NBC has officially canceled the ratings challenged and creatively challenged series. Back in April 2009 on this very site I wrote an article begging NBC to cancel the series and end my torture. At the time I knew the show was a piece of dung, but I was still addicted and faithfully watching each week. I was attacked by Heroes fans for my strong views but they seemed to ignore the fact that I was one of them. I never responded to the attacks because everyone is entitled to their own opinion. The arguments against my argument for cancellation were bizarre. I even got the old ” people will lose their jobs ” bit from one angry reader. Yeah…….I’m really worried about a bunch of wealthy actors and creator Tim Kring, all of whom got rich thanks to loyal viewers and DVD sales.
I haven't been an interesting villain in over 2 years......but I do a good sneer !
Hayden has more time to save whales and not talk to fans and Adrian Pasdar (Profit) can move onto a better series. The rest of the list of actors can fade into obscurity with their large checks safely stashed away. I stopped watching Heroes after the season 2 finale and I tried watching the season premiere for season 4 back in the fall but the magic was gone. The show was still a dreary slow ride to nowhere. Hiro was still acting like a smacked ass and the heroes weren’t actually doing anything, uh heroic. In the end, the show wasn’t canceled because of me, it was canceled because it sucked and you guys joined me and stopped watching it. The final episode that aired brought in a pathetic 4.4 million viewers. Heroes averaged 14.5 million viewers during its stellar first season. My advice would be to buy the first season on DVD and enjoy the series again. That was the first and only truly good season.
My only question to NBC is this………what took you so long ? Save your sanity, end the show !

It’s terrible news. I’ve commented before that after its first season, the show wasn’t as good, but it was still entertaining nonetheless. And that’s why I stuck by it the whole time. I loved the show. It’s too bad there won’t be a final season to wrap up everything. I hate those NBC wang yankers for that.

Heroes is finished because it’s stolen IP and we applaud those NYC artists that filed the copyright infringement lawsuit against this hack tim kring and NBC 4 years ago.The lawsuit MALLERY V NBCU DOCKET# 09-999 will go before
The U.S SUPREME COURT on MAY 21, 2010.This lawsuit caused Isaac Mendez to be written off the show and many of the show’s story line to change which caused the show’s story lines to become lame and confusing, causing the show to fail.Don’t believe it, then where is Heroes today?CANCELLED.To many of us that work in the tv and film industry it is our prayer that the moron called tim kring will get exactly what’s coming to him.He’s a pathetic loser and what he stole he could not keep and the show still failed.THE TRUTH ABOUT WHY HEROES REALLY FAILED WILL SURFACE IN THE MEDIA VERY SHORTLY.What a massive financial loss to NBC.The concept of Heroes with an artist that could paint the future was created by two NYC artists called The Twins.The Male twin Eele is a real living Luba Divination Artist that can paint the future.His tribe THE LUBA art work is part of the permanent collection of the Met Museum NYC and Mr. Eele’s Luba Divination Art is part of the archives of The NY Historical Society listed under “CityLore” curated by Ms. Sally Herships.Eele and his twin Amnau created a fictional character called ( Idai Markus the black artist that could paint the future on large canvas and his canvas showed that terrorists was going to destroy two NYC landmark buildings and with this canvas Idai and several regular people with extraordinary powers was going to use the art to stop this tragedy) this story is based on Mr. Eele’s real life experience as an artist with this rare artistic ability.In 2005 Hunter College NYC invited Mr. Eele and his twin Amnau to teach the students about this rare artform and about their pioneering character Idai Markus.NBC heard about this show on the Associated Press and sent NBC representatives which included Bryan fuller to the show.On September 26, 2006 Idai Markus the black artist that could paint the future became Isaac Mendez the latino artist that could paint the future on canvas and Isaac’s canvas depicted that terrorists was going to destroy two NYC landmark buildings and that several ordinary people with extraordinary powers was going to use the art along with Isaac to stop this tragedy.The only changes tim kring made between the characters was race and he gave Issac Mendez a drug problem.Isaac could only paint the future when he shot up drugs. how racist is that?How do I know all of this?I am a writer and I’ve been working on this story for 4 years and most of this information can be found in the lawsuit.anyway…. the lawsuit entered the court system and NBCU admitted to “accessing and copying” The Twins copyrighted IP to create Heroes.Here is where i stop telling this fascinating story because you’ll have to wait for my book.But I’ll leave you all with this….The truth about how NBCU and tim kring tried to steal these nyc artists original copyrighted work to create Heroes is going to stun the world and it will teach hollywood an important lesson about buying and investing into stolen copyrighted intellectual property by hacks like tim kring. owe to yourself to view the lawsuit MALLERY V NBCU, this lawsuit will answer all of your questions of what really happened to Heroes.To read how Tim Kring claimed “He lied, cheated etc… to get Heroes on the air log on to;http://blog.the-eg.com/2007/12/04/tim-kringWOULD YOU MAKE THE STATEMENTS THAT TIM KRING MADE IN THIS INTERVIEW IF YOU WERE IN THE MIDDLE OF A COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT LAWSUIT?TIM KRING IS 57 YEARS OLD WITH A WIFE AND TWO KIDS ( AGES 7 AND 9).
