We could be Zeros.

Bowie ref aside, this parody by NBC of the show Heros is pretty funny–on its own. It misses a connection to the show though. Heros isn’t about ordinary people doing odd but still humanly possible things, it’s about them doing extraordinary and seemingly impossible things. It also undermines the concept by saying “not to be confused with the real Heros” at the end. Ok, so then why include clips from the actual show and start off with a cheerleader then? Might as well put one of those annoying ‘ADVERTISEMENT’ warnings across the top. And Heros freaks, save the emails. Yeah, I watched an episode, the first one actually. It was ok. I got the gag. It’s just not for me.

I’d rather be a Zero. Just for one day.
