from the way they were goin it should've been done after season 3.

what they should've done is featured on a new set of people coming to terms with their powers etc instead of the whole company conspiracy theory crap that couldnt decide if fan favourite sylar was a good guy or a bad guy etc

Loved season 1 and then rapidly lost all interest. It was like reading the same book over and over again!!!!!

this is the annoying thing (or one annoying thing) about US TV programmes nowadays

they want to milk them for as long as possible, so the story never finishes, it drags on until eventually the show is cancelled, without or wrapping up conclusively

watched S1 of Heroes, then gave up after it didn't really end properly

yeah the lack of wrap up is really annoying.

some shows are lucky and they do - eg friends, st elsewhere

others like heroes get dragged on too much

that flashforward should've been like a 10 part series. start story end.

for that - i love stuff like band of heroes and the pacific

I put it down to the US producers always wanting so many episodes per series, the stories always get thinned out too much. If they have limited each series to 8 episodes instead of 18 the concentration of story would probably have worked.

Flash Forward has also been canned (rightly so).

I was really annoyed how Heroes turned out, it had so much promise but none of it came to fruition. I did watch all 4 series and series 5 could've been quite interesting judging by the preview we got but we'll never know now.

If only they'd concentrated more on the people's powers rather than the family problems in the Petrelli household then it would've been far better.

They drag this st out when it should've been binned after season 1 and then they cancel Jericho (actually a decent show) mid season 2 when it was all getting going!

They also cancelled Day-Break as well, I'm so fking pissed off with it all, what's the point in getting into something?!

It works with the Wire though.

Agree about all the other tosh, especially lost.

It's a bit like shagging your new bird. The first dozen times are cracking, then you get all involved and would rather just have a w@nk.

I watched most of series 1 and then when 2 came on I missed a couple of episodes and just couldn't get back into it, probably for the best that it goes.

Poignant metaphor!
