The NBC television program Heroes, created by Tim Kring of Crossing Jordan fame, took America by storm with its realistic portrayal of what the world would be like if super heroes really did walk the earth.
The show went from just a show that promised a good story to cultural phenomenon after the pilot episode was aired on September 25, 2006. People were talking the very next day about the new show that they had seen and that it was different from what was already being considered for cancellation by NBC. People found themselves sympathizing with the complex characters that all seemed to be connected by more than merely powers and situations.
A hero had proved it as commercially viable, and was simultaneously critically acclaimed. The show had received praise for its constant use of well written plot twists, compelling character journeys, and an intelligently written world at risk plot.
The show was known for a unique writing team that played by no rules as far as story went and kept in contact with fans through a fansite and various websites where they would answer viewers questions (but only to an extent). With the show’s reputation secured, and with several award nominations, a second season was a sure thing.
And a sure thing it was. The second season picked up right where the last had left off, offering viewers new mysteries, new characters, and new stars alongside the first season veterans. The new season was just as talked about as the first, and things were going very smoothly for the new season. That is, until November 5th, 2007.
That was the day that the Writer’s Guild of America went on official strike after weeks of speculation. The strike, initiated by writers demanding royalties from DVD sales and internet profits, threatened the future of many television programs, and the National Broadcasting Company was, perhaps, hit the hardest. The Strike caused almost immediate shut-down of the new show Bionic Woman and had even put a stop to long time NBC staple Saturday Night Live.
And unfortunately, super powers were incapable of stopping the strike from affecting Heroes. The strike lasted long enough to cause the ratings powerhouse to cut its season short by a half season’s worth of episodes, leading the studio to re-shoot the ending of the episode Powerless.
However, this does not spell the end of Heroes. The creator and cast has promised a brand new season as soon as the strike is over, and many are speculating that the hiatus will help make the shows next season a vast improvement.
In the world of television programming options, cable and satellite TV services are the primary contenders. Despite the varied programming, affordability, and the unparalleled volume of HD broadcasts offered by satellite TV, millions of consumers continue to select cable television services based upon the convenience it offers by bundling television programming and internet access into a single bill. In the hectic day to day of the average person’s life, the ability to consolidate services is a welcomed step in the direction of simplifying some of the more mundane tasks such as tracking and paying bills.
However, developments in the world of satellite TV providers such as Dish Network in the past year have begun to erase the distinction between the bundled services of cable providers and satellite TV.
In 2006, Dish Network rolled out a program that paired the satellite TV provider with the high speed internet services of Wild Blue. This new program allowed Dish customers the option of receiving a single bill for both their satellite TV programming and their high speed internet access.
Obtaining internet access for current Dish customers is as simple as having a dish antenna and satellite modem installed. Installation is free but a one time fee is charged for the equipment lease which also covers any future equipment upgrades. This new service through the satellite TV provider should prove to be particularly attractive to users in rural areas who currently have fewer options in obtaining high speed access and more often rely on slower dial up services.
The WildBlue powered internet services offers SPAM and virus filtering, 24/7 technical support, and at least 5 e-mail addresses with a minimum of 10MB storage. In addition, spyware and anti-virus protection is offered at no charge for the first 18 months of service.
With the recent WildBlue and Dish Network pairing, consumers now have more options while getting the convenience they need. As satellite TV providers continue to increase accessibility, expand programming, and now begin to bundle services, their ability to compete and even outperform the older and more traditional cable providers continues to grow.
