Clone Wars Episode listing through 12/10

http://www.tv.com has a listing of the first 10 aired episodes of Clone Wars, the last of which will air 12/10. I'm guessing the show will then go on a holiday hiatus until after the New Year, maybe not even until February sweeps. We'll have to see. Anyway, if you click on the episode titles, you can read a brief synopsis of each episode. BEWARE OF SPOILERS! The synopses give some things away, including what happens in this week's episode "Downfall of a Droid." I'm very interested in "Bombad Jedi" though, heh heh...

OT: NBC Cans "Heroes" Executive Producers

Ruh-roh!

From tv.com:

It's no secret that Heroes has been struggling this year. The one-time network savior has seen its ratings nose-dive almost as fast as the Dow Jones in its third season, which was supposed to be the big turnaround point after a disappointing second season was cut short by the writers strike.

NBC has taken note of Heroes' performance, and it made some necessary moves this weekend. The network has fired co-executive producers Jeph Loeb and Jesse Alexander over creative differences, according to Variety. The pair was known to run the day-to-day operations of Heroes under the eye of series creator Tim Kring.

Heroes is currently in its third season and has seen its share of negative press from critics who are calling the drama bloated with too many characters and storylines, silly, and smug. Budget issues are also reportedly surfacing, with each episode costing NBC an estimated four million dollars apiece.

Here's a recent starwars.com interview with the now-unemployed Jesse Alexander:
