No. Why? Stop. Who asked for this?

Details remain sketchy, but sources confirm that MSN is interested in relaunching the once red-hot NBC Universal franchise with new stories and heroes, while mixing in cameos from the original series’ cast (schedules and interest permitting). The talks are said to be in the preliminary stages.

First Gwyneth, then Ryan and now Kate. Is there some actor-slash-hero underground outfit forming in Hollywood? 

There’s a movie pitch in that question.

He just starred on an NBC drama series with comic book mythology. Now Heroes star Milo Ventimiglia is back at the network as the star/executive producer of Rest, a new drama project based on a comic book series he co-created. Ventimiglia will executive produce the project, which has received a script commitment with film/TV/Broadway producers Craig Zadan and Neil Meron (Footloose, Drop Dead Diva). 

 It centers on John Barret (Ventimiglia), a normal twentysomething guy in New York City who spends every waking hour working. He enrolls in a testing program for a drug that eliminates the need of sleep and soon becomes addicted to it, which helps him accomplish more but also leads to serious consequences.

Perfect, considering he already has experience working at a paper company.

The buzz around the Dunder Mifflin watercooler is that Heroes vet Jack Coleman is nearing a deal to guest-star in an upcoming episode ofThe Office. 

The Dynasty alum would play a government official who possesses a “Jon Hamm-esque wholesomeness,” per a source. No other details were available.

Truth be told I’ll probably watch this. And probably be disappointed.

I’m hearing that NBC might give Heroes a short order of 6 to just finish up the storyline of the series next fall. Or else it’s a goner. (My sources are betting on the latter.) In any case, there’s zero chance of a 22-episode pickup.

Someone must have given Heroes some healing power.

NBC has become more confident in its slate of new shows, all indications are that our Heroes are dead.

And thus ends a four year run of possibly television’s greatest one season show. At last.

Today in terrible decisions made by NBC…

I tried so hard to give Heroes a chance. Much longer than many other first season fans in fact. But finally I gave up, there is truly no reason for this to be. At least we’ll always have season one. On DVD.
