French TV channel TF1 is raving about bringing Heroes on air sometime "soon" ... calling it "a hit/cult tv series". There's also a video/flash on their site. It was on the front page on the weekend, but since the presidential elections, it's on their shows page. http://lachaine.tf1.fr/lachaine/series/heroes/

that seems like a perfect lead in , there is already nearly a season of publicity to work off and i would think the show generated interest enough to give it a large opening audience when the show premieres
