It didn’t work out too well for the last series they tried this with, but you gotta give NBC props for not giving up on the concept. The first episode of their new Rising Stars meets the 4400-esque series, “Heroes,” will be offered for free via iTunes on September 1st, 3 weeks before the show premieres on TV on September 25th. I haven’t really been following the buzz on the show, so I have no idea if people are stoked about it or not, but hell, I’ll download it and try it at my leisure.
