Some of the comments on this blog are quite disturbing and shameful. There are those who cannot see anything good come out of anything because of their miserable lives and twisted ideologies, forever blinded by partisanship that frankly shocks me. CNN is not one of my favorite channels but on this i have to give them credit for doing something this selfless and grand. These anchors are getting paid either way with or without CNN heroes. what we ought to take from this is the fact that ordinary everyday people are being recognized for acts that are obviously selfless and humanitarian. It is very, very sad that there are those who see everything through the prism of ratings, left or right, liberal or conservative. life is a lot more complex than that.

If CNN was as devoted to charity as they say they are, they'd give more than $25,000 to each honoree and more than $100,000 to the winner. In todays world, that's a drop in the bucket, but it's an excellent excuse to have and promote faux "entertainment," and call it an endowment. How good of them, when the anchors are making millions just for appearing. Where are our prorities? Certainly not with "ordinary people," and their contributions.

@9:01PM: A lot of viewers already are, changing the channel.
Be interesting to see what ratings this blessed show brought.....and no, the other channels are not copying anything Klein does.

News is at the center of Heroes. That fact
that people are dying because they don't have
clean drinking water,homeless vets in America,
insurance companies not paying for artificial
limbs and mammograms that save lives. Rape
used as a weapon in the Congo,how hard it
is to get education in many parts of the world,
budget cuts that are axing music programs in
America's schools and all of the others. That's
what I call news. I voted and watched and will
do the same for Heroes 2010. The BBC does
stories like this all of the time.

Thank you for the pics. There is nothing wrong
with Heroes being on CNN.It is news that people
are out to change things and all too often stories
are ignored by the main stream media. Also,
NBC, ABC and CBS are now gearing up and
doing the same type of segments. This airs on
Thanksgiving night. I see nothing wrong with
a news channel airing a program like Heroes
on Thanksgiving or Christmas.I also like that
CNN is airing stories of hope from the football
player with a 45 million dollar contract sending
poor kids to college or the pastor who lost a
church in a fire but still helping the less
fortunate. There is nothing wrong with this.
Shows like this help viewers realize there are
good people that should be on tv news each
and everyday.MSNBC actually aired LockUp
on that day. It might get ratings but it is in
no shape or form news.

Congratulations to all the deserving participants in this event. Unfortunately Heroes did NOT live up to its hype, but that is to be expected from this low rated and mediocre channel that sees itself as the life line of the "rich and famous," with a peppering of News in between entertainment. And here in lies the failure of this show. Mr Cooper, looking dapper, but ill at ease, helped by the tremendous endorsement of celebrity, and a sprinking of ordinary persons of the year, the theme being, humble, and the question remaining just how shall we down play their existense? We'll hand them a large, cumbersome piece of wood encaptioned: HE/RO, and "pretend to value their achievement," because, after all, this is supposed to be a NEWS CHANNEL. Shall I laugh now or wait to later?
