A ton of great news came out of today’s NBC “up-fronts” announcement. The one item that I’m most excited about is the announcement of the September 15th premiere of the third season of “Heroes.”
The action/drama will return with a 1-hour clip show followed by a 2 hour premiere episode. This season is said to focus on the villains on the “Heroes” world and how they rise to power.
Other cool shows that will return next season:
“Friday Night Lights” will return with its third season in February (DirecTV will air it starting in October)
“The Office” is getting a spin-off, although it doesn’t appear that it will feature any characters from the beloved show. NBC will also air 1-hour long episodes in September.
“Saturday Night Live” will air 30 minute sketch shows on October Thursdays revolving around the presidential election. They will be called “SNL: Thursday Night Live.”
A new show entitled “Kath & Kim,” will premiere on the network this fall. It will star Selma Blair and Molly Shannon. It is a remake of the Australian show of the same name.
“Kings,” the new NBC drama will get a 2 hour movie to serve as its premiere.
“Knight Rider” will air in the Wednesday, 8-9PM slot
“Chuck” is returning in the Monday, 8-9PM slot, before Heroes.
Who cares about Heroes. After season 2 which was like what 5 episodes of Alejandro yelling MAJA OR MAYA or whatever her bleeding eyes name was, got verry rote and borrring.
They might as well cancel it. I remember deciding between heroes and 24 back in season 1, and going for heroes, now that decision would never cross my mind.
