This summer, NBC will surely do as it usually does and use the Olympics to run seemingly non-stop promos. But when the Beijing games end Aug. 24, the net apparently
will segue right into its new season (of course, NBC's said that idea no longer applies since it's now programming 52 weeks a year). An executive who works with NBC said that
"Heroes" will return Sept. 8Â -- well before the usual mid-September fall season launch. That will be the first new episode in some eight months.
