One of the more interesting new TV shows here is called Heroes. It's about a group of people who discover they have various enhanced abilities - we don't know why (altho' a murdered scientist thought there was a genetic reason). So far, the group are in different locations and don't know each other - not sure if they'll get together or not. They're not X-Men (and women) or anything. So far, so good. I'm particularly enjoying the tale of the Japanese office guy, Hiro (Hero - get it....?!)

I think it's doing well in the ratings, so there's a decent chance it may make it to the UK.

I'm loving this show. It's regularly bookmarked on demonoid

It is doing really well Stateside, so well in fact that after only 1 episode being shown, the network decided to double the length of the first season, from 13 to 26 episodes, that's usually a good sign.

It has already been bought by the European Sci Fi channel, though there is no definite date for broadcast...Yet

It was even more subtle than that, since he was only called Hiro for the first half of the book and was suddenly referred to as Mr. Protagonist in the second half. I didn't click until most of the way through.

Im sure it wont be long till it arives here in the UK , we got Invasion pritty quick and not forgetting we got to see Battlestar Galactica 1st season 1st , looking forward to this one hope it survives as Eureka looks like it has done for a 2nd season

[inbhirnis]

I didn't catch that "Eureka" had been renewed for a second season. I found it a little too light, myself (but the Sheriff made for nice eye candy.... )

[Paladin]

LOL I have to say I agree with that , I also remember him fron Tales of the City where he played mary anne singletons BF in the second book , I can remember him now being sick at the site of roses .

On what ive read Eureka is comeing back , im glad love it sat here now watching the last 2 , its abit like Ghost Whisper realy also a little light but its nice to watch things that make u feel good , in this crap world we live in

Just found this interesting tidbit from E! Entertainment website - looks like there will be a transatlantic visitor to the Heroes cast:

"I heard Christopher Eccleston is joining Heroes. Do you know anything about his character?
Actually, yes! Last week, Masi told us that the onetime Dr. Who is going be a mentor type for Peter. He actually even called him "Peter's Yoda!" I'm assuming Christopher has powers of his own, and, as I mentioned before, I'm fairly certain he is a new Hero and his power is invisibility. Sources tell me the invisible man is the new Hero."

--any sign of this show appearing in the UK? It's not a bad little show.

Looks like it starts on 19th Feb on Sci-Fi - Will have to look out for it.
