NBC cuts garbage disposal scene from Heroes repeats
We told you yesterday about In-Sink-Erator suing NBC for a scene in the pilot of Heroes that shows cheerleader Claire (Hayden Panettiere) running her hand through the garbage disposal only for it to miraculously heal moments later. But NBC has decided to cut the scene from future broadcasts to prevent any issues related to the lawsuit, according to the NY Post.
NBC officials said they did not think there were any legal problems with the show, but will change the offending scene anyway.
“While we do not believe there is any legal issue with the episode as originally broadcast, we nonetheless have decided to edit the episode for future uses,” NBC officials said in a statement last night.
But since everyone is talking about the lawsuit, it is probably the best thing that could happen to Heroes, with people wanting to see the cut scene before it vanishes. But don’t worry, I am sure someone will post it to YouTube if you missed it.
