Heroes?

April 24, 2007 | Filed Under Main |

So I’m addicted. My son and I follow “Heroes” religiously. It is the BEST show on TV. A good ensemble of actors, a twisty-turny story line and superpowers. That’s a recipe for hard-core fandom - especially from an old comicbook geek like me.

SO - our show has been on hiatus for over a month. They left us hanging - HANGING! - between life and death and the cheerleader. Finally, last night, The Return. Chris comes home ten minutes before the start after his lacrosse game. I’m already waiting, bracing myself for the excitement to come. On the edge of my couch (sort of) before “Deal Or No Deal” comes to another pathetic end (how much are those spokesmodels being paid? Where do they come from? Are they cloned?)

So there we are: fed, watered and poised for the return of “Heroes” and finally… static. Not total static. But the cable was breaking up. The picture. The sound. As if everyone had tourettes or something. Okay, we were on HD. Let’s try regular TV. No better. Channels 5 and 7 (in the New York area) are doing the same thing. Cracking. Breaking. Spitting. Fine. We’ll live with it. But it was HORRIBLE! After all this anticipation, we didn’t hear one complete line or see one scene that didn’t look like some unscrambled porn channel. It was misery. Dejected - we went to bed right after the show.

Someone owes me…
