Something worth watching on TV

Late this past week I was reading online about the show called Heroes. I'd seen advertisements for it a few months ago (or maybe in more recent weeks), but never really paid attention to the name of the show. Here's the advertisement if you're interested in watching it. Note that it's a little shocking at the beginning, but it's part of the girl's powers she's testing...you'll understand if you watch.

If you didn't watch the trailer above...There's a girl that is invincible (always heals herself regardless of the injury), another can be in two places at once. There are two brothers who can fly, two friends who are on a journey that is their destiny (one of which can control time and teleport himself). They also feature a policeman who can hear people's thoughts and an artist who paints scenes from the future and illustrates a comic book of the future featuring the two people who are on a journey... to follow their destiny.

I just got caught up on the last three episodes of the show and I'm anxious to see this week's episode. It's been a long time since there's been anything on TV that I've wanted to watch... not Grey's Anatomy, definitely not Desperate Housewives and I can't really waste my time wondering what in the world Lost is about. This show, however, seems to be just what I've been waiting for.

A word of warning, though, it doesn't seem to be a show for kids. There's a little bit of gore in it (they show the girl's injuries that she heals from) and there are other general unpleasantries. Very little profanity, if any, and no nudity... the normal stuff since it's network TV. Anyways, it comes on Monday nights on NBC. I can't wait to see next week's episode...
