It has been reported that "Heroes" will be getting an extra month off before returning for the second half of its third season.Matt Brady at Newsarama reports that the series will return in February while NBC runs a dance program and some other new reality show produced by Ryan Seacrest.
All snark aside, "Heroes" has its problems and is in need of a retool. Many of you have moved on and some of you have told me you just don't care enough to watch right now. Maybe it is the writing, the time it airs or the novelty that has worn thin. Who knows? What matters is whether the wheels will ever be put back on the bus.
What hasn't fallen off to me? I have written here that I like the special effects and the production value works. Beyond that? I watched some of the animated graphic novels and live-action shorts at the official Web site and they aren't bad. In fact, I believe they are a lesson in building a larger web-based world that interested viewers can explore.
I expect to focus a little more on that during the "Heroes" down time in January as the network and producers try to get the TV version back to the basics.
