Random Musings: THE SIMPSONS, FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS, KRISTEN BELL

HEROES: A Disappointment of Super Proportions

After last night’s fifth chapter of HEROES, two things are clear. One, this TV Addict misses VERONICA MARS more than ever. And two, the writers of HEROES have absolutely no idea what they’re doing.
