Heroes...or the pitfalls of doing superhero sci-fi on TV

Last night caught the season premiere of the new NBC television series Heroes.

( Television Biz 101 or why television dramas are making a comeback after an era of nothing but reality shows and procedurals. )

This may be the most interesting television season I've seen on air in ages. Certainly the first time I've had more than one show on literally every day of the week but Sat that I *really* wanted to make time to watch. Which means I'm going to have to invest in a DVR or Tivo soon. That said, Heroes is a seriously flawed drama. Oh, don't get me wrong, I adored it and will be watching it again next week. (*If you missed it - you can watch either on Friday at 7pm before Doctor Who on Sci-Fi or see it on NBC's site on the internet. Same place I saw the second episode of Studio 60.)
