So I keep seeing the previews for this show...now what I'm thinking...if Hero's got canceled...why in hell would they think this show is gonna do any better...it looks pretty much like the same premise...

Looks more horrible than that Bob's Burgers show debuting on Fox tonight.

I will fast forward to see the Summer Glau scenes though. She plays a slutty news reporter I think.

Whatchu smokin'? "Bob's Burgers" was hilarious. It's from the guy who did "Home Movies" and "Lucy Daughter of the Devil" on Adult Swim.

"The Cape" does look like fail in tights, though.

Yeah that H Jon Benjamin or whatever dude

I loved HM never saw that other one and kinda like Archer

That Benjamin dude is a voice actor, the guy behind Home Movies' greatness was actually Brendon Small. Admittedly Coach McGirk was greatness but the structure of the show was all Small. I did like Benjamin in his 1 season appearance on Michael and Michael Have Issues as well. Frogbox. Lol.

But this show looks retarded

I'll give it a few seconds for next week too but unless something blows my pants off I'm out.

Keith David as a bank robbing illusionist ring leader who disappeared in smoke twice between commercials at one point? Win. This shit was hilarious.

Jon Benjamin is hilarious, but I was talking about Loren Bouchard. He created HM with Brendon Small.

If you're expecting Emmy winning writing and acting, you're a dumbass. This show is a guilty pleasure. I thought it was entertaining. Besides, what else can NBC do? They have already driven the Law and Order franchise, The Office, and The Biggest Loser into the ground.

The Cape could always go back to being a doctor.

After 1 episode it's a guilty pleasure? :lol Premiere was horrible. And no not expecting Emmy winning writing and/or acting there are better alternatives that fit that criteria e.g. Spartacus.. Misfits (UK)

Anyway, I am more interested in seeing how soon the Summer Glau curse will go into effect?

:lol Firefly and The Unit were awesome shows. The only curse Summer Glau is suffering from is The Curse of Shitty Television Executive Directors.

Not hating on her at all, just stating facts. :lol
Firefly is one of my fav. shows.

What's up with the Summer Glau hate? She's been on a lot of shows that were on FOX. It's not her fault that FOX cancels everything. I never said The Cape was an Emmy award winning show. I thought it was entertaining. Sure, it's cheesy and some parts are stupid but it was better than Shameless and Episodes. Just sayin'.

You would have thought...that after Hero's...they would have figured out what to avoid and what to include to make a super hero type show good...guess not..

Besides Sunday Night Football, does NBC actually have anything? Right now, I think they only have two dramas(Law and Order SVU and Chuck) that came back from last season. And Parks and Recreation, The Office, and 30 Rock were the returning comedies. Ever since Friends ended, NBC has been a joke.

The only thing i watch on NBC is Community and Parks and Rec.

and Friday Night Lights ain't no joke. one of the best tv shows ever, so underrated. But yeah, for the most part NBC has been a joke, same can be said for most networks not on cable.
