    • Imagery relating to Heroes: Origins cancelled!

      The Futon Critic is reporting that NBC has just cut two shows from it’s November schedule. The first show being “The Singing Bee”, replacing it with an extension to “The Biggest Loser”, making the show run for 2 hours every Tuesday.

      More irritatingly, the planned Heroes spin-off, “Origins”, has also been axed due to financial concerns. There were originally 6 shows planned, featuring individual stories surrounding new characters coming into the show. Actors expected to appear in the spin-off included Kevin Smith, Eli Roth, Michael Dougherty and John August.

      The original intention for “Origins” was to keep people interested and discussing the show during it’s off-air season, however, it’s likely that the upcoming Writers Guild of America strike is the main cause of the cut. With Heroes involving such complicated plots, which are very hard for people to get back into after missing a few episodes, I felt that “Origins” was something of a necessity. I’ll be interested to see what effect the cut has on the popularity of the show, and especially audience interaction with the “Heroes 360 Experience“.

      […] So it seems that the threats of a looming strike have now come to pass, with the WGA calling a strike until a new contract is made. I am deeply worried about what this means in regards to my favourite shows, but we will have to see how this effects things. Hopefully, the strike won’t go on for very long, but it has already cost me one of the shows I was most excited about: Heroes: Origins. […]
