Heroes, while it was cancelled last year for low ratings on the network, ironically was the number one downloaded show in the world that year above shows like Lost and 24 and that kind of thing.  For a show like Heroes that had all of these illegal downloading, pirating, I wore that as a badge of honour.  That's exactly the kind of fan that you want!  The kind that actively goes out and find your show.
