biggest NBC´s new series opener in five years

[ultimatefan]

According to Variety´s article on the main SHH page, Heroes was the network´s best opener in five years and is being considered one of the first true breeakthrough hits of the fall season. It had a very good average 14 million viewers and leadership on demographics 18-49.

I have a feeling it will drop big time for its second episode, though, kinda like how a movie opens these days. My prediction, Studio 60 will be around a long long time, while Heroes won't see the end of the season.

Actually, Heroes improved from its first half-hour to the second, while Studio 60 dropped. Who knows what the audience will like, there were tons of reviewers and analysts saying Arrested Development was going to become the new Seinfeld - start low on the ratings, then grow -...

[I SEE SPIDEY]

Great! I absolutely loved the pilot. It was one of the best pilots that I have ever seen, granted I'm only 22.:o

Studio 60 seems boring to me and I don't think that it, or sadly Hero's will last very long. I just hope Heros keeps up the good work and last for an entire season.

[Darthphere]

Ratings will drop, how much thats the question.

I do hope you're wrong but I have to admit this Heroes did have one thing going for it for the first episode: hype.

[Duneboy]

I got a chance to catch this last night. Wasn't bad at all & nothing out of this world either. I enjoyed the subtle approach & reminded me a bit of "Unbreakable*. I would certainly try to catch the next few episodes & see where it goes. It was definatley alot better than Smallville, Birds of Prey, & that other bad WB show that's like X-Men with the bad guy who looks like Andy Warhol. :sym:

I completely agree. Boths shows had hype, though I think Studio 60 was the one that really delivered and is gonna be the one to last.

While Heroes may have had even more hype, I don't think it deserved it, and people will start realizing that very soon.

Well there goes the Heroes ads.:oldrazz:

[Duneboy]

Thankfully Sci Fi will be airing the show too. :xmen:

[bulok]

Didn't hear about this show til much later and I am glad I didn't miss it. This show has definite potential.

Alot of predictable stuff there but so what. Best opener since "Lost"

hopefuly it wont drop to much, i deffinatly dont wanna see another good show get canceled after one season like Surface :csad:

[porchmonkey408]

If Studio 60 doesn't make it I'm going to kill myself. Studio 60 is so kick-ass.

"If you had left him on 54 seconds, I woulda given you a raise."

Heroes sadly...is a complete mess of a show that is heavy-handed and means really nothing.

exactly.

[liesse00]

Studio 60's rating haven't been holding well I think it might only last a couple seasons. Not sure abot Hero's yet I think it has potentional to be on for a long time like superhero movies can go on forever, so can this. The writers can come up with a lot of problems for them to solve. I'd like to see it stick around, I hope the viewers do as well.

[vampireslayer97]

Very happy news. :D I just love this show.

[Fanticon]

I've noticed most of the cast are in only 7 episodes...are they going to take those long breaks before showing episodes past 7 like Lost? where they don't show new episodes for over a month...and then it returns in like January...if so thats gonna suck...they've got a hit on their hands, new episodes should be filming asap.

[Duneboy]

Wasn't completely impressed with the 2nd episode. Some of the scenes just seemd quite unecessary & over exagerated (ex; Like when the football player knocks over the weapon x cheerleader & her neck snaps. That would never happen.). It probably won't make it to a 2nd season.:ninja:

This is how the series premiers are going now. They shoot enought eps to get people into it and then they sit back and see if its worth continuing. If it is they will make more episodes and continue the story. They did it with lost, Battlestar galactica, Greys anatomy and Thief.

The only one that did'nt make it in the examples i gave was thief and I dont know why. That show rocked

[ultimatefan]

According to www.zap2it.com, ratings dropped for both Heroes and Studio 60 - while Heroes retained leadership in the 18-49 demographic in its timeslot.

[Silverstein]

The show isn't progressing enough. In the second episode we've only gotten far enough to know, clearly, what everyone's individuals powers are. But we don't even know exactly what the enemy is or why. And we're only what? A day past the last episode? And the fact that they've added a new character with powers means it will go even slower.

This is why ratings will fall and the show may end. I love this show. But it's either going to have a cult following like "My name is Earl" or just disapear like "Theif" which I never even heard of.

Thats because its a two-part pilot, this "second" episode is really just the second half of the pilot, its one big episode.

[Silverstein]

Ah. Cool, I didn't know that. I'm glad...that actually makes me like the show more now.

[Duneboy]

you serious? :hyper:

[GL1]

Wow... I've never even heard of Studio 60. Heh.

Regardless, Heroes is a spectacular show for what it is, and that is a show about people with powers who don't magically become superheroes and have developed emotions and backstories.

I think everyone who goes into this show expecting to see any of these characters become a spandex-clad, mantra-spouting Superhero is going to be *sorely* dissappointed. The only thing this show takes from comics is "what if super powers were real* unless you count Evolution as something from comics.

One of the most important thing this show underlines is that random normal people wth random normal people's problems, don't suddenly acquire the emotional stability, moral responsibility and brazen courage to be a superheroic. Everyone goes through their own journey to become, whoever their going to be, whether that's a person who uses their powers to explore the world, themelves, make money, becomes famous, or simply chooses not to use them at all. There's no magic button in real life that would turn a person into either a superhero or a supervillain.

The show gets that, and that's why it rules ratings, it has random people excited, it has the ACTORS excited because it's definitely NOT a Superhero show. It just has people with powers who, if they are lucky, may just becomes "Heroes," in the same way Firefighters or Martin Luther King Jr was... the long hard exceptional way. No cheap deaths and sudden burdens can make that transition to being heroic realistic. That's probably why it's called "Heroes" and not "Superheroes." Any one who is waiting for costumes and team names has missed the point.

That said, while the fact that it departs from traditional superhero contrivances, the show has a large budget, an outstanding cast including some movie actors, and good strong empathizable characters. That kind of character-driven storyline draws people in. Oh, and it was WELL hyped, both in magazines, television (weeks prior) and even at Comic Con... it's just a well done show from conception on through. It's no wonder it's doing so well.

Will it hold on after a break in production? We'll see, but I wouldn't count it out so quickly. What's Studio 60 again?

[Fanticon]

so how did episode 2's ratings go? Are those out yet?

[Apollo]

this show was really good, i thought it was very well written
