Heroes: “Are you on the list?”

Posted by Michael LaPenna

The ever growing list of viewers that is.  For those unfamiliar with the show which, at this point, may only be my grandparents (come on, Grams- you’ve got to watch!), “Heroes” is the new break out show that airs Monday evenings at nine on NBC.  It is the story of an ever expanding group of individuals who are genetically different from us normal folk- they all possess a superhuman trait. For one, it is super strength, another the ability to absorb the gifts of those around him, another can fly and one can walk through walls.  Many have compared it to “X-men” or other well known comics like “Superman” and how can you not, right? It is about super heroes- kind of.  It’s really more about normal people who one day realize they can do something extraordinary and how fate has seemingly conspired to bring them all together to save the world (well, New York City first) from a nuclear explosion.  These people, from all different walks of life- a high school cheerleader, a politician and his nurse brother, a painter, a stripper, a pencil pusher and an ex-con are at the heart of the show.  None of them seemingly has much in common, but through the gifts of the painter, who can paint the future, they are all brought together to become “heroes”.

So this blog will be dedicated to the show, bringing you the best of news about the actors, spoilers about the show (don’t worry, each post will be labeled as such for those who don’t want to know) and anything and everything for the “Heroes” fan. And for those (talkin’ to you here, Grandma) who haven’t seen it yet- you can watch all of the first season at http://www.nbc.com/ with limited commercial interruption.  Now go- watch on, and come back when you’re done to check out all the comings and goings!
