With all the hub bub over "Lost", the finale of "Heroes" kinda got...well, lost. Outside of "Friday Night Lights" and "Smith" (I cry for you, Smith), "Heroes" was the best new show on TV this year.
The show was just plain well done and fun to watch. They did a good job of planning out the season and being smart. It was also nice to see what they did with the dorkiest, most enjoyable, most unlikely TV star we've probably ever seen, Hiro. Aside from the Ali Larter storyline, it was literally all good. And then came the finale.
It kinda...ate it. Why? Well, for one thing, exactly what you thought would happen, happened. It was bizarre, there were literally no surprises.
And that's all it took to kill Sylar? What the fuck? The guy had almost every power, except I guess, the power to evade a small asian dude. I don't understand how it could be that easy, especially after building him up all season.
Not to mention the whole Linderman storyline! This guy was pulling the strings on everything, and then in the episode before the finale, he is quickly done away with by the black guy no one cared about.
Everything was just too easy in the end.
When you watch the "Lost" finale and then the "Heroes" finale, you realize that these two shows are on completely different levels. "Lost" is Chris Rock, "Heroes" is Eddie Griffin. I shouldn't say that, "Heroes" is occasionally funny.
Anyway, it was very disappointing.
SUMMER TV
It's sad now that the regular TV season is over. But there are some things to look forward to. For example:
"Entourage"
Now I heard this and I don't know if it's true, but evidently two weeks after the "Entourage" finale, the next season premieres. I don't get this, but fuck it, I'll take it.
"Rescue Me"
I don't think I need to go on and on about this show anymore. Just watch it, motherfuckers.
"Hidden Palms"
Okay, this should be on a "what not to watch" list but I had to mention it. I am outraged by this show. It is the perfect example of everything that is wrong with Hollywood. Why? Because it is a teen soap that stars the murderer of all that was right with teen soaps. Yes, I'm talking about Oliver. Oliver from "The OC".
Can you imagine this? Someone actually went into a meeting and said "hey, remember the kid who destroyed "The OC"? The kid that every single person in the world hates? Well, this show stars that kid". "Hidden Palms" makes me want to punch someone in the face, preferably Oliver.
"John From Cincinnati"
I have no idea what this show is about, and the commercials make me not want to watch it. But I am legally obligated to watch any show that pairs Dylan Mckay with Al Bundy.
"The World Series of Pop Culture"
The show that makes me wonder why I'm not a millionaire, or at least, a thousandaire.
And finally, I'm most looking forward to:
"Age of Love"
A blatant and complete rip off of "The Bachelor", you gotta love it. But the twist makes it even better: the bachelor - in this case tennis "star" Mark Phillipoussis - has to choose between a bunch of girls, half of whom are 20 and under, the other half of whom are 40 and over. Genius.

I am a big Heroes fan and I do have to say the last show left me saying what the..... BUT I don't think Sylar is dead. If you remember they show the sewer manhole cover open and a streak of blood leading up to it, sooo.....I think that was the cliffhanger for next season. Plus if Peter can regenerate, did he really die when he exploded in the air??? And will Mama Petrelli take over where Linderman left off??
What was with Hiro ended up back in time??? That makes no sense.
i was going to say the same thing - sylar ain't dead people.
entourage season 3 ends this sunday and season 4 starts 2 weeks later on 6/17.
can't wait for rescue me, easily the most underrated show on TV, period.
another great show no one talks about is weeds. season 3 is starting in july i believe, it's on showtime. it's about a suburban housewive in an OC like setting who becomes a widow and turns to dealing pot in order to sustain their lifestyle. kevin nealon is awesome in that show.
Yeah, maybe Sylar's still alive, but that doesn't change the fact that it was really easy to "save the world". There should've been a bad ass fight, with him fucking people up. It didn't happen. Maybe he's alive to fight another day, but his fight that day, in the finale, was weak.
No shock that one of your favorite shows is "Weeds", dtrain. I've heard it's good, but i don't get showtime.
I am counting the days until Rescue Me comes back. Easily the best written show on television, and every single character on the show is so interesting. I don't think you are watching The Shield, but it is also so good. I just finished watching this week's episode and it was phenomenal.
The shield and rescue me are excellent shows, i just got so far behind in them pre-pvr that ill wait for xmas 2015 and buy both series on dvd and put winter to good use :)
Weeds... problem with that show is you could put a camera in 1 in 7 homes here in Vancouver and have the same show and save money on writing lol
evidently two weeks after the "Entourage" finale, the next season premieres
I don't get this either. Maybe it was Chris Albrecht's last decree before HBO finally kicked him out.

Looks like The Hills has been picked up for another season and is set to start this summer. But even better is that Heidi and Spencer are engaged. Check this out. How dumb can one girl be?? http://usmagazine.com/node/9275
