SYNOPSIS

Mohinder Suresh (Sendhil Ramamurthy), a genetics professor from Chennai, picks up his late father's research and makes an astonishing discovery -- a seemingly random group of people around the world are developing astonishing super powers. From a drug-addicted artist (Santiago Cabrera), who paints the future and an ambitious politician (Adrian Pasdar) who can fly, to a New York cop who hears other people's thoughts (Greg Grunberg) and a Japanese computer programmer (Masi Oka) who can distort the space time continuum, these new Heroes seem to have a shared destiny. Creator Tim Kring ("Crossing Jordan") fashions a complex new world full of hidden clues, breathtaking plot twists and suspense-filled conundrums for an exhilaratingly fresh story about average people who are confronting the existence of inexplicable super powers. Also starring Milo Ventimiglia, Hayden Panettiere, Ali Larter, Noah Gray-Cabey, Leonard Roberts, Tawny Cypress and Jack Colman, "Heroes: Season 1" is packed with special bonuses that take viewers deeper into this rich and riveting series. Relive the excitement or discover it for the first time with "Heroes: Season 1" on DVD and HD DVD.

This thread needs more !!!!!!!!!!

Coolness. Gonna get.
I'm interested in the unaired pilot though, sounds like there was a lot more than what actually panned out.

I will most definitely pick this one up!

I just hope we get an Australian release around the same time with the same extras!

The Set would have been perfect if it had a Graphic Novel edition of the Web Comics to go along with it!

ok i just need a uk release now!

Sweet! I've been waiting for this. I rarely get to watch TV anymore, but I am totally hooked. Thanks BD

ya no prob. my wife(who rarely watches tv and doesnt like comics) and i love the show. we didnt watch i untill several episodes in because of school and work we kept missing it. we have missed the last 4 eps(including the season final) but were gonna watch them online soon when we get the time to..... im just happy that its comeing out on dvd so soon. normaly what companys that have tv shows on dvd do is wait until the new season is comeing out on tv to release the new dvd box set to get hype about it going again.

*edit*
just had a thought. wizard world chicago 07 is the begining of aug...it would so rock if someone was selling it early at the con. that kinda thing happends from time to time at cons....i cant only hope and wish....

Honestly I watched one episode of it and I thought it was OK
but didn't think it was as great as a lot people said it was but then Crossing Jordan didn't impress me much either.

....u gotta watch more then 1 episode lol... it thought the same thing after 1 ep but i watched more thats when i started to like it. now that the season is over im sure reruns will start again before the dvd comes out watch them. and it is a show u need to watch in order otherwise things will get confusing.

Call me old fashioned but I think the constant serialization
of any TV show (with every episode being essentional a cliffhanger) tends to irritate me more than anything, I like
TV shows that every episode has a beginning, middle, and an
end for that half hour or one hour now I do like sub-plots
that run throughout a season and set up the season finale,
but I like them to be just that SUB-PLOTS. I perfer shows like Firefly, CSI, Star Trek: Voyager because their stories are self contained you don't have to watch the other episodes or in the correct order to know who's who and what is going on.
