I became obsessed by heroes….in season (volume) 1 it was my drug. Volume two was ..ish ..ish the rest was just bogus. So the show was cancelled big deal …sob …sob I blame the writers not NBC…..how can they managed 14milion viewers in volume one and drop almost 3 quarters as the series progresses? T-Bag was great in Prison Break and by god he should have remained there why they brought him in heroes only they know but he made heroes suck with all the carnivore crap! Sylart that character was awesome being bad, now they made him all sweet and emotional, it was hard to differentiate him with Peter Petrelli. (he was the most emotional character)….all in all heroes was awesome the first season then the writers decided to make a soap out of it. Nuff said
We want to see a movie or something, just wrap up the series come on!!
In my opinion, the only bad season Heroes had was season 2. The other seasons were completely awesome! It’s sad that the show ended right when Claire revealed that there were people w/abilities.
To each it’s own, but I liked it all the way through! Heroes rocked!!!
really liked season 4, hope someday a movie will tie up loose ends.
i am very disappointed that this show has to be cancelled. i started to watch heroes from the start. i then stopped watching because one i was getting bored of it but mainly because i had exams. my exams have finally finished i and i finally caught up with the show. and that is when i find out the the show is cancelled. i really curious to find out what happens next. is there any chance that you can bring the show back please.
this BS as hell at least make the movie to finish up the storyline
I’m with you, NA!!!!!
I cant beleive this…
I loved Heroes!!! Just finished looking at all 4 seasons on Netflix. Was horrified that I was just left hanging there. I want to see season 5!!! Was it ever made??? If it was written, why can’t it be put on Netflix since you won’t air it???
Same Here
i’ve been watching it on netflix too. now look at us… we’re stranded in the middle of nowhere as the network has completely screwed with viewers’ minds and curiosity.
NBC we need a lifeline!
The show deserved to get cancelled some of the people in that show don’t have any business being an actor or actress. the writers and producers sucked to they could of done a way better job handling the characters in their scenes…mega fail
your crazy kid!
this show was amazing!
I watched all the seasons of Heroes in 2 weeks just to find out that they canceled the show >.<
This is my favorite show and they better at least start the show back up or create a movie to explain how it all ends!
NBC really let me down :'(
R.I.P. Heroes
yeah. the writers’ strike in 2008 didn’t help either. it feels like “firefly” all over again. but they made a movie to round out the plot, and the movie was fantastic.
please wrap up the story! fans need closure!
I miss this show I still watch it from start to finish on nextflix I was boomed it stopped on the 4th season please come out with a movie
why didn’t NBC just hand the show off to another network, since million of dollars isn’t good enough >.> wish i had millions of dollars…
Only reason I ever watched NBC was heroes.
Nbc has no purpose if theire going to cancal a awsome show. im going to write to this jeffrey zucker guy and explain how hereos has changed all of our lives i want them to explain why they cant make a movie or another series of hereos explainig what happened. all the people that are speaking out of turn about this show and smallville are rightfully wrong. especially if you nevr even wachted the show
