Variety reports that a big shakeup has taken place at Heroes. Word came came down today that co-exec producers/writers Jesse Alexander and Jeph Loeb were let go from the show.

I am – Hercules!! Jeph Loeb and Jesse Alexander, who (were one to judge from the season-two "Heroes" DVD) appeared to be Tim Kring's chief lieutenants in the "Heroes" writer's room, have left the show.

Hello there! I hope you all had a great weekend -- I've spent the last two days cleaning out my apartment and starting the packing process, which is not my favorite thing. When I ran out of steam, I went to see Zack and Miri Make a Porno (it was funnier than expected). I also watched several episodes of Friday Night Lights , and my love for Matt Saracen is beginning to surpass my love for Tim Riggins. But now it's time to get back to work: - There's been a shakeup at Heroes , and co-executive producers Jeph Loeb and Jesse Alexander have been fired ...

... direction Sylar (the once bad ass villain has taken), the many tacked-on characters and the bazillion ho-hum plot lines. Now who should they get to replace them, besides all the J.J. Abrams people who are busy writing Lost, Fringe and StarTrek 2? (Just guessing on that last one). Actually, I think Steven S. DeKnight (Buffy, Angel, Smallville) is available, having just left the staff of Joss Whedon's Dollhouse. [Variety]

NBC cans two Heroes producers
TV Squad —
Filed under: Industry, Heroes, Reality-FreeSo the big Heroes backlash now has two victims. NBC has fired two producers that have been with the show since day one, Jesse Alexander and Jeph Loeb. The show has been getting a lot of negative press lately (actually, ever since the strike-shortened second season), including this Entertainment Weekly cover story on what's wrong with the show and how to fix it. Sources say the two were let go because Universal is unhappy with the direction and cost of the show. Look, is Heroes as good as it was the first season? No, ...

Ain't It Cool News - The best in movie, TV, DVD, and comic book news. —
I am – Hercules!! ABC, slated to debut Mike Judge’s new animated sitcom “The Goode Family” at midseason, is reportedly in talks with Fox’s TV production arm to air new episodes of Judge’s old series, “King of The Hill.” The Fox network announced last week it was cancelling “Hill” following its current, 13th season.
