 NEW YORK (AP) - After "Heroes" unexpectedly turned into one of its few successes this year, NBC said Monday it was betting on new fall series about a bionic woman, a time-traveling newspaper reporter and a computer geek with spy secrets embedded in his brain.
The struggling network will also try to stretch "Heroes" by spinning off a related six-episode "Heroes: Origins" series that lets the audience choose a new cast member.
Fourth-place NBC was the first of the broadcast networks to unveil a new fall schedule to advertisers this week. After showing signs of life last fall, NBC recorded its least-watched week in prime time in at least 20 years last month — then went even lower the following week.
