There is always exceptions to everything. I agree that Stargate and Buffy stayed fresh for quite a few seasons longer than a lot of other shows but i always think that is because they never got completely mainstream. They didnt "sell out" i guess. I could see heroes easily doing so. I mean super heroes are so popular right now with Spiderman, Batman, X-men, Fantastic 4, Ghost Rider, Iron Man, Superman, Justice League, Hellboy and so on. People are on a superhero frenzy and im pretty sure that is probably a lot of the Heroes fanbase. All i know is that so far im really enjoying it (even the that episode which a lot of people seem to really dislike). I dont understand why people are really upset about the Peter-Sylar battle. Nothing in the whole series lead us to beleive that there was going to be a big CG fest ultimate battle between them. The show focuses much more on character developement that their actual powers. Anyway i was very satisfied with the first season and eagerly awaiting the next one.
