10/10

I was lucky enough to preview part of the pilot of HEROES at the San Diego Comic Con in July and I must say it's a fresh new outlook on comics/superheroes. It was just earlier this year that I was talking with a coworker on how superheroes and TV shows need a wake up call. We were yearning for something new. I know there are great story lines in the Marvel & DC universes, but for television, this has got to be the hit to fill the void. If you like LOST, then I think you'll be hooked on HEROES. There are 10 different heroes that are ripe and ready for development. Each episode will keep you wondering about each character's abilities. You'll be looking forward to the next episode with anxiety.

Personally, I think reality TV is way past it prime. I doubt that any "twist" will ever have the same impact as Survivor or Real World. I believe HEROES will stimulate the imaginations of both young and old just as the early comic books did and yet, spare the boredom of a borrowed storyline.

I only saw about half of the pilot and was very impressed. This show is sure to take television audiences by storm, but don't just take my word for it; The pilot airs 9/25 on NBC.
