No surprise at this point, at least with all the buzzing about the possibility early in the week. THR's James Hibberd reports that NBC is officially bailing out on Heroes, and won't bring it back even for a short order to wrap the series up. Though it did mull that option over.
Update: Apparently NBC is planning some type of wrap-up event.
No way! It's impossible Chuck is getting another season and Heroes is not.
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
It was the right decision. The show was a shadow of its former self and was an albatross around the network's neck.
Congratulations to THE CAPE for taking their place. Cannot be any worse.
When Law & Order was officially canceled, I'm sure the cancellation for this is a sure thing. I jumped ship in season 2 but I do feel bad for the remaining fans of the show. Maybe they will provided closure in comic book form
i must say, i will heroes
i wished the nbc and the writers & producers had done something creative earlier
Heroes has been dead since 2008 why was it still alive?
Time to see Ali Larter and Hayden Panettiere in something new.
I hope they make a TV movie at least. I can't describe how pissed off I am right now.
I have to say my tender ego has taken a bit of a slap. Given Heroes was produced by NBC and Chuck's ratings have been on a downward slide I thought Heroes would outlast Chuck
(Actually I thought they'd both get cancelled but I thought Heroes had a slightly better chance)
I guess Heroes' suckiness had reached a point where even the financial incentive didn't make it worth NBC's while.
They're really serious about rejuvenating the network. Good on them.
JFrick I do like that in NBC right now their cleaning house right now and revamping this network.
They need to destroy that Thursday lineup next and get us back to the Must See TV days and now you're talking a network that goes from 4th to 2nd.
This is great news! Although the cancellation of L&O was NOT needed. I was very disappointed to hear about it.
Thank God they put this out of it's misery. I watched the 1st 3 seasons and 14 of the 19 from last season before I gave up. I recall it was barely over 4M viewers and 1.0 in the demos. After a disastrous 2nd season they tried 2 reboots (season 3 and 3.5) and both were failures…I'm still puzzled how it even got 19 episodes last season. No I can move on and hopefully enjoy some better scripted shows on NBC.
In my opinion, Sylar should have been a one season villain. His storyline was carried out FAR too long.
Thank god they show lost its way a long time ago… should have done away with CHUCK to
Its sad!!!!!!!!!! but i guess im prepared
2day is now a very very very sad day
My fan repsonse: I h8 NBC, I will never watch that terrible channel again – it wasn't given enough promotion and had the bad timeslot
Boy, I would have been really upset if they would have done this last season! But this season, watching Heroes was like being forced to eat your veggies, except these veggies carried no nutritional value.
As much as I like Zack Quinto, he should have left at the end of Season 1 and made a major comeback in Season 4 as the big bad pulling the strings of another villain. Sylar became too powerful (nearly omnipotent) and just made no sense (is he good or is he bad). I made my peace with the final episode back in February. RIP Heroes.
Thank goodness. While I would've been fine with two hours to wrap it up, really it didn't “deserve” to get a proper send-off anymore than other beloved series that didn't get a chance to wrap things up.
Chuck doesn't deserve another season either, its ratings are worse than Heroes' and it's not produced by NBC.
By the way, has NBC said anything “official” yet? I will have hope 'til the very end, as I really love the show.
