HEROES
( NBC )
No capes, no masks, no problem. The live-action comic book about ordinary folks discovering extraordinary powers transcended geek appeal with a crisp, focused plot and a dose of humor. Special honors go to Masi Oka, who, as time-traveling cubicle jockey Hiro, stood in for every kid (and grownup) who has ever wished he could close his eyes, squint really hard and save the world. Early episodes suffered from trite dialogue and sketchily drawn characters, but as the show has delved into its character's backstories, it's gotten deeper without getting too confusing. Maybe the writing staff could get some dialogue lessons from the crew of Lost, in exchange for a lesson in how to wrap up a damn story without dragging it out for three years.
