Bryan Fuller exits 'Heroes'


Just as Heroes was gaining some creative momentum comes word of another setback: Bryan Fuller has vacated his post as consulting producer.

The acclaimed Pushing Daisies auteur has left to focus on developing new projects for NBC, and not (as some have speculated) due to creative differences with series creator Tim Kring. 

"I'm crafting two pilots right now and it's a lot of work," admits Fuller, who has an overall deal with NBC. "It was just too hard to [juggle] Heroes and my development; something had to give."

Fuller returned to Heroes last December, shortly after ABC dropped the ax on Daisies. Many (yours truly included) credited him with the show's end-of-season creative rebirth.  I'm thinking that Fuller should take Pushing Daisies to NBC and Bring it back to life!  Pun intended.

Reaction to Fuller's exit? Are you as bummed as I am? Sound off below!
