I am looking to find out how many DEFINITE episodes there are for this season, I have not been able to locate a definite count. Imbd lists different characters for different amounts of episodes, which i understand why this is, but i have yet to find an absolute answer. Any help in pointing me the right way for black and white proof would be appreciated.

i think it was slated for 22. but nbc wants them to make 2-3 additional episodes for this season. sooo...22 for sure.

Thanks Scootch, was that 22 for this season alone? Or 22 flat out with possible renewals and where did you get this?

The more the better, as far as I am concerned. In my opinion this is one of the best new shows to come along in a long time.

Agreed to more the better, just would like a definite location for definite information.

i read it in an article (think link is posted here somewhere...but does have spoilers.). not sure if this is a soiler but...

the new episodes will stop airing at the beginning of december, then continue in January. (i guess for the nfl playoffs). im so glad i have a dvr now...because Heroes will be on at the same time as jack bauer...

I always thought 22 episodes was the standard season length, not including the pilot episode(s). But you never know with network executives, the only proven method that I have seen to keep shows on the air/get renewed that I know of is the "letter writing campaign". E-mail & "contact us" buttons on websites have made this even easier, but a good old-fashioned hard-copy letter is still the best. It's a physical manifestation of how the viewer/consumer feels. So, everybody, write a letter expressing your support for Heroes & do so ANY time the ratings appear to flag.

I have not checked the official website, but I my brother told me this past weekend he had heard on TV that they had been picked up for a full season. I would agree though if you heard 22 shows, I would think that would be a full season.
