Tonight marks the finale of “Heroes: Reborn” on NBC, and a chance to at least see what sort of ending Tim Kring came up with for the epic miniseries. That’s a cause for celebration for some fans. Was there ever going to be a season 2? That’s a complicated question with a complicated answer. Kring […]
In just one week’s time, everything is going to come to a close for the “Heroes” franchise on NBC. It’s strange to think about, since basically we’re going to see what will be in one for or another the show’s second series finale. If you missed it, NBC announced at TCA that there will be […]
“Heroes: Reborn” is ultimately sticking to its original plan, and that is giving you thirteen episodes and that’s it. While at the TCA Winter Press Tour this week, NBC programming head Robert Greenblatt confirmed that there are no plans at the moment to bring the show back for a second season, not that there were […]
We should start this article on “Heroes: Reborn” off with a massive preface: We are well aware that this was never a show intended to be renewed via traditional standards. The feel here was always that it would stand on its own feet, and then maybe the door was always open in the event the […]
You will probably get the sense early on this interview that we have a deep-seeded affection for Maki Oka and the character of Hiro Nakamura. “Heroes” was an extremely important show for us many years ago, even before we began writing articles on television.

We anticipate this becoming a patter over the course of the 2015-16 TV season: Ratings being lower than many people expect or would like. This is just emblematic for the most part of the current TV climate. For “The Vampire Diaries,” what it saw on Thursday night was a season premiering with a 0.6 rating […]
The past two weeks have in many ways become fright weeks for some out there who have to plan out the schedule. Why is that? It’s become routine to just see shows start off with horrendous numbers, which really does not speak well for their future. With that, let’s look at Fox’s woeful lineup. […]
We are living in the age of the DVR, and with that in mind, live+3 ratings are becoming increasingly important to gauge whether or not a show has the potential to go on past its original episode order. The ratings are in now for “Heroes: Reborn” in this measure, and the two-hour premiere surged all […]
Going in Thursday night’s new lineup, there was really one question that everyone had more than anything else: How was “Heroes: Reborn” going to actually fare?
