An update on 'No Heroics.' We'll just have to see what happens:

No Heroics: ABC Say No
" Monday, May 18, 2009 | No Heroics, TV Comedy, TV News View Comments
A US remake of ITV2's No Heroics has been turned down by ABC, after the filmed pilot failed to entice them into commissioning a full series. British creator Drew Pearce, who was helping craft the American remake, had this to say about the failure:
"... a pilot was shot. And it turned out really well, except for the whole 'not getting picked up' part. Though it's unlikely there'll ever be a legal way to see it. I don't actually think anything went wrong as such. I will say that it's probably not the best year to do a massive, cool, edgy, expensive single-camera genre-based network-comedy without huge starpower on a major American network. Kind of obvious, but true."

So, will a second series of the British original now go ahead?
"That's still up in the air. Hopefully we'll shoot it very soon. Turns out the ultimate nemesis a modern cape can face is the global economic downturn. Wait: somebody should make a comedy about that! Second-tier superheroes who can't get any work so they take sit around a pub talking about their crappy lives? That sounds awesome! All I need is a name, a group of characters and some extremely dirty jokes..."

Here's what I've found so far on No Heroics... Looks like it's a no go, but considering the source,I'll keep this thread open just in case info changes

" ABC commissioned a pilot of No Heroics in the US, with Pearce being joined by Will and Grace writer Jeff Greenstein.[15] In March it was announced that Freddie Prinze, Jr. had been cast as Infinitum, the A-list superhero, and Paul Campbell, Eliza Coupe, Tom Riley and Arielle Kebbel are playing the B-listers.[16] Some scenes were filmed in the Gastown District in Vancouver, BC April 2009.

Josh Gad, best known for his role on the Fox comedy Back to You, played their former classmate from Superhero College, Horse Force, who can summon horses and works at a bar where the group hangs out.[17]

ABC declined to pick up the American adaptation of No Heroics.[18]"
