NBC had already announced that The Jay Leno Show would premiere a week before the official start of the 2009-10 TV season. The network will take its time rolling out the rest of the fall schedule, though.
Leno’s prime-time show will premiere Monday, Sept. 14 and run every weeknight at 10 ET. Two other nights of [...]

ABC has put another piece of its fall schedule in place, booking the season premiere of Private Practice for Thursday, Oct. 1.
The medical drama was one of a few shows ABC left hanging last week when it announced the bulk of its premiere dates for fall. Still waiting to hear about their debuts are Brothers [...]

Fire up your Diet Coke-and-Mentos cannons: The MythBusters are returning to Comic-Con. Joss Whedon and Dollhouse will be there too.
Discovery confirmed Friday that MythBusters Jamie Hyneman and Adam Savage will make their second consecutive San Diego Comic-Con appearance. Savage and Hyneman will be the stars of a panel at 7:15 p.m. PT Saturday, July 25, [...]

So we already know that Rachel Melvin will be joining the cast of Heroes next season as Claire’s (Hayden Panettiere) college roommate. We also know that the show is describing their relationship as one where they will “share sleeping quarters (and maybe more).”
Call us naive, but we took this to mean that Clarie’s roommate probably [...]

The word from EW.com says the Scottish-born Ray Park will have a multi-episode arc on the NBC series next season. He’s the latest in a flurry of casting for the show, along with Deanne Bray (Sue Thomas, F.B.Eye). They join fellow newcomers Robert Knepper and Madeleine Zima.
Details on Park’s character are being kept quiet for [...]

Robert Knepper is finding the bad guy business to be pretty good.
The Prison Break star, who played imprisoned white supremecist leader Theodore “T-Bag” Bagwell, will play the new villain in the fourth season of Heroes, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

Knepper’s character Samuel is described as a charismatic but ultimately evil Jim Jones type.
Heroes will begin [...]

Californication co-star Madeleine Zima will power up for a role on Heroes next season.
Zima, who plays Mia, the thorn in Hank Moody’s (David Duchovny) horny side on the Showtime series, will have a recurring part on Heroes as Claire’s (Hayden Panettiere) roommate, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
The storyline for season four has Claire heading off [...]

Like most people, I was pretty critical of the second season of Heroes. And I’ve also been outspoken about the lack of significant and long-term character development. As such, I think it’s fair to say that I’m not just some blind Heroes fan that will compliment the show no matter how silly or [...]

So this was a very Sylar-heavy episode. And while this has the potential to be a good thing, the problem with Sylar is that he’s been so inconsistent and uneven that I find it difficult – perhaps even impossible – to become emotionally invested in his plights and inner turmoil. I can’t even [...]

This was another character-heavy episode of Heroes, and in my opinion, that’s a very good thing. Leading up to the finale, I’m not necessarily sure that we have to have some sort of catastrophic and explosive event occur. Sure, that is in part what made season one so successful, but at this point [...]

“Matt’s changed. He’s committed himself to a very destructive course.” – Mohinder Suresh
Pot. Kettle. Black.
And hey, you gotta love Mohinder for taking the liberty of placing a tack at the location of each identified person who has exhibited abilities. Stupidest. Scientist. Ever.
This episode was all about the mind games, [...]

Heroes is at its best when it’s focused and character driven, and with that in mind, I think this episode delivered pretty damn well. I especially appreciated the common theme, with Nathan trying to rekindle his bond with his daughter, while his brother Peter attempts to mend his relationship with his mother. In [...]

What was with all the shaving references in the first five minutes of the episode? We had an elongated scene in which the Hunter shaves, and then we had HRG with nicks on his face from shaving gone awry. I’m sure there was some sort of symbolism there, but I think they were [...]

As I reported on my blog, Heroes has been renewed for a fourth season! Despite this news, I’m sure we’ll have an onslaught of people droning on and on about how the show is on the verge of cancellation. I’ll say what I always say: What other relatively successful shows does NBC [...]

I know a lot of people find Claire annoying, but I gotta say that I found her absolutely hilarious and adorable during that entire opening sequence. From her doubt over whether the government can see her inside of her own house to her attempting to lie to her mom in her “golly gee” manner [...]

“I’m not perfect. Just better than you.”
Awesome line. Although I don’t agree with it.
I’m sure there are many cynical and negative viewers out there that will merely consider this episode as a “Company Man” remix. And you know what? I think that’s great. And to tell you the truth, if [...]

What a tumble this show has taken. In fact, I actually rank amongst those viewers that never really felt Heroes ever really had anything that great going for it, and it still ranks among one of the most unspeakable declines in the quality of a television show I’ve ever seen. Just for the sake of [...]

Gotta love those awkward Bennet family breakfasts.
I have criticized the fact that we’ve seen Claire vs. HRG in a battle of trust every single volume thus far, but I must say they’ve made a concerted effort to develop and change up their dynamic, and it really shows. The writers are having some fun with [...]

Well, I will say this for Heroes: I typically watch 24 and Heroes right after one another, starting at about 11:15, making my Monday nights pretty late (especially when you consider that I have to type up a review afterwards). Well it’s been a really long and tiring day, and the weekend wasn’t [...]

Before I get into this episode of Heroes, let me go on a bit of a rant about the many, many people who evidently can’t think for themselves. You don’t know how many people I’ve talked to who completely gave up on this show, yet if you ask them why they don’t watch anymore, [...]
