I thought it went downhill long ago.

http://livefeed.hollywoodreporter.com/2010/05/nbc-cancels-heroes.html

"It's official. NBC has cancelled "Heroes."

The network seriously mulled bringing back "Heroes" for a shortened final season to wrap up the serialized show, possibly as a two- or four-hour movie.

In the end, given the fairly high cost of the drama, the show's consistently declining ratings and the number of new hour-longs coming to NBC next season, the network decided the UMS-produced series wasn't worth an additional episode order.

Among the network's new shows, there's several entries aimed at genre fans --superhero drama "The Cape,""24"-****conspiracy thriller "The Event"and J.J. Abrams'light-hearted spy drama "Undercovers."Also, of course,"Chuck" is coming back.More to come..."

NNOOOOOO!!!


And season 4 was going so well too! Full of non-plotholes and 100% consistency, not to mention great acting!

Good thing they cancelled Heroes. That show has been bad for so long. It has lived on so much borrowed time that I'm willing to bet it even forced some under-performing but great shows to die (like LIFE...Bring it back please!!!!)

I had a feeling this would happen, this last season was by far my least favorite. Maybe a cable network will pick it up so they can finish any ideas that had for closure.

Oh my god seriously?....I love Heroes. Even if it sucked really bad the last few seasons--I still rather have it on the air. I'm going to miss it.

It was absolute trash after season 1, which was awesome. Kinda irritating that we'll never tie up those loose ends, but I'd rather have that than suffer through another terribad season.

Sounds weak in my opinion :? Spy shows usually bore me. Even Chuck started to bore me. It's not that it's a bad show, it's just that I have so much stuff to do and Chuck doesn't justify taking my time. It's not bad and it's not good...it just is. It's nothing memorable. It's like elevator music, its in the background and you don't mind it, but you wouldn't buy the album :P

I can understand why it's being cancelled. I watched all the reasons, but eh. I would have liked for it to come back for a couple show wrap-up, but there's not really that much to wrap up.

As long as Chuck is still on, I'm happy.

I guess it's a good thing. This entire season felt so contrived. It became unbearable after 1st half of season 3.

I've never watched Heroes so I don't really care about the show but it bothers me how all these broadcasting companies can cancel their shows so easily. I understand that they are trying to run a business and make a profit but do they have any respect to the shows that have brought them in so much money in the past. Just let them finish the show off with a feature length like they were thinking. Finales always have high ratings so it's hardly like they will lose tons of money because of it.

Good.

The first season was incredible. One of my favorite shows, right up there with Firefly and Star Trek. Everything after that has just been insulting to it.

Prison Break, Heroes and Lost are three shows that all had amazing first series (and a good second in Losts case) but then dragged on too long and just became ridiculous, confusing and boring.

I'm not surprised.. it was clear the show had no real direction and was lacking.. season one was great.. after that it became fairly mediocre.

Major bummer. This was really one of my favorite shows. It's too bad the first Season was so good, people expected that bar to stay that high at all times.

The polar bears say, "Hi"

actually I don't watch that show but it boggles my mind that people don't learn their lesson with that guy. The stuff he does is gold only in the beginningbefore he has to start explaining stuff.
