NBC orders full season for Heroes
Hot on the heels of the lawsuit stemming from the use of a garbage disposal in the pilot episode of Heroes, and the result that saw the offending scene cut from the show, NBC has announced they have picked up the full season of Heroes.
NBC has ordered nine additional episodes of the supernatural saga, bringing its complement to 22. In its first two airings, “Heroes” has averaged 13.5 million viewers. It ties with ABC’s “Brothers and Sisters” as the No. 1 new series among adults 18-49, the demographic coveted by advertisers.
Lets see if the series can keep itself from controversy from the remaining episodes… or perhaps they will seek it out for the publicity it will bring. And I am interested to know if In-Sink-Erator, the garbage disposal company no one had heard of, has seen a surge of sales and interest since the lawsuit… it couldn’t have hurt sales.
