Heroes

Heroes is an American science fiction television drama series created by Tim Kring, which premiered on NBC on September 25, 2006. The plot tells the stories of disparate and ordinary individuals from around the world who inexplicably develop superhuman abilities, and their roles in preventing catastrophes and saving humanity. The series emulates the aesthetic style and storytelling of American comic books, using short, multi-episode story arcs that build upon a larger, more encompassing arc.  The series is produced by Universal Media Studios in association with Tailwind Productions,[3] and it is filmed primarily in Los AngelesCalifornia. The executive producers for the show areAllan ArkushDennis HammerGreg Beeman and Tim Kring.

The critically acclaimed first season's run of 23 episodes garnered an average of 14.3 million viewers in the United States, receiving the highest rating for any NBC drama premiere in five years. The second season of Heroes attracted an average of 13.1 million viewers in the United States. The second season was NBC's top series in adults 18-49, the top Monday series on any network in adults 18–49, and the top scripted series on any network in adults 18-34. In addition, the second season marked NBC's sole series among the top 20 ranked programs in total viewership for the 2007-2008 season, according to Nielsen Media Research. A total of 24 episodes were ordered for the second season, but only eleven episodes were broadcast, due to the 100-day strike by the Writers Guild of America. The dispute led to the initial postponement and eventual cancellation of a six episode spin-off titled Heroes: OriginsHeroes returned with its third season on September 22, 2008.

A digital-internet extension of the series, Heroes 360 Experience, was created to explore the Heroes universe and provides insight into the show's mythology. It was rebranded as Heroes Evolutions at the beginning of the second season. Heroes Evolutions also includesgraphic novels, which have been released every Tuesday since September 25, 2006, and were published by WildStorm Comics on November 7, 2007. Other official Heroes media include magazines, action figures, tie-in and interactive websites, a mobile game, a novel, clothing and other merchandise. NBC Universal announced on April 2, 2008, that NBC Digital Entertainment would release a series of online content for the summer and fall of 2008, including more original web content, wireless iTV interactivity, graphic novels available for mobile viewing andwebisodes.

Heroes has garnered a number of awards and nominations. On July 19, 2007 Heroes was nominated in eight categories at the 2007 Primetime Emmy awards, including Outstanding Drama Series and was also nominated for Best Television Series-Drama at the 2007 Golden Globes. The series won a People's Choice Award in 2007 in the category of Best New Drama, and was named Program of the Year in 2007 by the Television Critics Association and Best International Program at the 2008 Bafta Awards.[3] The series has also been nominated for an NAACP Image Award, a WGA Award, and a Satellite Award.

Variety reported that NBC has fired Jesse Alexander and Jeph Loeb from the production staff of Heroes due to creative differences and budget problems. The network might also blame the duo for the show's struggle in the ratings for Season 3. As a result, Tim Kring will refocus the series on character development and simple storytelling.

The current executive producers are Abrams, Lindelof, Bryan BurkJack Bender and Carlton Cuse.[3] Due to its large ensemble cast and the cost of filming in Hawaii, the series is one of the most expensive on television.[4]

Critically acclaimed and a popular success, Lost garnered an average of 16 million viewers per episode on ABC during its first year. It has won numerous industry awards including the Emmy Award for Outstanding Drama Series in 2005, Best American Import at the British Academy Television Awards in 2005, the Golden Globe for Best Drama in 2006 and a Screen Actors Guild Award for Outstanding Ensemble in a Drama Series.

In May 2007, it was announced that Lost would continue for its fourth, fifth, and sixth seasons, concluding with the 117th produced episode in May 2010. These three final seasons were planned to consist of 16 episodes each, running weekly in the spring uninterrupted by repeats. However, due to the 2007–2008 Writers Guild of America strike, the fourth season was shortened to 14 episodes, including a three-hour season finale (set over different nights not to clash with the season finales of Ugly Betty and Grey's Anatomy). The fourth season premiered in the United States on January 31, 2008, and concluded on May 29, 2008. An additional consequence of the strike has been ABC's decision to extend the final two seasons of Lost by adding a seventeenth episode to each remaining season. Episodes from the first four seasons of the series began airing in off-network syndication in the U.S., distributed by Disney-ABC Domestic Television, beginning in September 2008.
