Did The Internet Save Heroes?

Call it internet satire ; for a show that attracts so much snark , unfavorable judgment and hatred on the web , was NBC ’s Heroes save from cancellation because of its online popularity ? peradventure . You ’re all to blame .

The foreign possible action was bring in to light by the San Francisco Chronicle ’s Tim Goodman , who follow show creatorTim Kringtalk at the recent TV of Tomorrow show in the Bay Area :

Kring said that his untested son has a fascination with the Guinness Book of World Records , so Kring bought him the latest edition and they were riff through it . In the subdivision on television , he saw a word-painting from his series and learned “ Heroes ” was the most downloaded show ever . “ Nobody had told me that , ” he said … Kring seemed to designate that on the button at the time “ Heroes ” descend along , NBC and its various properties were very , very eager to beef up on-line content and thus were more than willing to throw money at [ non - boob tube ] “ Heroes ” related digital constituent . It gain you wonder if “ Heroes ” is being celebrate ( with a panel at TVOT and a re - up at NBC ) not because mass are actually watching it on a medium that prints money for hits , but because it does well in area that might , some day ( soon ? ) , be as remunerative ?

In any case , if NBC kept Heroes from being cancel due to its potential future money - making possibility , then Knight Rider lover should begin downloading that show as much as humanly possible right now , just in type .

“ Heroes ” creator Tim Kring talks up the interactive element . Which is probably why it got renewed for Season 4.[The Bastard Machine ]
