Heroes Plummets to Lowest Ratings... Ever
It's a good thing Heroes has already been renewed for a fourth season.
Let's just hope it's not too late for NBC to reverse that decision.
Last night's new episode, "Shades of Gray," was the lowest rated hour in the history of the show. Only 6.6 million viewers turned in to see Sylar finally come face-to-face with his father.
What do you think should be done in order to boost ratings? The series needs all the suggestions it can get!
Like Sylar in this scene from last night's episode, we can only hope Heroes will soon bounce back, full of vegeance!

Sylar: I can't bring Nathan back Peter, but I can sure as Hell swing a sledgehammer.

Honestly, Heroes sucks. This show was Amazing in seasons 1 & 2 but now it is just CRAP... Let me tell you I was a huge fan of Heroes but now honestly I think it should be cancel,it's just too silly now.

Ando should supercharge Hiro to an Alternate Earth. Where every one has a dramatically different role in the world. For Example: Sylar and Claire hooking up and having a kid (we've seen it slightly hinted), Peter Petrelli leading Villians in a war against Heroes (led by Nathan Petrelli.)
Start explaining a little more. What the heck happened to Caitlin, that girl Peter left in the future? Who was that kid that Sylar had when he blew up Costa Verde in the future? and why was he specifically in Costa Verde? (see first paragraph) Why didn't those silly agents and H.R.G. think to use Molly, an obvious tracking system, when hunting the heroes? Too many questions that would be great to have answered, go unanswered, apparently forever. And for my own personal benefit I would like to know how Sylar flew away in Season 1 when he met Peter for the first time. Where'd he get that power from. Keep in mind he had only killed a handful of people at that point in time.

Give Peter back his TRUE ability to acquire and utilize numerous abilities at once. this will lead to what everyone wants to see, a Sylar vs Peter battle (or better yet multiple battles between the two most powerful). This show is not about ordinary people, loose that story line, focus on Peter and regaining his absorption ability back to its full capasity!

funny I did a search for Heroes ratings because I felt the show is in a decline. A couple things I notice. The story line between the government and the heroes is way too drawn out. Besides the heroes just run instead of fight. I want to see the heroes stand up for themselves for crying out loud. Also Peter and Hero need their powers back now! We need some closure an epic battle between the bald guy who looks like he is dying and Peter who has, and needs his powers back. Need more Hero season 1 back with powers and fighting and adventure. I am getting bored of the same crap week after week.

I agree with everyone..PETER AND HIRO's POWERS SHOULD BE BACK.
and wait..the character that excite me during season 1 was ali larter's..wait..what happened? she's not fuckin' active in the show..she just show most of her skins and thats it..
what happened? I know that nikki sanders is dead but..why dont you bring jessica back? Tracey with jessica would really be great..super strength and freezing point?..awesome..
i didn't really get why they killed elle..elle was a very interesting character..especially when she got along with claire..
another thing is..why don't they put on another character..another villain..?this time,its sylars loveteam...
the 2 of them will hunt the heroes down..together with those stupid soldiers..(elle would have been good for this char)
other than that..heroes is doing fine..
it might have low ratings in US..but its the # 1 show in other countries,,,
this show should go a long way..

Heroes is doing pretty good. In spite of what everyone thinks, ratings and all, the show itself is rock solid. When you have a world where people are running around with synthetic or genetic powers (ordinary people), this is exactly how things should be happening. This is not X-Men, Fantastic Four, or anything else. These are regular everyday people are just now understanding that there is a world full of power out there that can be "created" or "passed down". That's pretty serious given the pressures that follow them. Whether it be the government or secret agencies bent on keeping these "Heroes" or "Villains" down, it's amazing to see how people who don't appear to have super powers really do. That's the best thing about this show. As long as it remains "realistic" to the point that everyone running around with a power doesn't have the mind of a Marvel or DC Comics superhero, then that's what makes the show believable. Just think about how you would live your life if you disc

Get Sylar in there more! He's one of the best!
Save Daphne already and bring Matt in more!
We need some people finally facing the government don't leave it all up to Rebel. They're Heroes right? Not wimps that follow the creepy stalker guy that has all their phone numbers and such. Peter's powers sucked, he''s better now. but he should still face Sylar because couldn't he just borrow Sylar's power? If this show ends I'm gonna go on strike! Seriously. You just need alot more Sylar, Hiro and Matt

!.) Sylar should have a sister that goes to see if her dad is ok and inherits her dad's powers (more girls) 2.) Save mohinder! He was cool 4.) What the heck happened to Molly? did i miss something? 5.) Hiro needs his powers back NOW! What kind of maniac enjoys watching him fly around the world and save people without freezing time? 6.) We can't really say what we want to happen until Rebel is revealed (somepeople are saying it's West. UG!) 7.) Hurry up Monday! I wanna know what happens!

I can't really see how Heroes can get its fanbase back. Generally, when you lose people, you lose them for good because no matter how fantastic you make the new episodes, they’re not going to come back to see them. At best they’ll rent the DvDs, at worst they’ll d/l torrents or just plain won’t bother.
It is my opinion that heroes always had been about Sylar vs Peter. The bad superhero, the good superhero, then you got the weaker heroes. What is killing the ratings ? Writers trying to make weaker heroes more interesting while dumbing down main protagonists.
Season2 Peter forgetting his powers and Sylar’s chanty virus neutralizing them was one thing. Having Arthur steal Peter’s powers without neutering Sylar destroyed the show’s balance. And too many things made no sense at all, like Peter having intuitive aptitude for like 2 episodes then having it stolen. Why did Mohinder tell him he absolutely HAD to get it ? Only so we could see future Sylar explode?
