Futon Critic does "Heroes" at Comic-Con

It doesn't sound like he's got a buyer yet. I'm still mourning the loss of
Mutant 'X,' which I would have watched a lot more if they hadn't buried it
in the wasteland of weekend tv. Everything was right about that show, and
the time for live action super-heroes has clearly arrived. I hope a
network buys "Heroes."

Anim8rFSK...

Ian Ball LOVED Mutant X. It was the David Caruso of syndicated
television.

jason.cinema...

Um, it's on NBC this fall - Mondays at 9 Eastern. Per everything the
writers and producers have said, this is going to be more "Unbreakable"
than "X-Men".

Rob Jensen...

Nope, it's more X-Men minus the spandex or The 4400 plus three times
the rehearsal time than it is Unbreakable. For one, Heroes, unlike
Unbreakable, has a sense of pacing and again, unlike Unbreakable,
Heroes doesn't take itself too seriously.

wdstarr...

No spandex? Then why watch?

Rob Jensen...

Ali Larter.

[Jimmy Kimmel] Oh, and Hayden Panatierre must be legal by now. [/Jimmy
Kimmel]

Anim8rFSK...

Nope. Well, maybe in Singapore.

Oh, and the plot twist involving two characters is too good to even
*hint* at by naming the characters.

Agent Smith...

What the fig is "The 4400"? All of a sudden, I'm seeing a lot of
erferences to it.
