	concept from They thought they were like everyone else...until they woke with incredible abilities. In Japan, a lowly office worker can teleport at will. In New York, a struggling artist can paint the future. In Los Angeles, a discontented beat cop can hear the thoughts of others. Elsewhere, a high school cheerleader discovers she is unbreakable and a single mom realizes she has a powerful alter ego. Heroes chronicles the lives of these people and the lives of others like them -- whose destiny just might be saving humankind.   stars Greg Grunberg, Ali Larter, Adrian Pasdar, Milo Ventimiglia, Hayden Panettiere, Santiago Cabrera, Tawny Cypress producers Tim Kring, David Semel, Dennis Hammer studio NBC Universal Television

my take There's some promise here if they play it as they show in their clips: real, not campy. To sell normal people (seemingly) inexplicably developing extraordinary abilities and using them for good, will take tactful writing (and acting) and resist the urge to turn these heroes into capeless superheroes. If they do that, flush this. It's got an interesting hammock slot (Deal or No Deal and Studio 60...), one that generally goes to comedy over on CBS. They'll need to make a quick hit into order to stave off the expected audience flocking to Fox for 24 in January.
