"In case you missed it, NBC announced this weekend that it's digging up the corpse of Heroes for what "an event miniseries" called Heroes: Reborn. The 13 television episodes will air next year, along with a complementary digital series that will introduce the new characters and storylines. In a statement released late on Friday, NBC Entertainment president Jennifer Salke said that "shows with that kind of resonance don't come around often, and we thought it was time for another installment." Tim Kring, who created the show in 2006, is going to be in charge of the revival, which will center around new characters—although Salke admitted "we won't rule out the possibility of some of the show's original cast members popping back in." For some, this news was a sign of creative bankruptcy equivalent hiring Jay Leno to take over The Tonight Show for a third go-round. "By the time season four ended, audiences had grown tired of Tim Kring's ‘LOST with super-powers,'" wrote Forbes' Merrill Barr, while Twitter collectively launched the hashtag #NBCReboots to find some more potential revivals for the peacock network (Amongst the suggestions: "Just Shoot Me Again" and "The B Team")…"

I would watch it. Even though the series really went downhill in seasons 3 and 4, 'Heroes' was still better than most of the dreck on television, especially the dry CBS procedurals like CSI and NCIS mostly watched by people over 40. CBS managed to screw up even 'Intelligence' by using the same procedural formula, which I will not watch again. |

I tried watching the first series recently and never made it through the first episode. I don't know why it didn't appeal to me. I like super hero stuff generally. |

Ah, just when you think TV can't get any worse, they bring back even more, tired, formulaic stuff……. |

The makers of Heroes were only interested in the discovery of the powers bit, they lost interest after that and the story went downhill very quickly. That and "Sylar the omnipotent" |

I liked season 1. Couldn't get more than a couple episodes into season 2, though. |

Season 1 was great! Season 2 was still good. Season 3 got so confusing/annoying I haven't finished it yet. |

My wife and I loved Season 1. Season 2 was decent, but we gave up after that. And I agree that Sylar the Omnipotent was a huge mistake, just like every crappy TV storyline involving the unbeatable serial killer. Gaaaahhhhhhhhhhhh, how I hate that trope! |

The kitsch of Heroes (and Lost and other shows of that ilk) just won't hold up in an era full of stuff like House of Cards, True Detective and Game of Thrones. |
has a painting service do Space Marines.
