Did You Watch "Heroes" Last Night?

You weren't alone. The show did very well, improving on its lead-in and growing in its second half hour (always a good sign). It could be the first breakout hit of the fall. I found it a bit ponderous, but I'll tune in next week. At least it's different. Unlike so many of the other serialized shows, I'm actually looking forward to week two rather than feeling trapped. And "The Class" -- whose pilot I thought was awful, only to see everyone else praise it -- dropped hard in its second week. Maybe I was right after all.
