Heroes Creators Say Sorry, Will Try Harder

"Save the cheerleader, save the world." That was the mysterious mantra of the once great Heroes TV show.

But sadly after the first season it all started to go a little wrong. The ratings have been falling heavily during season two and three. The writer's strike left the show in limbo for a while and apparently once those writers got back to work, they had lost some of their original spark.

But NBC have announced that season four will not continue in the vein of disappointment. They have apologized on behalf of the writers for the muddled and weird storylines of the past couple of seasons. They have promised that next season things will be different. The metaphorical shark will be un-jumped. The magic of season one will be recaptured.

Let's hope they are right, because I'd say this next season is sink or swim. If the ratings slump continues we'll never see a season five. And frankly, unless NBC can deliver on their promises for season four, I can't say I'll miss the show.
