Well, i personally do like PrisonBreak out of both heroes and prisonbreak. The idea of Heroes being a two our episode is good, but why not make PB one aswell. I dont see how it can be fast tracked. but i hope PB doesnt fail, its a good show to watch, and its interesting if you watched from the first episode they aired in Season 1.

Wait till you get to episode 6, it gets even better, although episode 5 is the best one since the last episode of season 2.

I have watched the first 3 episodes of Prison Break Season 4 last night from the US and i would have to say they are the best ever!

As good as the third season is so far, i doubt they could get 1.2-1.3 million for i. Fast-tracking it from the 24th-25th September would maybe get closer to that figure, but not starting from next week. I have read many forums where people are not willing to watch it on 7 due to prior mistreatment, as with prison break. I think they’ll be lucky with 1m.

with such week opposition in The Strip and L&O:CI, Heroes could do great numbers, if only there were some far better promotions for it!
Those Seven-created ad’s stink, and im not too sure why Seven didnt just grab the original NBC ad and use that (it was far more interesting)
Heroes can easily step up to the plate and deliever a good 1.2-1.3 Million for Seven and help it win the night

I doubt PB will be on at 9.30 – I’d look to Knight Rider getting that slot (though with it’s weak US premiere, I’d say it has more of a chance on a Friday/Sat than anything)

I agree Spunkymonkeycaesar, i hope that viewers who watch prison break and heroes don’t get screwed over by 7, but i also hope that 7 (9 and 10) has a reality check by less viewers for their shows so that they will get shows here faster (within the week), and stop running shows late. I guess you can’t have one with the other. Ali, prison break season 4 is def worth getting back into. The producers aren’t expecting it to get canceled mid season, but are expecting this to be the last season. They are writing a conclusion to the series for the mid season final in case it gets canceled mid season.

Glad these are returning. Hopefully people watch them so they don’t get shunted to crap timeslots.

Does anyone know, after the first week, whether Heroes will stay at 8.30, and Prison Break will be at 9.30, or will Heroes start at 9.30 and PB at 10.30?

At least they’re not call it “Seriously” Fast Tracked

When will ch7 start advertising Prison Break?

we can be heroes for just one day and then the next day
it would be shafted and made way for Knight Rider which honestly I prefer the original just like Bionic Woman.
Original is so much better

The producers are expecting Prison Break to get cancelled this season. With optimism like that, why bother watching??? The show lost me mid first season anyway.

Whilst I hope Prison Break rates well as it’s a great show, I hope for Seven’s sake it fails, because as far as I’m concerned airing a program almost 3 weeks after it’s premiere in the US is NOT ‘Fasttracking’!

I love how they are advertising that Heroes is being “Fast Tracked”! It aired earlier this week in the US and won’t be in Australia till at least fortnight later!

Oh well, at least they are trying!

If Seven have any sense they should load the AFL Grand Final coverage with promos for these two shows! They really need to build up the hype on these returns if they want them to succeed.

I agree RichoTB, the heroes premiere was fantastic.

whoo hoo, great that it’ll be back on a thursday, good telly night – but scrubs, such talent at one time, but why always the terrible timeslot for this and other great comedy’s (30 rock anyone?).
so i also take it that stargate is a long way off before coming back to our screens then?
