Why can't "Heroes" just be a bunch of stinkin' sandwiches

Possible Wise Saying of the Day: "Television: A medium. So called because it's neither rare or well done." Ernie Kovacs

I just watched show #7 of the first season of "Heroes" as research for a Super Secret Upcoming Project.

It sucks.

"Heroes," not the Super Secret Upcoming Project.

I'm fine that these "yobbos" have super powers. I'm especially glad that the cute little Japanese guy does, and the smexy little nurse man, and to my own surprise, the cheerleader. I wish I had the cheerleader's powers. No, actually I think all parents wish their kids had the Cheerleader's Powers. It would offer them better sleep at night.

So I'm OK with the premise. I like several of the characters. The writing is intriguing and the way they cut up the various "acts" for each show as well as the "Acts" of the actual story is very cool.

It's just not funny enough. I know what you're thinking, but I don't care. I think there should be just a tad more humor; a touch more joy or even happiness....or even a kiss of sunshine. Instead it's getting darker and sadder with less and less "sunshine or something, for heaven's sake.

I'm not asking for much: Out of a 40 minute show I think that 7 minutes at least should be uplifing, or sort of encouraged. But no. I feel angry to the point of violence.

My review of the series: As the little German in "Laugh In" once said, "Very interesting. But Stupid. Just in case you're wondering.

BTW: This underlining is cheezing me off but I can't figure out how to disable it.
