Fuller to Return to ‘Heroes’
Thursday, November 6th, 2008
When Heroes wrter/producers Jeph Loeb and Jesse Alexander, it was clear that showrunner Tim Kring was ready to make some changes. Fans everywhere seem to all agree that a return to the series’ first season level of quality is desperately needed. But for the first time, it almost looks possible.
Bryan Fuller is responsible for two of the best episodes of Season One, most notably “Company Man”, and may be exactly what Heroes needs to get back on track. Fuller has a nack for creating cult favorites, having done so with the Showtime series Dead Like Me (though he left due to disagreements with the show’s drection), Wonderfalls (one of Fox’s many series to be sent off to die far to early), and most recently ABC’s Pushing Daisies.
Now, while this could only mean good things for Heroes, it may spell certain doom for current series Pushing Daisies which has been struggling in the ratings department ever since returning this season post-writers strike. Is Fuller taking a position with Heroes because he knows that Daisies is nearing cancelation? Or is he hoping to balance his efforts as showrunner and writer/producer? I don’t have the answer, but I’m sure we’ll figure it out soon enough.

Y The Last Man Vol. 5In this final Deluxe Edition hardcover collecting Y #49-60, Yorick and Agent 355 prepare for their ultimate quest to reunite the last man with his lost love, while the person, people or thing behind the disaster that wiped out half of humanity is revealed. Then, Yorick Brown's long journey through an Earth populated only by women comes to its dramatic, unexpected conclusion.
I can’t be the only one thinking it……we need a Pushing Daisies Heroes crossover!!! Starring Claire, the “Pie Who Couldn’t Die”! ;)
I hope this bodes well for Heroes, and I hope it doesn’t mean Daises is dead.
May be the best move Heroes will make to save it’s own future.
This could make a huge difference for heroes!
Are we willing to sacrifice Pushing Daisies for Heroes?
@TNN
The short answer is… yes!
I would sacrifice any show on television for Heroes to get better. Any show, even if I like it better than Heroes at the time. Heroes at it’s best is at the top of my list of shows I want to watch, without question.
…except maybe Lost. That has to finish on top of it’s game.
@ “…except maybe Lost. That has to finish on top of it’s game.”"
cause I was about to say.
I love pushing daisies. The more over the top it gets the more I love it. unfortunately it is a show that would have been more fitted for a movie not TV. I have a feeling its going anyway, so its good that Fuller is at least staying on TV.
