    I never understood the hype surrounding Heroes when it launched - it was OK, but not brilliant.

    I decided to give up on it a couple of episodes into the second series.

    By the sounds of it, good job I did which is surprising as, similar to Zeity, I watch this stuff till the end!

    BTW, I enjoyed Journeyman. On a similar note,anyone used to watch Reaper or Jericho? They should never have been cancelled!

      Agree. Enjoyed it to start with but gave up last season when you just didn't know who was on what side as it seemed to change every episode. It seemed to be over complicated for the sheer hell of it.

        Firefly was probably the best by far to not make it beyond the first series.

          So will we get an explanation. I didnt like the program after the first series, but I am looking forward to the explanation (As long as its not a Dallas 'it was all a dream' LOB)

            Lost? I've lost track of this thread.

            I still think it's the best thing on TV, but they did start explaining things too much last year. Better when you don't have a clue.

            Heroes I gave up on in the second series, then watched the start of the third series having heard how it had "improved". But it was even more boring, and so I gave up again. I can't believe they're still making it. Must be the same people that keep making Stargate year after year.

            What was Oddessy 5? Was that the virtual reality show with Tony Head?

              Oh Lord, I've been trying to persuade Mr P that Heroes has lost the plot (so have I) and it's a pie of piggy poo, but unfortunately he insists on watching it.

              It's been recorded, so I'll end up watching it.

              Good news however is that Being Human is back
              I'm sorry, but I'll make no apologies for this

                Now I've read that, I've just realised that it's a rip off of HHGTTG. Except it doesn't have Vogons.
                what. no Vogons


                ode to Diver

                See, see the moustache sky
                Marvel at its big purple depths.
                Tell me, diver do you
                Wonder why the moose ignores you?
                Why its foobly stare
                makes you feel certain.
                I can tell you, it is
                Worried by your runcibulous facial growth
                That looks like
                A sourkraut.
                What's more, it knows
                Your mamayev potting shed
                Smells of bad egg.
                Everything under the big moustache sky
                Asks why, why do you even bother?
                You only charm flowers.

                  Ah yes. Don't think I've ever seen Odessey 5.

                  Too many shows with 5 in the title. Blakes 7 was at least 2 better than Babylon 5, Oddessy 5, VR5, or The Famous Five, but clearly nowhere near as good as Joe 90.

                    I also nominate The Dresden Files and Moonlight.

                    Both very good IMO. Both cancelled after one season.
