Hayden Panettiere Feels Like Kenny on South Park

Posted on January 18, 2007

Heroes creator Tim Kring revealed a few tidbits about the second half of the season of the show we just love. Watch with Kristin liveblogged the NBC dog and pony show for reporters:

Death seems to be the topic of the day here. A reporter just asked how the cast feels about the fact that people will die on this show. "I feel like Kenny in South Park!" Hayden cracked, referring to getting killed in almost every episode. Milo was more serious: "You have to pay attention to the work on the page and make it as good as possible because it could be your last." Gulp.

Sweet little Micah on his crazy parents: "I think he knows something's funky going on with his mom. And he's pretty scared of her now. But like any kid he wants his parents together." Adds Daddy Dearest (D.L.): "We're like Kramer vs. Kramer on crack." Kring: "The characters who have been disconnected from Sylar will be connected in coming episodes. We're really ratcheting it up and bringing those connections together in the next few episodes."

5:45 p.m.: Bonus! There will be 23 eps instead of usual 22. Kring is planning a "really fun, exciting cliffhanger" for the season finale. Of course.

Heroes will be up against Fox's hit show 24, but Tim Kring says that there is room for both shows. Do the two shows have an overlapping audience at all? Hard to say. And if you have Tivo, it doesn't matter a bit. Heroes returns on Monday, January 22nd at 9 p.m. Eastern/8:00 p.m. Central time. We can't wait!
