    • Sunday there was a shake up announced with the behind the scenes action at Heroes. Variety is reporting that two of the show’s writers were fired by NBC. The two fired are Jesse Alexander and Jeph Loeb. The two have been with the series since the series began, and they were the ones responsible for the running of the series. They worked directly under Heroes creator, Tim Kring.

      Season three has only continued a fall for the series that started out with a strong first season. Everyone watched season one, and it became a hit. Season two was hit by the writer’s strike. This cut the season early, and the series had no real direction in season two. This made the series hard to watch for many that fell in love with the series in its first season. The creators and writers promised that season three would be different.

      However, fans are seeing more of the same. The series has been slipping in the ratings.Could firing the two men responsible help save this series? That is one question that comes to mind. Will new writers coming in save things? Or could  this be the beginning of the end? There is really no way to know what will happen to this series next.

      I’ll admit even tuning out after the premiere of season three, and I had planned to give the show a fair shake with the new show. Something about Claire’s head being ripped off, but her being a-okay just didn’t set well with me. What do you think of Heroes? Will some behind the scenes changes make a difference?

    • New Additions to Heroes

    • News from Entertainment Weekly this week is that we have two new additions to the cast of Heroes for season three. One of the additions may be familiar to fans of Buffy The Vampire Slayer as Seth Green is set to join the cast. He is dragging along his buddy from Robot Chicken, Breckin Meyer. Both are set to appear in a multi-episode story arc that puts them as comic book geeks set to interact with one of the heroes.

      No character names yet, and no idea just when in the season they will appear. Right now, NBC is still in full Olympic mode as Beijing 2008 captures the attention of the world. Both Green and Meyer are ideal casting for the role of comic book geeks though. Both are funny men, and I am sure they will do well in these new roles on the series. However, there is one small concern that I do have.

      As we know, Heroes’ season two was cut short due to the writer’s strike. The season added more new faces, and I know that I personally ended up lost and this caused me to lose interest in the series. Those behind Heroes know they dropped the ball season two, and they plan to improve things with this upcoming season. People tuned in season one, but they saw a very different show season two. This made them switch off. Will they be able to get those viewers back this season? Only time will tell!

    • It is summertime, and many are waiting for the return of their favorite series this fall. Well, you might have a little something to tide you over if you are a fan of The Office or Heroes. Starting at points in the week ahead, there will be new webisodes streaming online from both series. The Officehit the site first with webisodes premiering on July 10 at 3pm ET. The next in line is Heroes with webisodes hitting the website on July 14th at 3pm ET.

      The Officewebisodes will take you along with the characters as they try to find out just what the heck is happening to Kevin’s money. He needs help and fast in order to pay off some gambling debts. This is the second series of webisodes for the series. The first went live two years ago, and The Office was the first to use these as a medium.

      As for Heroes, the webisodes planned for that series will take us through a crazy trip as we get a deeper look at some with powers and watch how they deal with it. Heroes is set to return to NBC in September, and word was leaked this week that Ali Larter would indeed be a part of the series this season, even with her character being a part of an explosion last season. Word has it though Ali Larter is returning not as either of her former identities, but as a new doppleganger. This new persona will have an entirely new power! Sounds exciting. I can’t wait.

    • As Another Strike Stares Us Down

    • katherine_heigl_120307_0001.jpgWe have two weeks before another strike can take our favorites movies and television series out of production once again, and things are starting to get scary. If things aren’t settled by June 30, we could see productions halted, and once again we could have blank television screens full of repeats. Many movie productions are trying to get things settled in the next week or two. If a strike does happen though, not every production will be ready for it.

      As far as television goes, the Kiefer Sutherland series, 24, looks to be ready if a strike does happen. They have production mostly wrapped up on both the season and the movie prequel set to air this fall. Other series have at least several episodes of their next seasons already in the can and ready to go. These include such hits as Heroes and Grey’s Anatomy. However, a new season might be delayed. The ABC series has been under fire this week because of the comments made by one of the series’ stars.

      Katherine Heigl plays Izzie Stevens on Grey’s Anatomy, and earlier this week she pulled herself out of contention for this year’s Emmy race. She won an Emmy last year for her role, but this year she doesn’t feel that there was enough there for her to receive a nomination. This has caused quite a stir among fans and non-fans of the show. Some see her words as ungrateful and biting the hand that has fed her so much success.

      One writer has spoken out about her comments, and some are saying that Heigl’s time on the show is short. We all know they have no problems removing someone from the cast if an issue arises. Look at what happened with Isaiah Washington at the end of season two. Time will only tell if Heigl remains a part of the Grey’s Anatomy family.

    • Heroes Stars Make It Official

    • milo-hayden.jpgFor months now, rumors have been flying that Milo Ventimiglia and Hayden Panettiere have been dating. The press follows these two everywhere and the talk has been that they are. Neither side confirmed anything until the past week. Apparently, these two have been an item for some time now, and they made that no secret at a cast holiday party.

      Hayden herself just turned eighteen this past summer, while her co-star is thirty. The age gap doesn’t seem to effect the two of them at all. Apparently, her family adores Milo, and he even went back to New York over the holidays to visit with her entire family. Is this a perfect match? That is too soon to tell. The two appear to have started dating in September, but both denied it until recently. They were just close friends to all that asked.

      As for Heroes, the last episode of the year aired on December 3rd, and this seems to be the second season finale. This is due to the strike. Production was shut down early on the show, and the show’s creator almost left the series over strike issues. We’ll have to wait and see if Heroes makes its return in Fall 2008. As a series, it has had its strong moments, but there have been episodes that left me completely cold. In my opinion, some of the series best moments happened in its first season. The second season changed things too much and added too many new faces to an already large cast.
