NBC’s once-mighty Heroes have fallen. The first season of Heroes averaged an enormous 14.5 million viewers and has steadily dropped in the ratings, each and every season. The last last airing of Heroes on February 8th only garnered a paltry 4.4 million viewers and it’s only averaged 6.5 million viewers this year.
Deadline is reporting that NBC sources are saying that the network is “working on a way to wrap up the show. That will be determined after the upfront.” Insiders tell them that NBC will soon commit to that 2-hour or 4-hour special event in midseason to reward Heroes fans.
I think the show just matured into alot of possibilities and a potential gold mine. To shut it down now isn’t a very good executive desicion. It had time off to build up a little hype. I think another season with the right slightly more realistic but still super powered style of writting would hook alot of viewers, but that’s just my opinion what do I know.
