NBC's Heroes Losing Flight



According to sources, Heroes has struggled with the ratings for their third season. They have reached numerous lows this year. Many fans have criticised the show saying, "they're just not able to re-capture the magic they had back in Season 1." Some have completely stopped tuning in due to poor story-telling. The show just couldn't revive itself after a mediocre second season, and the Writer's Strike.

And to add to this, NBC excutives have fired long-time producers, Jeese Alexander and Jeph Loeb. The duo had been a part of the show since season 1, and were known to have led the day-to-day production operation under the direction of creator/executive producer Tim Kring.



It is said that Alexander and Loeb were let go due to creative differences. Apparently, NBC had been frustrated with the direction the show has been taking.

Sources also say that the show has been dealing with hefty budget overruns, and that they're going well beyond their usual $4 million per episode.
In my opinion, I think the show is awesome. They've definitely taken notice to the problems they had in Season 2 and have made Season 3 a lot better. I think that the show really took a hit because of the Writer's Strike. They weren't able to completely tell the story of Season 2, and they were just gone for way too long. I'm sure some fans had lost their excitement somewhere along the way. But honestly, I think Season 3 is a lot better. The stories are tighter, and is moving at an ideal pace. I hope more fans tune in cuz I'm not ready to say goodbye to the show just yet.

What do you think? Comment!
