Does anyone still need 'Heroes'?

I started watching the second season of Heroes, about four or five episodes in, but then I got so busy in my life that I simply DVRed the episodes every week. About two weeks ago, I still had not continued past episode 4 or 5, and the entire season 2 was sitting there on my DVR (mind you, it was a shortened season due to the writers' strike).

Both my wife and I, and we both enjoyed season 1, fell asleep during each one of the four or five episodes we watched of the new season. So two weeks ago, I deleted the entire season 2 from my DVR.

For some reason, and I can't put my finger on it, something went seriously wrong in season 2, and viewers couldn't connect with the series anymore.

In fact, as was reported, NBC's Deal or No Deal had higher ratings than Heroes (also on NBC).

I don't think that Heroes will be back in the autumn.
