Heroes

POSTED BY Max Powers | WEDNESDAY AUGUST 13 AT 10:32 PDT 

I think that if I had super powers, I probably would not use them for the greater good. I’d have the ability to cure hang over’s and make it less humid outside. I would be able to do my taxes and fix my delinquent car registration just by thinking about it. My gas bill would pay itself. They would not make a TV show about me.

NBC’s Heroes follows the lives of individuals with superhuman abilities who use their powers to help humanity.  And seriously, don’t call it X-Men.

Network: NBC

Airs: Mondays, 9/8c

Hot Chicks To Watch For: Tawny Cypress, Hayden Panettiere, Ari Larter


 

EXCLUSIVE! \'Heroes\' Will Most Likely Get a 5th Season

EXCLUSIVE! 'Heroes' Will Most Likely Get a 5th Season

 Whole lot of shaking going on at NBC and more specifically Heroes. This past week we saw the killing off of Adrian Pasdar's character, heard the news that Sendhil Ramamurthy has been cast in a new pilot for the network, and the network itself merged with Comcast. Everyone is taking the departure of Ramamurthy and Pasdar as a sign that the show is canceled. ScreenJunkies reached out to an inside source at Heroes who confirmed these rumors as false.Our source tells us that Ramamurthy got a pilot and asked the writers to write him out. They obliged.  Everyone loves Sendhil Ramamurthy and his character, but the truth is he didn't have a lot of screen time this season, and the writers felt they shouldn't stand in the way of the actor's future. Look for Mohinder Suresh to make his exeunt in an episode airing in late January.Our source further tells us that given that Heroes (and it's DVD sales) is huge all over the world, it's doubtful it will be canceled anytime soon. From a business standpoint, another season would bring the number of shows up to 100 which would position Heroes as a bona fide asset for future ancillary ventures. In fact, as The Hollywood Reporter pointed out, Comcast CEO Brian Roberts gave a verbal shout-out to Heroes on his phone call to investors after the merger went through yesterday. It's always a good thing to impress the new boss. That's why I wear tight t-shirts around the office. How you gonna hate on a guy who looks like Rambo pretty much with his shirt off? More...

Ali Larter wore the whip cream bikini seen 'round the world.  We all remember, and it's the only time we ever wished we were James Van Der Beek.  Okay, maybe also in Dawson's Creek a few times when him and Katie Holmes got cozy, but that's it.  Ali's starred in Heroes as Nicky since the show's beginning, but as of yet has not donned a whip cream bikini in any of the episodes.  Hey Heroes producers, Sweeps is coming up soon.  Wink wink.  WINK!      A word from Ali: "I hate pretty-looking boys. I'd rather have a guy with a potbelly than one who's in the gym all the time and watches what he eats."Hmmmm, somehow I doubt this.  Ali recently got married and I'm almost positive the lucky guy doesn't resemble Artie Lange.  No one wants that, Ali.  No one.Evidence that someone's been going to the gym after the jump!

With the return of Heroes on Monday, I have heard a bunch of people talking about which power from the show they would want for themselves. But there are a few abilities that never get any love, mainly because they would be useless in the real world. These are the seven powers I wouldn't bother putting on tights for. 7.
