Bryan Fuller Talks Heroes

Poor Bryan Fuller can't seem to keep one of his amazingly imaginative shows on the air. But he can, it seems, breathe new life into existing shows. EW's Michael Ausiello had a chance to sit down with Bryan Fuller to talk about his return to Heroes. The lone bright spot to come out of the demise of Pushing Daisies has been the news that Bryan Fuller would return to the NBC show as a consultant. Fuller wrote Season 1's best episode, "Company Man," and will return to season 3 with episode 19, about halfway through the "Fugitives" chapter that will launch in January. The show has struggled immensely since its freshman season, and many have cited the show's overly-sprawling and directionless storyline as a big factor in that. Fuller stresses that he wants to bring the show back to focus on the characters rather than all of the season 3 mumbo-jumbo about formulas and catalysts. NBC, which has been struggling recently, hopes to turn one of its biggest series around with Fuller's return, and so far, he seems to be saying all of the right things. The final episode of the "Villains" storyline will air this coming Monday at 9:00 PM.
