‘Heroes’ is Having Major Problems

"Heroes," produced by Universal Media Studios, has struggled in the ratings its third season. It’s understood that Alexander and Loeb were let go because of the frustration by NBC’s executives with the creative direction of the show.

It is also said that "Heroes" has been grappling with hefty budget overruns this season, that are going well beyond its already sizable $4 million per-episode pricetag.

So the question is how much longer do you think "Heroes" will last?

‘Battlestar Galactica’ Final Season Begins January 16

“Galactica” will of course pick up from June’s dramatic cliffhanger that has kept us scratching our heads, due to the fact that the Colonial fleet and the Cylon allies finally discover Earth, only to find it a desolate nuclear wasteland.

 

The final 10 episodes will end with the ultimate finale on March 20, 2009.

Those wanting just a bit more “Battlestar” can also look forward to the previously announced “Battlestar Galactica” two-hour special next year starring Michael Trucco, Aaron Douglas and Dean Stockwell reprising their roles as Sam T. Anders, Chief Galen Tyrol and Cavil. And don’t forget that there is also a spin-off in the works called “Caprica”.

Fringe Gets a Full Season

"We’re having a blast working on this show with this great team of producers and amazing cast," said FOX head Kevin Reilly. "The series has really taken off creatively, and it’s exciting to see that the audience is responding. We believe this is the first full season of many years to come."

It should be noted that JJ Abrams movies have been based on TV properties and one (Cloverfield) didn’t do so good at Theaters. The other (Star Trek) we are still waiting to see how it turns out.
