I am - Hercules!!


It looks like "Pushing Daisies" mastermind Bryan Fuller is about to sign a two-year deal with NBC Universal, and his first job will be working on the final three episodes of "Heroes'" current season.

Fuller wrote the best episodes of "Heroes'" first, best season, including the Noah Bennet-centric "Company Man." Fuller left "Heroes" late in its first season to create "Daisies" -- and "Heroes" has been a confusing mess ever since, confounding fans and critics and currently garnering about half as many viewers as it did during Fuller's tenure on the show.

Despite "Heroes'" substantial declines, there are still few shows as popular on NBC, whose current slate includes even lower-rated fare like "My Own Worst Enemy," "Knight Rider," "Crusoe," "Life," "Lipstick Jungle," "My Name Is Earl," "Kath & Kim," and "Law & Order."

As a result, the network seems likely to renew the sci-fi drama for a fourth season, with Fuller playing a more prominent role in the franchise's creative direction.

Fuller's signing with NBC Universal would surely signal the death of ratings-challenged "Daisies." It's hard to imagine ABC bringing back the black comedy for a third season without the man who provided its vision.

Before joining "Heroes," Fuller created the acclaimed but short-lived comedy hourlongs "Dead Like Me" and "Wonderfalls."
