I like both shows but Heroes doesn’t seem very conservative to me. I mean, the whole mutants wrongly being hauled around in orange terrorist jumpsuits? And the crazy government soldier guys?
Chuck has a character (Casey, the tough NSA guy played by Adam Baldwin, formerly of Firefly) that has a picture of Ronald Reagan that’s featured prominently in several episodes. In the latest episode, his boss (a woman who is not necessarily a good guy) picks it up, tells him that the 80s are over, and he just sort of sneers at her suggestion. As for putting Heroes up against 24 (and for putting Chuck up against The Big Bang Theory), are television programmers trying to kill off their networks by placing shows that appeal to the same demographic up against each other? When they do that, they split the audience and often kill one or both shows in the process. Stupid.
Mondays are a crowded evening ... House, 24, Heroes, Big Bang Theory. We end up DVRing and watching throughout the week.

If you watched this weeks episode of “Heroes”, in a parking garage, while in hiding, the character “Tracy” asked a question to the character “Rebel” that involved behaving just like Che Guevara. I thought that was a strange question to ask.
Never seen Heroes......but a dual-tuner TiVo takes care of the problem of viewing both.
24 isn't very conservative this season either. We've got a bleeding heart President who wants to invade a country that's of no strategic importance to the USA and where our interests are not in danger, to stop a genocide...even as American civilians are killed in the hundreds.
What’s the witchhunt plot about? Is it like X-men (the comics and the movies) where mutants are supposed to be a poor put upon minority where some of them have gathered together as a Brotherhood of Evil Mutants (their own name not mine) hellbent on global domination and where even the HEROES(!) engage in identity theft (masquerading as famous people, including politicos they disagree with) and invasion of privacy (telepathicly reading minds, turning invisible to spy on people, etc.).
Yeah, those poor mutants don’t mean nobody any harm.
And don’t forget that the real bad guys in 24 this season is a Halliburton clone company called Starkwood.
The most conservative show on TV IMHO is American Idol. How is it that FRiends here don’t agree with me most of the time. I mean they have to work hard. Americans vote. Families watch. What is wrong with FREEPERS that they can’t see this?
I gave up on Heroes when it turned south because of the writer’s strike a few years ago. Should I go back to it? And are the past episodes available for streaming anywhere?
Running out of shows to watch again.
