Quote: NBC can look forward to redeeming itself a bit in the ratings war come this fall, if online buzz about its fall season shows is anything to go by.
A new report released by PropheSEE, the online buzz monitoring arm of Interpublic's Consumer Experience Practice, shows that four of NBC's new shows rank among the top 5 in the amount of buzz being generated online, and the network dominated online buzz to the tune of 57 percent, writes Media Life. NBC's Heroes, alone - a drama about people who think they have special powers - ranked No. 1, pulling in 26 percent of all buzz. ABC, as a whole, garnered only 18 percent of total buzz.
You can be sure that this website will continue to feed the buzz machine up until the premiere and beyond! Source: MediaBuyerPlanner |

Little Big Chris
We Could Be Heroes
"It's a new show coming this fall to NBC and it looks amazing. I can't wait. Everytime the promo comes on TV I have to sotp everything I'm doing and watch, especially if it's the one with "Hide & Seek" playing against it."
Pop Media Cult
Fall TV
"There are four new shows that have me interested. Heroes on NBC is of most interest. Especially after seeing most of the actors at Comic Con. I'm really rooting for this one to succeed. In order to do that, I think it will have to become a little bit better then the pilot. There's a lot of hype for it, so I think a lot of people are going to check it out. "

Webisodes Disconnect for NBC, WGA
"The labor-management disconnect on new media continues, and this time it could get ugly: NBC Universal has filed a complaint with the National Labor Relations Board over a dispute involving Internet-based extensions to a handful of its TV shows."

Heroes Hype!
Exclusive: Heroes' Jeph Loeb!
"Loeb graciously put aside some time from his busy schedule to talk with Superhero Hype! about the origins of the show and the intricate way that each episode is assembled with Tim Kring's crack team of writers. If you've read any of Loeb's comic work, you can imagine what a sharp mind is behind his writing, but this interview makes it clear that he's as knowledgeable about writing for television as he is about comics."

Have you ever gotten really into a show only to have it cancelled after the first season or worst, mid season? Last season I was really into the show 'Invasion' which barely squeaked by with a full first season before getting canned by the network. I will admit that I was more than a little ticked at ABC for canceling the show and I wasn't alone.
NBC president Kevin Reilly assured viewers that the network is committed to keeping them happy and making the time they invest in HEROES worhtwhile. Reilly said, "We don't like pissing off the customers And, by the way, I get the e-mails, OK? I wake up in the morning and I get, 'Dear Moron.' We know that takes a toll, but the nature of television is when you're taking risks, you hope you take a risk. You may end up with Heist, or you may end up with Lost or My Name Is Earl. So I'd rather risk the upside. ... Any show that gets canceled has had people who are upset or people who are angry who have invested in it. That's just the nature of what we do." |

Quote:
Adrian Pasdar, one of the stars of NBC's upcoming superhero TV series Heroes, told SCI FI Wire that he and his co-stars envy their characters' super abilities. "Character development is paramount to the people involved in the making of the show, and flying? Who doesn't want to fly?" said Pasdar (House of Frankenstein), who plays a politician who learns to fly, in an interview at the recent Television Critics Association summer press tour in Pasadena, Calif.
Pasdar's co-star Ali Larter (Final Destination) said that her character is mystified by what's happening to her. She plays a stripper and single mother who discovers that she can be in two places at the same time. "I'm not sure I'd always want that, but what I think is so interesting, too, and why I was attracted to playing this, is because we're trying to understand what's happening to us," she said. "We're trying to get our kids to school, and we're trying to deal with all these things that are happening in our life."
Milo Ventimiglia (Cursed) said it's not completely clear what power he has. "When I first read the script, it suggests that Peter is an empath," Ventimiglia said. "He physically feels people's true emotions, true potential in life. ... So you start to wonder, 'Well, what happens when Peter comes into contact with other people? Is he going to empathically be able to help them or even ultimately take on their powers or think he has those powers?' .... In addition to that, there's the fear and exhilaration, too, of understanding you can fly or you're unbreakable or you're hearing voices. How do you deal with that? Are you afraid? Are you completely elated about it? ... I'd be pretty freaked."
Hayden Panettiere plays a cheerleader who can heal herself. "Of course I'd want that kind of power, but as out there as it sounds, I think it's realistic," she said. "My character also deals with a lot of just normal teenage angst. ... You know, trying to find their way, trying to find friends, trying to find the person that she wants to be. ... I think it's definitely how teenagers feel. ... If anyone knows anybody who has my power, please do let me know."
Creator Tim Kring said that the group of disparate heroes won't turn into a "Justice League," referring to the DC Comics superhero team. "They'll come together in small ways and in small pockets," he said. "And just like all shows when people come together, you'll have to find ways to break them apart, to keep the drama alive."
Greg Grunberg, who plays a cop who can read people's thoughts, asked Kring: "Are we going to get to wear tights?"

BURBANK - July 28, 2006 - NBC's marketing in the digital arena takes a new turn as the network expands its corporate partnerships with National CineMedia, Nissan and Apple's iTunes to cross-promote its new Fall drama "Heroes" by finding new ways to incorporate the products into scripts organically and offering consumers the chance to be the first to see the series.
