"Heroes" is getting good reviews.

Heroes, if done right, could be as big as LOST. If done wrong, it'll be as forgettable as Reunion was last year.

Anyone else see Smith ? The second episode is on tonight and I was curious what you all thought about it.

Didn't see "Smith." Did see "Heroes". Two minds about it--loved the Japanese guy, hated the stupid twerp who thought he could fly.

Looks like Fox is already starting to tinker with their schedule. Click here for more.

I'm not sure if I liked Heroes or not. I was very intrigued by the concept and they did enough to get me back next week. I hope Studio 60 becomes huge. I thought last night was even better.

Now as far as existing shows are concerned I hope this is the year the Office really breaks out. Yes I'm aware of the UK version, I'm renting that. But I just watched the second season of the US version. The show in addition to being terrifically funny also has some heart to it. Not just with the Jim and Pam storyline, but even with Steve Carrell. I really love this show.

I saw Heroes tonight, not bad.

It might be a little too "X-MENie" though.

Sir Alec Guinness of why he did Star Wars:
"I thought the dialogue was pretty terrible and the charactors fairly
meaningless-but there was story value. I found I wanted to know what happened next,
what was on the next page? In the end I thought:
why not?"

During a commercial break during the Houston Astros-Pittsburgh Pirates game I saw that Heroes was on, and I decided to watch a bit. But, it held my attention long enough for me to watch the entire duration, rather than just during commercial breaks. I thought it was really well done for a tv show to be honest...in terms of storyline, production values, etc. I'm not really into superhero things normally... I despise comic book movies and what not, but something about it caught my interest. Maybe it's cause I really enjoyed Unbreakable and it kind of reminds me of that. It's only one episode though, so we will see...

I'm going to watch "Heroes" for at least another week.

I admit to giving up on the second episode of "Studio 60"

I taped Studio 60 the other night but I havent watched it yet. Same with this week's episode of Smith. Ill probably catch up with both this weekend when I have more time.

Havent seen Brothers and Sisters, and personally I have zero interest in it. I dont see it lasting, either; everything Ive read about it said that the show is a trainwreck behind the scenes.

Oh, and here's an article on how some of the new shows fared during premiere week.

I haven't noticed any lack of quality...quite the reverse. I think the problem is a saturated market...

That may be true, but history says that most of these new shows will lose almost half of their audience the week after the pilot airs, and ratings will continue to drop for certain shows.. Either way its obviously too soon to say which show will be a true break out hit, although Studio 60 is looking like an early front runner.
