Heroes ...taking slight departure here

While I haven't seen anything but a four minute preview, this show looks AWESOME! And, as all awesome shows seemed to get cancelled before their time, I'd like to make sure this one gets a decent shot at staying around. So, I'm taking this opportunity to talk about the show, make sure you watch the clip on NBC and then watch this show so that it doesn't go the way of all the good shows listed below.

Heroes begins around a solar eclipse that changes people all over the world. Seemingly ordinary people suddenly begin to discover that they can do something extraordinary. A young man in Japan discovers he can stop time at will (and possibly teleport himself); a cheerleader discovers she is "unbreakable", a Vegas stripper learns her mirror image has a secret; a young man becomes to believe he can fly and a painter discovers he is painting scenes of the future. There are others as well...but I don't want to spoil it all here. It completely sounds like it could be hokey and cheesy, but watch the preview at NBC and see for yourself.
