Heroes finally reaches the UK
Heroes finally makes its UK TV debut this Monday on the Sci Fi Channel.
For anyone who hasn’t heard about it, its a TV show about a group of ordinary people who discover they have special powers. It is now onto season 2 in the USA where it has been a massive hit, comparable to 24 and Lost.
Don’t expect any Superman type comic hero action, its more about how the ordinary people deal with their powers and the (conspiracy) theory as to why these people have these abilities.
See for yourself from 10pm when the Sci Fi channel kick off season 1 with a double bill tomorrow, Monday 18th February.

[...] Got all excited as we finally get Heroes. [...]
Welcome to my blog. My name is Kieron Donoghue and I run UK Offer Media Ltd. I thought it would be fun to post a daily (well hopefully daily) blog, writing about my experiences in Internet Marketing and more specifically Affiliate Marketing. I'll include some personal stuff too, probably about my other passions, music and cars. Please feel free to post your comments and thoughts too.
Not to be pedantic, but it’s still on Season 1 in the US. New TV shows out there tend to do about 13 episodes and if the show is a hit in the first few then they put in a full commission and then finish off the first season.
That is one of the reasons that we often see a big gap (like we did with Heroes) between episodes.
Personally, I enjoy Heroes more than Lost and have been banging on about it for a while now - good that the UK is finally getting a chance to see it.
For anyone that doesn’t have the Sci-Fi channel it will be starting on BBC2 in the not to distant future (don’t think i’ve seen a Sci-Fi show as good as Heroes on BBC2 since the X-Files).
Jericho is also meant to be good (and has just restarted with Ep11 after a long gap) and i’m currently downloading a few to give it a go.

My mistake, when I was in Vegas they were trailing the “return” of Heroes quite heavily on TV. I assumed this to mean season 2.
Anyway, looking forward to it tonight! Only wish it was shown in HD
i think you would like the 4400
thats really good
check it out if you havnt heard of it
Heroes is great…one of my favorites alongside Prison Break and 24. I tried watchin the 4400 but never quite liked it; that’s the problem with trying to stay in tune with several series at once. As for the late arrivals of these series’ to other countries, I simply can’t wait for them and download them as soon as they hit the net.
yepn - been waiting for Heroes to land here, saw a few episodes last year, and being a typical female, desperately need to know what the cheerleader has to do with it.
Just waiting on delivery of the latest Touchscreen HP desktop which has a fabulous screen and a tv tuner (think that’s the technical bit:)) so will be sat in my office with my feet up watching that, instead of working.
Watched it because of your blog post.. who said blogs don’t have influence
… anyways I enjoyed it but I must be too simple minded because at the end of eps 2 I was like… ah how, what, where… aaahhhhh show me more LOL
Looking forward to next weeks show.
there upto season 1 episode 16
in the states
as thats what is available on that naughty mininova bittorrent site that ive heard of
oh well i will just have to wait for them to come on the scifi channel in the uk
Heroes is pure class. Comic books brought to the TV in a very classy way. I use the “evil” Bitorrent network to watch most of my TV now I don’t have Sky. Another recommendation would definitely be “Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip”. It’s another classic from Aaron Sorkin (West Wing). Snappy dialogue that treats the viewer like an intelligent human being, good acting (Matthew perry & Bradley Whitford are the leads) from a strong ensemble cast…watch it…coming to C4 soon I believe.
Yeah Jay I can’t wait for Studio 60, have read a lot about it. Lets hope we get to see it in the UK soon.
